An abandoned dog spotted outside an abandoned building in LA on Google Street View has been rescued after a local rescue centre was alerted, reports UK newspaper Metro.

Hope For Paws filmed the rescue and you can watch the whole thing in the video. Sonya the rescued dog has now been given medical treatment and is foster care.
