Wodonga Dog Rescue made a public appeal on Monday for help to find the Neapolitan Mastiff with a large scar on his back and a black collar.

Dog rescuer Peta McRae said she last saw him on their eight-hectare property and that he potentially jumped the fence.

She said he was very timid and hadn't eaten for a few days.

He had only been in Wodonga for about a week after she rescued him from Cooma, where he had been treated badly.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Boston doesn't know the area.

"He could be anywhere," Ms McRae said. "He was in poor condition when we got him and he probably won't respond to his name called."
