One of my dogs was very starved as a puppy - perhaps not *quite* as bad as the dog pictured, but not much better, either. You could feel every part of his pelvis, and put your fingers *between* his ribs. He had strength to walk, but only about 50 yards, then he had to be carried. It took months of feeding and working up to it before he could run just a little bit.

After lots of love (and double elbow surgery), here he is now....
