[Help] I think a dog on my street is being neglectedDog Talks

I was taking an evening walk and saw a dog looking at me across the street and decided to cross over so I can say hi to him.

As I got closer I realized how skinny he was and when he saw me he tried to get up from a sitting position and was having issues getting his back legs to push him up. He was wobbly when he walked, you can see his ribs from the top and sides. It broke my heart.

I went back home and grabbed a little bit of kibbel and a chicken treat and gave him some through the gate. He took the chicken treats from me if i directly put it under his nose but didnt touch the kibbel i left on the ground.

I emailed animal control with pictures just so they can go check him out. I honestly cant tell if his really old or just neglected, maybe both?

I cant stop thinking about him and its breaking my heart...

Is there anything else i can do?

Here are some pictures

Edit: Some people mentioned that he just looks old. I did think of this too and I mentioned it to animal control and just said I wasn’t educated enough to tell. I really do hope I am just overanalyzing and he is being taken care of.
