Sounds like Mason was a weenie about the cold and the snow like some of our southern brethren here.  Sorry couldn't resist!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

To everybody on Pond Boss, I apologize for not updating sooner. Its high-school wrestling season here in Ohio and I kind of forget about everything else.
Mason has rebounded like a champion. I'm figuring he weighed somewhere around 78lbs when he arrived here and his last official weigh-in on 1-24-10, he was 90.3 lbs. I'm guessing he's put on another pound or two since then.
He's never had a leash on him since right after he got here. He loves the snow now and romps with the other dogs like they're puppies. You know how they run and chase and dodge each other with happy feet.
There has been no dog fights for a long time and if Mason gets to cold, he cuddles up with one of the other dogs. They like it too!
Mason had a lot of loose folds skin on his legs when he first got here and I couldn't figure out why(kind of looked like a Charpei dog)(sp).It was because he was bone skinny. Those loose folds are all filled in now.
About his teeth being all worn down, he loves to chew on stuff. His eye teeth I don't know about but they still look flat. So I went out and got metal bowls for all the dogs so he has to chew on his hard rubber toys.
When we get time, I'll have my wife post more pictures of Mason. You will not believe the difference. Really nice not having to worry about attitude problems between these "buddies".
Also Anna and Jessica, if you're reading this I will try to get ahold of you this week.
Again, sorry everybody. When everything starts rolling smooth again, I tend to overlook some things.
One more thing, I'm not sure of Masons age but he sure doesn't act it playing with the St. Bernard pup (Stanly)

He is doing very well. He has 4 brothers that he runs with on 10 acres of land and has put on 20 pounds. Now at 100 pounds and still very lovable. hangloose_02.57434@uploads.photobucket.com

He looks like he has become quite the sweetheart. He's become quite a lucky dog!

HL, Mason looks great!!! Looks like all his hair has filled back in as well. He sure looks more like a Lab than Blue Tick now, except for those white hairs! I still think he is around 8 years old and it's those white hairs and worn teeth that make him seem much older.
Good Job!!!

Hats off to the new owners and everyone that made this happen including Rex! As someone in show business used to say, "Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?"
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Looks like he has a rough go in life, but better times lay ahead. Bravo Anna, HL and Rainman.

Thanks for the update HL!! Hugs and Kisses to you and your family for saving this sweet boy. Sorry I have not been around lately. Lost mom a month ago today. Been wading through all the details... What a bright spot to my day to see Mason doing so well. Thanks for the heads up Josh!
If it's not fit for you to eat, what makes you think it's good for your dog? AHAHM

Anna:
I'm sorry to hear that about your Mom. I'm glad to know that you were able to make the trip to Germany for her. Wade thru what you have to and get back here.
