So let me get this straight the previous owner not only overfed him to the point to where he can barley walk. But then dumped him on the streets in Arizona in summer!? That pisses me off so much.
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
I've seen a few over weight beagles but nothing like poor Wolfgang.
@༺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.
The fact that he had goals to fit through the doggie door that is very cute. I'm happy for him hope he leads a healthy happy active life.
He’s eaten a lot of decks! A stray my butt! He was dumped. Thank you for the rescue!
🐾♥️🐾
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.
Glad she stopped him, he would have def eaten the whole deck. On a serious note good job glad the dog is healthier & happy!

Thank you! You guys are real heroes, you saved this poor pup's life!! Bless you! 🥰🥰🥰
I find it amusing how he's still so active, so willing to walk and move his body even when he's absurdly obese. Usually dogs in such condition would just given up on life. Happy he's in good shape now.
So true. Inspires me

In this article I've seen obeast and (your) obesed.
It's "obese"!!!
@@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..
To the people who gave him a better life, you guys are amazing:”)
heh wonder if he needed a tummy tuck
How could someone be so mean to such a sweet doggie? It breaks my heart that he was in so much pain, but I am overjoyed that he is happy and healthy now! What amazing people . 🥰🤩😍
Him carrying his babies around is just the sweetest thing.
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.
It was heartbreaking to see Wolfgang at 90 pounds. However, you have to feel a bit better when you see what a good attitude he had. Seeing his progress through the pictures and video was very cool. I'm glad he is so much more healthy, now.
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! ❤️
His toy companions are the sweetest thing! 🥰
They did a wonderful job at helping him lose weight. When they showed him running I got very moved every dog should be able to run and he wasn't able to for a very long time. Sweet pooch hope he has a healthy a loving life😘
As a veterinary professional, this is horrifying. I don’t understand how it gets to this point. I don’t understand how people can have an animal and think this is remotely “okay”. The immense pain and discomfort he must have been in is just so heartbreaking to think about. I am beyond relieved that he is in a safe home with awesome new owners. Thank you for what you’ve done for him. Keep up the great work!
I knew someone that intentionally made her pets this obese because she thought it was cute. So sad
@@killywilly740 Oh my God, that must have been horrifying to hear
@@dashroodle9507 even as a secretary they'd still be doing more good than you are with your toxic ass comment.

It’s videos like this that make me have more faith in humanity ❤
Now this is the triumph of surgery real lyf
REMARKABLE!!! Wolfgang despite his obesity never lost his smile or faith. Glad he is at his normal weight. Inspires me to stay in shape and stay healthy.
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.
I hope Wolfgang doesn't have permanent health issues caused by his obesity. Thank you for helping him have a better life.
Oh yeah that's right I agree with you. How're you doing? How's the weather ☁️ out there??
@@user-vn7ce5ig1z probably some cancers also,heart issues.i sure hope he gets to live a long life after all that.he deserves it.thanks to the wonderful people who saved him!!
@@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.
I am so happy this dog got the help it needed. Thank You.
My grandma has a dog just like that... grandma keeps feeding her carbs, rice and stuff dogs are not supposed to eat.... I told my grandma it's bad for the dog, but it's no use... old people think they know more just because they've lived longer. .
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.
I can't believe someone would let their little dog get that big. Thank you for helping him! ❤
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!
you guys are angels. It's a blessing that the paths of this dog and your crossed. Amazing job!!!
This is a blessing. You save his life and he would be so happy and can enjoy life as a dog.
My beagle weighed 52lbs when I adopted him. He now weighs 29lbs! 😊
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?
He’s sooo adorable holding his toys everywhere !!!
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!!!
So happy for wolfgang! More power and pats and belly rubs to the little guy!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a 14-year-old chubby beagle, whose weight has gone up and down because of habits but this is by far more than I have ever seen. It’s definitely something to do with the fact that this breed loves to eat until they pop. The owner has to have the discipline to make sure they are keeping the dog active and not overfeeding. Trust, no judgment for me but this was crazy to watch. So happy to see the baby is doing better.🤍
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).
What an absolute cutie! Glad he’s happy and healthy! Thank you for giving this angel the opportunity to change his life ❤
I can’t imagine the strain all that weight put on this little guy’s heart! Great job Mom & Dad!
His heart AND his joints!
Not to mention the strain on his legs carrying all that blubber!
He literally was the sweetest given the horrendous circumstances
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
You are an actual life saver!! Thank you for helping this magnificent boy. I love Wolfgang.
His old owners aught to be ashamed i feel confident in even concluding his diet was scrap and human food! Good job wolfgang and family for the rescue and recovery such a happy beautiful boy
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*
I'm struggling with alcoholism, have been for several years.
Having just seen Wolfgang's video for the first time, and having tried many things (AA and the twelve steps included) to right many wrongs, I have to say Wolfgang might just be the simple, inspirational solution to my problem.
As you see the number of views ballon on this video, I may well be a major factor by having this on daily repeat.
Wolfie Boy, I salute you buddy. Thank you for your determination and clearly maintaining such a good soul throughout your difficult journey.
And peace to all, from London UK x
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!
Thank you so much for being patient in helping him.❤❤❤ Beautiful 😊!
Thank you for investing time and love into Wolfgang. He looks so happy now.❤
Can’t believe it’s the same dog!!! So cute how he had to have his stuffed animals while on the treadmill 🤣
Yay Wolfgang!
Thank you so much for freeing him. What a beautiful boy.
He's adorable. My beagle brings her toys out too. I love it. Thank you for helping him get healthy
He looks amazing. Thank you for saving his life.
Bless his heart, he looks like the most lovable swollen tick, sausage, bun of a Beagle I have ever seen 😂❤️
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’s called wolfgang bc he ate the whole gang of wolves that tried eating him
Probably
@@sekaram1967 😂
Lol
Shame on you for making me laugh so loud at this. Hahaha!!!
@Itz Brooklyn bruh its just a JOKE
Bravo! Well done! Growing up I had 2 Beagles. I lived in central Massachusetts. My town surrounded the Wachusett Reservoir. A very wooded area. My Beagles might be a quarter mile away, but I always knew where they were, because I could hear them howling. I would walk 5 miles on the Reservoir trails & they would walk & run 5X's that distance. They followed every scent in the woods. Beagles are relentless hunters. Like my Huskies today, people love to hear them howl. Most people!?
Now we just have to extend this same dedication to obese humans and we'll be on the right track
Poor baby. So glad he’s doing okay now! ❤️
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
Exercise and a proper diet are two keys to good health, for animals and humans alike. People are afraid to discuss obesity nowadays, because it gets labeled as "shaming." But it's not about looks. It causes disease, disability, and premature death. Lifestyle changes gave Wolfgang his life back!
Right! Ya ever see a morbidly obese person with grey hair? I didn't think so!
bo
p
You guys are awesome people to help him, thank you is all I can say because he seems so happy
Blessings to you for giving Wolfgang a better life.
I literally cried while watching Wolfgang struggle with his weight. I don't know what's the background story till he become that big, but for sure it's an abuse acted from previous owner.
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..
To think that this cute little doggo at his highest was almost the same weight as I am is truly concerning and heartbreaking. So happy you found him and took care of him. His poor heart with all that weight pressure… glad he’s so great now ! Xoxo
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.
Thats racist, healthy at every size
@@milosjanic1038 fatphobic doesent mean racism, unless you are implying all fat people are black/asian 🤔🤔
@@milosjanic1038 how is that racism?
moving forward, Wolfgang is in great hands and sure has a bright future ahead, good job everybody and Wolfgang!
This could be a GREAT example for humans as well...baby steps, to achieve a long term goal...
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...

@@Interesting.Factor Smartass lol. You can't say anything in this world, one way or the other...
So happy he’s a healthy happy doggo now, and bless the hearts of everyone who helped him on his journey!
should have cooked wolfgang when he was obese. Lots of meat for us to eat
It looks like a tick!
THANK YOU for caring about Wolfgang enough to Change his diet And His Life!
God bless y'all
At least he seems to have been treated with kindness, seeing how happy and social he is.
Im happy he got into better routine before it was too late.
This dog is so conscious of what it wants. It stays active and that what got him to the goal. So happy its living the life it deserves.
Why did you refer to him as "it" so many times? I'm confused
@@fabianatrindade56 not that’s serious
@@fabianatrindade56 it's very typical to refer to anything not a human as "it"
@@iamonmypersonalcomputer I know. I was sleep typing loooll
@@GerardoRodriguez-dn3zn True 😆
I know what happened. He lived with an old person who had trouble feeding him so just dumped the whole bag on the floor. Then when the old person died, some heartless SOB, probably a relative just sent him packing. This was the exact scenario with a cat I took from the pound.
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.

aww bless his little puppy heart!
Incredible work slimming that poor pup down. He clearly feels so much better!
These are some of my favourite types of videos to watch about pets! Just both pet and human putting in so much effort to help the poor pet that someone had given up on. Huge respect to anyone who helps out animals!
This reminds me of Dennis the Dieting Dachshund that also lost 70%+ of his body weight and went from 56lb down to 12lb. It’s ok to give your dogs a table scrap now and then. Feeding them the same portions of the same food you’re eating is abuse.
Especially when they’re small like that
You did such a great job with him thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you for loving and committing to change Wolfgang's life. He looks full of joy and happiness now which in turn gives us happiness!
I’ve never seen anything like this. They must’ve just kept him in a cage and fed him. The people who do this kind of work are truly angels on Earth. Thank you from Ohio 🙏
Wo wo
Overfeeding and feeding carb foods which are not supposed to feed to dogs are the reasons
You can tell it is over affection and love like our Grandmas do
