The workers at a foreign gasoline station in rural Brazil were shocked to seek out
a sweet puppy mercilessly abandoned by a passerby. Slowly, the pup
adjusted to life as a homeless dog. The workers named him Bolinha and
fed him leftover scraps from a close-by restaurant.
The unhealthy eating took a toll on the 9-year-old dog and he gradually became obese. Over time, his weight increased to such dangerous levels that he became morbidly obese, weighing in at over 80 lbs. At now , many locals came in to observe the “fat dog”, but nobody cared to urge him help.
For the locals, Bolinha was nothing quite an “amusement” to gawk at and to photograph. He was treated sort of a “local attraction”, but the bomber badly craved for love. One day, the heartbroken dog crawled up to a junkyard and stopped moving altogether. That’s when some animal activists from a close-by town got word of him and decided to intervene.
The activists found Bolinha breathing heavily during a ballooned-up state amidst a pile of debris. They took him to the Animal Protection Organization and cleaned him up. The shelter’s vet and lots of volunteers got together to sketch an idea for Bolinha’s weight loss.
Thankfully, Bolinha’s obesity was solely thanks to overeating. The volunteers began an exercise regime for the dog and put him on a strict diet. Bolinha was also instructed on a water treadmill to ease the pain in his joints.
After months of effort, Bolinha has lost a whopping 30 pounds. He still must shed some more weight, but he's now a cheerful , cuddly dog who smiles all the time. He are going to be adopted by one among the activists who rescued him.
Bolinha’s weight loss battle and stunning transformation is inspiring people round the world. We hope he spends his twilight years in comfort. We are so pleased with you!
