Skinny Doberman Living In A Cage For A Year Looks So Different Now | The Dodo 

They need to be prosecuted. Send this to the district attorney.

Actually so terrible someone would leave a dog like that

why aren't the owners who surrendered him being charged with animal abuse?

That kind of animal abuse would send the perpetrator to jail here in Sweden

Put those "owners" behind bars. Honestly, what they did to him can't be unpunished!

I would love to see the owners live in that cage.

Whoever put him in that cage should switch places with him for the same duration he was in there. In the same conditions.

Prosecute the former owners!!! So glad u saved him - he is so handsome!

People are the real animals

Not only does he look 150% healthier, his eyes have a new light in them! Thank you for rescuing Chucky & giving him the life he deserves. 🐾❤️🐾

Thank you, guys, for rescuing this poor pup from his situation. You’re wonderful.

I pray for dogs who are suffering like this one to be rescued by caring souls. Thank you so much!❤

Leaving Chucky like that was so deliberately cruel, the owner even blocked Chucky from being able to see anything beyond that horrible prison he was in. Starving, nowhere comfortable or sheltered to lie down, deep holes all over the ground where it looked like he had tried to escape, and no one to let him know that he's important and his life matters. I'm so glad that Chucky's owner was willing to surrender him so that he can have a much better life. Instead of a terrible lonely cage, he'll have a real home, and instead of owners he'll have a family. ❤❤

Starvation is a slow, painful process. It was sickening to see this poor sweet soul so abused, and when they switched to the "after" part I choked up. He is BEAUTIFUL! Gods richest blessings to all involved in saving Chucky. Please keep us updated on him!! ❤

I'm confused. What do you mean you had to convince Chucky's owner to surrender him? Why wasn't Chucky confiscated by animal control? Why wasn't Chucky's owner arrested for neglect and abuse??

How could anyone do this to an innocent animal. Thank you to the rescuers.

This guy really deserves the best.. glad that he was rescued

How sad... THANK YOU for rescueing this BEAUTIFUL dog.

This dog’s resilience is amazing. He still trusts humans and has a sweet heart after suffering abuse. There’s no doubt he will be adopted by some loving humans. Thanks to the rescuers and fosters for saving him.💚

So heartbreaking, thank you for giving him love and care 🥹❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

So happy to be Saved from starvation. Thank you for saving this Magnificent Dobermann!💖🐾🐾

That poor guy, what an amazing transformation! It really baffles me why anyone would have a pet and then neglect them to this, or any, extent. So glad he got the help he desperately needed!

How he goes from skin and bones to your everyday dog 🐶, also the fact that he would eat anything is completely valid

Thank you for taking Chucky out of that situation. He looks fantastic.

Doberman's are LOVE BUGS. There are so many people who would love to have him! Best to you buddy! 😍🙏🕊️

Thank you so much for rescuing sweet Chucky and giving him the life that he deserves! The previous owners need to be prosecuted! Blessings to sweet Chucky and all involved in his rescue and recovery! Please make sure that he goes to a truly loving family who will allow him to continue to thrive! 😊💖🙏

How cruel and disgusting a person could be to leave that dog in a cage!!!! They should be prosecuted and fined at the very least! I’m so happy you saved him, what a beautiful dog, and how generous he is to trust people again. You’ve gone above and beyond, amazing 🤩💫🤍

Animal Control needs to constantly patrol those sick owners to make sure they have no more pets. Thank you for giving him his life back.

I don’t understand how humans can be so cruel to animals when they give us so much.

Beautiful dog

Dobermans are the sweetest pups you can imagine. How can they do it to these awesome dogs? 😢😢😢

God bless Chucky and his rescuers. Angels do exist...thank you rescuers for being angels.

He’s a handsome boy. I know he will find a forever home. Thank you for saving him.

God bless 🙏

I had Dobby's all my life and they loose weight fast but gain it slow.They are absolutely perfect animals,I love them ❤and Thank you for saving Chuckie, he's an Angel as all animals are❤

Heartbreaking 💔 glad there are so many good rescuers out there like these folks. The fact the owner signed the dog over knowing it was in that condition is just disgusting.

This infuriates myself immensely! Kudos to the Rescuers!

His owners to surrender him. Yeah if that was me I would not give a damn what the owners had to say. The dog is coming with me.

I'd adopt him today. That dog has been through hell - he deserves better.

No matter what it is in life, people should not hesitate to ask for help. Community is great. Well done to like minded helpers who make the world a better place.

I was doberman rescue for Connecticut and NYC. I rescued some dobermans that were in horrific conditions. I rescued 200 and not one was aggressive. They are beautiful, regal, intelligent dogs.

Great job.

Shocking that the owners kept him to starve. Thankfully, you stepped and saved this lovely pooch..

To Chucky's rescuers, thank you, I love you.

Wow, he was truly at death’s door. I’m so glad they were able to rescue him🙏🩷🩷🩷

He needs to be well fed for the rest of his life, so he will never have to wonder again and be strong and healthy!

So happy to know he was saved!! Seeing him in that way being unnurtered is frustratingly sad. The Dodo ❤ is there restoring faith.

What a handsome boy! What a transformation. He would not have survived much longer. Bless you 🩷

Chucky is a lovely looking boy, good work rescuing and helping these animals ❤

Being a Doberman mommy, my heart is broken 💔😢

Praying and hoping you find a forever loving family home Chucky! You’re so gentle and sweet! X❤❤❤

Never understand why humans can be so cruel! How can you starve a living being? Thank you for rescuing this beautiful baby!

Oh my Gosh. Thank God & thank you for helping this good boy!

So glad he's safe, well fed and cared for.

He's very beautiful. Thank you for supporting Chucky & loving him back to his charming self. You are an angel sent for this purpose. We do see love in action. Thank you all. ❤❤❤❤❤

how beautiful!!!! someone PLEASE adopt this adorable baby!!! too bad I don’t live in the USA, or else I would! 😢

Oh…this makes me wax nostalgic for the pre-op Dobie I fostered for 10 days this past January. Otis was the doofiest canine I have ever encountered, and I loved every minute of it. The first night he followed me in to my bedroom, and, while brushing my teeth, he chose to jump up, stretch out, and make himself comfortable across my queen-size bed. I had to slip in, and push and push his legs out of the way to claim about 18 inches of mattress space! I checked on Otis last week when I had to bring in my current foster. He came out of consecutive surgeries/recoveries really well, and will soon be eligible for adoption. His new owner will have the best time with this lovable doofus!

Thanks for the video 🙏

Pinchser and Dobbie are SUCH loves. And they look 100% better undocked.

Poor, sweet pup suffered so much. ❤

Thankyou for saving her God bless 🙏 you all she's such a beautiful dog ❤❤❤

Our shelters need a national database of people who cannot adopt animals due to abuse or neglect.

I dont know how they got trough the rescue without bursting into tears. 💪

Thank you to Betty and the rescue for saving his life! He will be lovely in a new home! Don't shop...Adopt!

The monsters whom did this to him deserve the exact same. Wow. What pure evil.

Bless the people that helped this doggy. He's such a sweet soul.

Thank you for saving this sweetheart!

It is good to know that there are kind people in this world. Thank you for rescuing him!

Thank you for adopting them God bless you all

Thanks for rescuing🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️ GOD BLESS🙏

Poor sweet boy. His eyes was saying SAVE ME !! I love the happy ending for him ❤

Wow, he looks amazing Thank You to everyone concerned for what you did for him I hope he's in a stable, loving home having the time of his life now‼️

Thanks for rescuing this sweet 😇 angel. God bless you.

How could anyone let a dog get that skinny!? I can’t even eat a meal without sharing my food with my dogs 🤨 I hope he finds the best home 🏡

Incredible job humans, way to go!👍😁👍

Even in the state of starvation, his attitude was so upbeat. What a good boy. I hope he finds the loving home he deserves.

Thank you, I was about to cry when I saw this video.

God Bless you for saving this beautiful animal. There is no limit to the cruelty of some people. It makes my day to see people that actually care that make a difference for good.

Thank you so much for rescuing this wonderful boy and giving him the life that he life deserves , THE BEST ❤.

What a beautiful boy!! I hope he finds his forever home soon!

Oh my goodness--what a beautiful Dober to be locked away with no food or water. I so love this breed for many reasons. Chucky reminds me of my late Ziggy, a blue Dober, in temperament and looks. Blessings to him going forward ❤

I'd take Chucky in a heartbeat! He would be a perfect addition to my family. We have a dog that needs a companion (he's been used to being in a 2-dog household). I wish I could afford to have him brought to me.

it breaks my heart seeing an animal like this. I am just so glad that these wonderful people came and rescued sweet Chucky. hopefully he will find a loving family of his own.

What a beautiful rescue 💕 Doberman’s are amazing dogs

Aaaw poor baby, Thank you. Beautiful baby, hope he gets the furever home he deserves.
