"HERCULES was barely a dog anymore, confined and forgotten in a Gloucester County basement like a box of dusty, old toys.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Roxanne Notaro's chocolate Labrador, "Little," had food, warmth and love.
Officials with the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals say it's a miracle that Hercules, an American bulldog, is alive after cops found him locked in a small crate and covered in feces, urine and fleas in the basement of Notaro's home on Vassar Road in Wenonah last week.
Hercules weighed 38 pounds.
"He was literally skin and bones with little or no muscle mass," said NJSPCA spokesman Matt Stanton."
