Correction: The Dodo apologizes to the ACC for several inaccuracies that appeared in a previous version of this article. Loki was not put on a euthanasia list due to his size or appearance, and his medical conditions were not ignored. Rather, he was properly treated for his medical conditions and also received plenty of attention and care from the shelter's caretakers. In addition, Loki was not shot with a dart by officials from the ACC when he was picked up, but rather by the NYPD. And the ACC reached out to Rescue Dogs Rock first. The Dodo regrets the errors.

Earlier this month, Loki, an 8-year-old Neapolitan mastiff, ended up at the Manhattan Animal Care Center (ACC).

Loki is an extremely large dog, weighing in at 170 pounds.
