FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – A puppy is on the road to recovery after she was found in bad shape in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, the French bulldog, named Miracle, is eating and growing stronger, according to the animal hospital who is now taking care of her.<\/p>\n

Miracle<\/a> was found abandoned and severely malnourished inside of a box behind a Walgreens on Broward Boulevard, Sunday.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear how long the dog was there before being found or how she got there.<\/p>\n

Since being rushed to a veterinarian\u2019s office, vets have been working around the clock to help her recover. It was initially unclear if she would make it.<\/p>\n

Police have opened an investigation into the incident as a case of animal abuse in an effort to find the individual who left Miracle there.<\/p>\n

There is a $2,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.<\/p>\n
