This is a dog that was abandoned and had some hair but since has lost all of it. Its skin is scaly and alligator like and cracks and bleeds easily.

There could be one of the following three reason behind the hair loss in dogs.
1. Allergy
2. Nutrient deficiency
3. Magne (Disease causing Hair fall and itchy skin)
I think yours is having the third problem, Magne. Magne is also of two types,
1. Pododermatitis magne (only affecting paws)
2. Demodectic mange, which harms the whole skin, resulting in patchy fur or scaly skin.
This is a contagious disease, even humans can get affected by it, so keep a little distance and take your dog to a vet. The dog suffering from this disease needs vaccination and proper medication.

I'm not a vet but from my own experiences with my previous dogs. Allergy in their food is the usual cause of hair fall and scaly alligator cracks in the dog's skin. ^^

There are also hormonal diseases which can do this, which need specialised treatment from the vet.
