A large dog was found abandoned, lying face down near a farm. The sad pup is named Arbuckle, or “fatty Arbuckle,” and he tipped the scales at a whopping 116 pounds. His joints were so small that they could not support the weight of his body, which made him have difficulty walking. Fortunately, “A Purposeful Rescue” in Los Angeles took him under their wing and is dedicated to improving his condition.
The furry friend recently went to the vet and it turned out that the pup was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. This explains why the dog’s body swelled and looked like a balloon. The poor pup also had joint pain, making it difficult for him to move. The treatment plan began with medication as the primary goal.
Over time, the furry animal lost a few kilos and regained the ability to walk. The dog’s weight loss journey turned out to be a one-way road. During this phase, famous actress Jane Lynch and her partner met Arbuckle and decided to give him a forever home.
After being adopted into a loving, forever home, this adorable pup’s incredible weight loss journey transformed him into a well-known influencer and source of inspiration to many. His story is truly remarkable and has earned him the nickname “miracle dog.” But don’t take our word for it – go ahead and see for yourself how amazing it really is!
Latest report: It is with deep sadness to announce that the beloved dog recently crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of nine. However, we are amazed to see how people have shown their love and support for Arbuckle, as the shelter received an overwhelming $5,000 in donations overnight from those who were inspired by his life and wanted to celebrate it together.
