90-Pound Beagle Loses 70% Of His Body Weight | The Dodo Faith = Restored 

Me too. That’s totally heartless.

that's what it sounds like to me. i'm not sure what the logic was on their end? i mean, probably none, but i'm just curious what their reasoning was when they decided to abandon him in the middle of summer in phoenix in that condition.

I wonder if a relative or friend of the owner stole and dumped him? Sometimes people don't like what the owner is doing and can't convince them to change. They might have figured this was the only way the dog could get the help it needed. You just never know.

Perhaps the owner was old and descending into Alzheimer's diseease.

People are scum

@༺Cara Noonan༻ when I was in H.S. we had one that was a butter eater.

@@claudiaionescu1661 LOL WHAT THE HECK 😂

I have one that steals from all the other dogs and is 35#.. I barely even feed her. They can be a challenge to maintain their weight, but sometime way before 90# or even 40# they should have figured out he was losing quality of life and figured out a way to turn it around. Poor guy is lucky to be alive now

How did they feed him so much I mean it probably took so much work to care for him and to feed a dog that can’t walk But I guess that’s why he was abandoned…

@@thefisherking78 that's what gates and crates are for. I have a dog that steals all food so he eats behind a gate and isn't let into the room until our other dog is done. Simple solution.

How can anyone just dump their pet??

Niki - I have no idea! For me it’s till death do us part. I cannot believe they did this and then dumped him! Criminal!

Sadly, it does happen. Maybe 15 years ago, I was driving with my boyfriend a couple miles outside our city limits in a pretty rural area. We suddenly see a dog jump out of some trees and start running down the road. We slow down and get closer, and bf says "That looks like [his friend's] dog." Bf got out of the car and walked over to the dog. Bf just looked over at me, bent down to grab the collar, and walked back to the car with the dog. He opens the door and just says "Yeah, this is Max. That's his collar. [Friend] took the tags off but it's definitely him." Unfortunately, before we could get the dog in the car, he bolted straight into some dense woods. There was no way we could go after him. So we stood on the side of the road yelling his name, hoping he'd come back. No luck. It was now nighttime and we couldn't see anything. So we called Animal Control and left a message with the SPCA and told them that a boxer/pit mix was running around the area, that he's friendly but he may give chase. To this day I have no idea what happened to him, if he was ever found. I like to think he was caught and taken to the shelter, and was later adopted by a young family who would love his energy. I remember feeling sick to my stomach. I kept asking "Why would he do that, just dump a dog in the country? Why wouldn't he take it to a shelter?" Bf just said "He's been talking about getting rid of the dog for a while, I just didn't think he'd do this. He lives too far away for the dog to get here on his own so quickly." To be fair, the dog was a lot to handle. He was 2yo, super hyper and jumpy, and didn't respond to commands. It wasn't the dog that guy needed. But if he just took it to a shelter (they're all no-kill in the area), that dog would have had a new home in no time.

@@nikiindzhiev5369 it's fairly common since most look pets as objects that you enjoy temporarily, leaving them when they don't find any more usefulness in them. That's why pet stores and shelters need to know to what type of family is that pet going

​@@nikiindzhiev5369 well you see - some people are damn heartless.

@@drt-abrat1256 Oops. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

One of my neighbors had beagles and they would roam 10+ miles all the time. They love to hunt!

He clearly wanted to be walked...sad his owners never did..

heh wonder if he needed a tummy tuck

Hello there

Happy Sunday

I know....it's beyond cute!

He doesn't carry his babies? Doesn't even have babies.

@@CyberPunkSimms She means the stuffed animals he carries around, he carries them so cute like they're his babies.

I knew someone that intentionally made her pets this obese because she thought it was cute. So sad

@@Koofteh ty!

@@Koofteh thanks for the update! Fortunately dogs have a very stretchy skin. I think that helps :)

@@solarose7820 look into Obie the Dachshund he needed at least 2 skin reduction surgeries. Dogs don't have the stretchy skin you might think they do.

The power of love, dedication and kindness, motivate Wolfgang to slim down.

Beagles are SO sweet. You know the pain the poor baby was in, but still so sweet, still love everybody! ❤️

Yeah, I was actually thinking that this is more motivating (for me, anyway) that some of the human weight-loss journey stories I hear. I need to hit the gym!!

why would he? it's common knowledge dogs love food so he was quiet happy living for just that

Maybe because he doesn't give a damn about it, it's not like he has control over the food he eats.

@ S CO PO Did you ever think the obesity would take a toll on his joints? Or respiratory?

@@michaelmarino7391 Dude, what are you talking about? I'm not referring to his healt.

Good job! That is a pretty good improvement.

Nice

you starve him... that animal abuse

@@lnz971 Starving is different from giving them more exercise/feeding them less food.

@@lnz971 and where the heck is the proof for that?

They might have been old, and forgot that they have already fed him. Still a super cute journey back to his normal weight! 🥰

@@shrankai7285 Yes. I saw a similar video where the person had dementia and kept feeding the dog forgetting that they already fed it. Good job Wolfie!

Wow fat dog like that is so delicious for barbecue, if I have that dog I cook for whole family

@@mleonard4628 bruh stop trolling and go away.

@@shrankai7285 Oh that's true! Thank you for reminding me. Very proud of him though!

Few things are cuter than a happy, tail-wagging dog with his favorite toy in his mouth!

He is sooo adorable holding his toys everywhere!!!

Lol

Aww that’s so sad. I’m sorry, hopefully your dog is doing ok. 😊

Thank you!! OMG! My dad is the same, you can not tell him anything. Last class he took was in 1962 but knows every fucking thing in the world. Really is just a cover up for no self esteem. But still.. I just can’t with him 🙅🏻‍♀️

Lmfao

Old people are wise , there is a difference between wisdom and intelligence.

Obviously the previous owners did not care one bit to let this lovable beagle become so FAT! They had to know they did something wrong or they would've gone to claim him when he was found! People like that should be ashamed & not have a pet if they're going to do things like this to a loving, living being! SMH..... God bless Erin & Chad for helping Wolfgang!

Some people just let the dog have as much food as they want and it goes this way. Other owners think food is love. And you'll find those owners are about as fat as the dog because they eat piles too! I bet the former owner was doing a tub of icecream and a mud cake each day as well as other desserts.

He also probably never got walks, considering how excited he was when they first put his lead on to go for a walk!

First of all, not all dog owners think the same, maybe they loved him, so they gave him food, maybe they didnt Have time to go for walks with him

*They said he was a stray, so posible people just give him food, so much that he got overweight, sometimes people just try to help without caring about anything else*

Yeah, what a nice dog

He literally was the sweetest

Thats racist, healthy at every size

There are no bad dogs, just bad owners 🥺

@@milosjanic1038 I hope your joking

His heart AND his joints!

Not to mention the strain on his legs carrying all that blubber!

👍

I completely agree❤️🐾

The dog as an individual is always beautiful and cute, because he is a doggo and had no fault in being this overweight. However being this big isn't beautiful, in no living creature. It's cruel and outright wrong.

🐭

Probably

@@sekaram1967 😂

Lol

Shame on you for making me laugh so loud at this. Hahaha!!!

@Itz Brooklyn bruh its just a JOKE

Ok that's really nice of you. I prayed your dog 🐕 got well soon my love

I'm 100% judging whoever did this to him and then dumped him during an Arizona summer!

Just walk your dam dogs!!

@@siriusblack7714 and don’t over feed them. They can’t go to the shop and buy more food.

Dogs don't get fat eating meat thats why they can eat as much as they want, unfortunately dry food has a lota carbs and that makes dogs really fat (humans too btw).

You can do it, man! You've got it in you

You will make it! My father did, and he’s been sober for 35 years now. You will too! Keep strong❗️

@@hiddenpotentialproject806 I really appreciate that, genuinely

@@aliciaalva4681 thank you Alicia, I have too much to lose. I am a father of two beautiful young daughters. I'm not joking when I say a fat dog can provide inspiration, I had a successful life which has been almost but not quite completely lost through alcohol misuse. This big guy turned his life around, he's a dog, your dad turned his around, and so can I x

Jesus give you much success! He delivered me from cigs, smoked over 30 yrs!

Lol... really. He really looks beautiful 😍😍

I would have named him Kolache 😂

Overfeeding like that is abuse!

@@thenightporter They didn't say it was good, they said he was a lovable dog.

He was happy and healthy being that size how dare you question his lifestyle.... opppps that only applies to obese humans... weird that

@@DavidofBergen it really doesn’t apply to humans either.

@@nikolaolao Irony, that was the thought mate

That is exactly what I thought too. I'm glad he is happy and healthy now! :)

So scary to see how people would behave when they believed they have a way out.

My first thought too. An elderly owner who didn't walk him ever and took a beagle's constant desire to snack as a sign that the pooch was hungry. But even if done with good intentions, as the shelter worker said, it ended up creating an abusive situation. I hope he is able to have a long healthy life now.

Wow dog looks so delicious, how can I make dog for me so big from barbecue for a whole family

@@mleonard4628 ayo da fuq? 😶📸

Right! Ya ever see a morbidly obese person with grey hair? I didn't think so!

bo

p

Or probably a person with memory issue ?

@@ginamillondaga9598 how would it be a person with a memory issue? Even if you have a bad memory you can look at a 90 pound beagle and say "that's not good"

@@ginamillondaga9598 even if the previous owner had a memory issue, the fact that they were looking at a 90lb beagle one day should've tipped them off that SOMETHING was wrong 🤦🏿‍♀️

@@HaruDoneYet i mean if it’s an older person with memory problems or dementia basically they’ll forget whether they fed the dog or not, so just to be safe they feed the dog anyways. even when they see the dog is fat they’re not gonna just starve it.

@@HaruDoneYet but it sounds more like the owner just didn’t care. they didn’t know how to care for the dog, overfed it, realized how big he got them dumped him on the streets bc they didn’t want him. that’s a lot more likely tbh..

Nah it's strictly for this beagle

@@Interesting.Factor u wrong for that haha.

that would be turned around and used as a forum of fat shaming...

Hey, i feed stray cats🐾🐈🐈🐈💜🙏🙏

@@Interesting.Factor Smartass lol. You can't say anything in this world, one way or the other...

Are you a child?

@@zirrow4585 if a chick weighs 120 lbs I would say that dog weighs almost as much as her. And yes she may be a child.
