Buddy weighed a whopping 130 pounds! When he arrived at the vet clinic, his owners didn't see anything wrong or notice his paw was broken. Luckily, a lovely woman named Jalessa wasn't afraid of helping Buddy. He went on a diet and worked very hard towards his dream - walking again.

Let's wish Buddy and his favourite human good luck on the journey of becoming healthy weight 🙌
Swimming for Buddy in an enclosed pool would be excellent resistant training, losing additional weight, building leg muscles & mentally therapeutic for him.
Agree. That’s not love.
Buddy is a good boy…being so heavy is so uncomfortable for him. I’m glad he’s down 50lbs.
Please give more updates on this pupper!!!
God bless you for your goodness.❤
People do the same things to their kids also. "The owners were not aware that it's a problem?" How do you miss this?!! Thank you for giving this dog it's life back.
I just posted the same thing. Scary thought
I was just about to post the same thing too! To me overfed animals of any kind and children of any age is ABUSIVE.
@@sweetbermudaonions60 It is abusive. And neither is it unlawful. No wonder with kids, adult-onset diabetes has risen. So sad!
Some people are just so soft hearted they just LOVE to see there pet or there child happy even there partner happy they couldn't stop giving them food or treats they are just that type of person it's just great the beautiful pet survived. ❤
@@jessiemacgregor1357No excuse.
Unfortunately, many pet owners don't understand how harmful overfeeding is. When Buddy whined and nudged them, I'm sure food made him seem happy (at that moment). But we need to love our animals enough to do what is BEST for them, even if they don't realize it.
How emotional dead does someone has to be to not see this dog suffering?
They should have taken him on plenty of walks to take his mind away from food. He was probably at home all day.
A big cuddle or loving every “nudge” would of prevented all this suffering
Ive always trained my dogs to have food available 24 7. Their bowl is ALWAYS full. They never overeat when they know there is not a lack. I also feed my dogs once a day a meal of cooked chicken potatoes carrots and sometimes i substitute rice for the potato. They are all very healthy weight.
Very well said. I am sure they meant well, but they did not do what is best for him. They made him suffer, although probably not their intention
I hope the vet had a serious talk with Buddy's former owners. I'm happy for Buddy that hes making progress and starting to enjoy his life. Thank you for helping him!
They should be banned from owning animals.
@@guidofonlist4376 aye they dieted off water?
I would bet that his previous owner was very overweight as well. It's an awareness thing. Possibly, the first owner was, "hey, everyone gains weight when they get older."
"A serious talk" is not good enough punishment for abuse. They should be in the very least be banned from having pets for the rest of their lives.
The only way I can empathize with the former owners is if they were elderly. I heard of a case where the owner was elderly and suffering dementia. They didn't remember feeding the dogs so it resulted in overfeeding. I think any elderly person with pet should have a family checking on both the person AND the pet. Great job to Jaleesa for helping good boi buddy get healthy....now he can chase the ladies. 😊
I am absolutely dumbfounded that these mouthbreathers didnt get that he was suffering and he was still smiling! He must have been in agony! You are amazing for him,thank you lovely lady!
Thank goodness for his new owner right? He’s going to look amazing soon!!
Important detail, 'smiling' is just the way that some dogs have their jaw positioned.
He has dark lines around his mouth, so a permanent smile is easily made when opening the mouth.
Other dogs have a low-hanging-cheek and get a permanent disappointed look.
Our dog seems to 'smile' when she hears fireworks, but it's a stress-response, she opens her mouth but is not excited at all.
@@Widdekuu91 Yeah I always think it's strange when someone describes that as 'smiling'. Odd...
@LinkLink9256 Troll in the dungeons.
@LinkLink9256 sorry you feel that way i meant no harm, i was referring to those stupid people that did that to the dog
The people who did this to him ought to be put in jail for abuse.
There is a saying: "You can lead a horse to the water. But you cannot make it drink."
I agree. How the hell can you not know he is overweight? Saying you didn’t realise or wasn’t aware is not an excuse. It frustrates me that his previous owners just walked away without any recourse.
Absolutely! I have been saying this for decades! It is so cruel! I don’t understand how people can do this to their poor pets. Watching him try to get around is making me cry. 😢
There is to much animal abuse in this world..time to change the laws and make severe penalties for this behaviour
@19Marc79 like all cliche sayings, that's so wrong. If you put a salt lick in the paddock and don't give it water for a few hours, you can easily make it drink.
Thank you for giving Buddy a better life.
OMG, he looked like a spider with his legs that far apart. That's animal abuse, I don't care how much they 'loved' him. Thanks to this kind hearted soul he is looking healthy again.
So sad to see the state he was in, but what a wonderful caretaker you are to him
shame on those people who overfeed their pets.... how awful. i'm so glad this dog got the help it needed!
I dont even want to imagine what the previous owners looked like if they were not aware that he was overweight. Jesus!
I adopted an overweight senior dog whose previous human had died. He’s been dumped in a shelter, but fortunately for him a senior rescue pulled him. The vet thinks he may have cushings disease which caused his weight gain and diabetes. We worked hard to get his weight down but then he lost to much weight bc he’d developed diabetes. But once we put him on a special diet & 2X a day insulin he not only achieved a healthy weight, but you can tell he feels better. Bc of his diabetes I have to be really careful about food, no spoons of peanut butter or doggy ice cream, but fortunately for me and him he loves vegetables. I still have to be careful about giving him anything outside of his two meals but I also belive in quality of life. My boys fav thing is eating. Also when we groom him or bathe him, things he hates, he’ll get tiny amounts of high value treats. Getting an animals weight under control is hard bc they don’t know why you’re not giving them treats or more food, but you figure it out. Now days he sees a bit of broccoli as a treat.
thank gawd an angel found him and saved him
This kills me. You can clearly see how much pain he is in. Shame on the human who did this to him!!!!
Thanks for helping this beautiful precious baby
💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾
to the dog Congratulations on your weight loss . I love how he never wanted to give. Thank you for helping him.
Who ever did this to him should be in jail..
3:00
Excellent job to this woman for helping this dog extend his life.
Sweet boy! I can't believe whoever did this to him saw nothing wrong. They shouldn't be allowed to own pets
Jalessa thank you for taking care of Buddy. You are my HERO.
Not just any old potato a "Sweet Potato" 🥰
Love this. ♥️🥔💕
Thank you for rescuing him Jalessa!!!! Buddy.. you are gorgeous! You got this!!! ❤❤
I have never understood how anyone could treat a beautiful creature so cruelly. Bless you for helping this abused sweet boy and for giving him a chance at a good life.
This is definitely animal abuse and whomever got him into that state should be prosecuted! Thank you for helping him ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉
You folks rock, and know how to help save over weight animals, making them available for adoption, thanks for all you do.
Talk about somebody "loving" their dog to death! Thank you for helping and loving Buddy. As for treats, you can give him veggies - carrots, broccoli (frozen is a real treat!) , cauliflower Romain lettuce leaf spines are some of my dogs' favorites - they would choose them over their kibble! Good luck with his continued weight loss!!
Thanks for the info, Sue! I’ll keep these healthy treats in mind! My pup liked green beans.
that what my dogs received. veggie types approved for dogs.
What a beautiful Person she is!
Tough to watch but now there is hope. The extra weight is so hard on an animal’s heart.
From what I can remember our German Shepherds hovered around 30 kg (66lbs) so for this dog to have lost 50 lbs puts his predicament into perspective.
He lost a whole dog's amount of weight!
Poor Buddy. I'm so glad someone saved this sweet baby. Some people aren't fit to care for others, be they animals or humans. I wish we could keep animals (and vulnerable humans) away from such people.
Wow he’s doing great! 🐾💕 He’s a beautiful guy. Blue Heelers can suffer from hyperthyroidism. I have a Blue Heeler and I have to carefully watch his diet and intake of food. And make sure he gets lots of exercise.
Isn't it Hypothyroidism? This is what would make him put on pounds..with hypERthyroidism a person/ dog would lose weight/ be too skinny!
@@annetteenzoulis4870 you’re right. I meant to say that but got mixed up. Thanks for pointing that out
He have such a happy life dog is better and moving around more and playing
Good for you Potato, whey to go~!
I don't care whether you are heterosexual, homosexual, transsexual, asexual, or an alien from another world... Loving and caring for animals is one of the most telling reflections of what lies hidden in the depth of the soul. And with few exceptions, I have found such people to be utterly kind and compassionate.
You're right, it tells *a lot* about a person. I always say that if you're not capable of loving and respecting an animal, then you will never be able to truly love and respect another human being. I personally steer away from people who actively dislike animals and even from those who just don't care about them.
Why the hell would your "exuals" even come to mind from this video...Cant you just stay focused on a Dog for 2 mins. Stick all that up your G"lass, I'm completely about this Dog only
eh much easier to care for and deal with animals than people. Look at all the insane dog people (you know who I'm talking about) who are misanthropes and aver from helping neighbors or common man.
People in need are much more complicated
@@papa_pt you’re very right about that. I used to think that liking animals was a decent barometer for telling whether someone was decent or not. But after encountering so many nasty, hateful and vitriolic ‘pet people’ I’ve revised that philosophy. Now I would say this, if you *don’t* like animals it’s safe to say you’re probably not a great person but liking animals is definitely not an indicator you’re a nice person. Liking animals could mean you have gentle or altruistic tendencies. But it could also mean that perhaps your personality is so difficult and abrasive that you find the uncomplaining and nonjudgmental nature of animals preferable. Much easier to get along with a creature than can’t talk back or argue and is completely reliant on you for all its needs and has limited recourse to deal with things like abuse or mistreatment compared to a human.
@@batacumba nailed it 🎯
To him food was love. Thank you for helping this beautiful dog.
A cart could help this lovely doggy. Thank you for caring him 🙏🌺💚🐾🐾🐶.
Thank you so much for taking him in and having the patience to care so much for him!
Jalessa you're one heck of a human being, beautiful inside out.🧡As for Buddy, he seems to know he's got Jalessa championing for him. I saw that 14 seconds into the video. Just adorable.
Thank you for caring for this sweet dog. He needed you! ❤❤❤
So good to see Buddy has a new chance at a healthy happy life. ❤
Jaleesa is a hero. I’m so happy for Buddy!💖
Buddy is so lovely ❤️❤️❤️Thank you Jaleesa for believing in him🙏🐕❤️
So happy to see a "normal" healthy dog at the end. Can't imagine what his former owners did!
Such abuse should be punishable. Can't understand why people treat these sweet animals so badly.
Thank you for helping him regain his life. So precious.
You two are amazing!! You changed his life! Thank you!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
What an angel gal that took him into her home.
Wow !!! This is amazing !!! To ALL that helped this very sweet gentle giant get back to a normal healthy life ... THANK YOU !!! ALL that help ANY animal in need are EARTH ANGELS and are blessed by God FOREVER ... A special THANK YOU to the young lady on this video who cares for and tends to this dog with such kindness and gentleness ... What a lovely thing to see ... Such a wonder future now for this sweet and gentle dog ... God bless you ALL ... 🐾🐾🐕💖💖💖
Well done lady. That was heartvarming to see ❤👍
Good to know.taking care of pets. Btw that environment with open space to walk is very calming to dog, atmosphere makes him to feel good and accomplished.
They were aware but didn’t care! You are an angel
Thankyou ❤
Thank you for being Buddy’s new buddy! ☮️💟
Poor thing. He will have terrible arthritis. What a lovely woman.
Couldn't hold back my tears. Although the music was uplifting, the reality is, that he was slowly dying because of his weight. You saved him. Thank you so much for putting in effort for this sweet guy.
Who knows where Buddy would be now without her. He’s doing so well now. Thanks for watching his story ❤️
Thank you ! Jalessa !!!❤ I am proud of Buddy 😃and You!!!🌹for all your effort and love 💕
So are we! She has saved his life for sure 😊
Creating a tragic situation like that is NOT LOVE ..
It is another form of ABUSE ..
What the hell is wrong with people. If you can't care for an animal properly, don't have one or bring him to someone who can care for them. This is pure human stupidity. So lovely you took the time to help him and love him. So happy he has you.
Congrats Buddy !!! I just KNOW it couldn't been easy but, tenacity will make it happen... 😎 Rootin' for ya Bud
Congratulations on losing 50pounds in weight that's great and I wish both buddy and his human mom all the very best in continuing to lose weight until he gets to a very healthy size and it will show he will be much happier 🥰🐾🐾
Wow that was the most rotund dog I’ve ever seen,so glad you’re helping him get his weight down ❤🐕
That poor boy! Thanks for not giving up on him!
Yayy, Buddy!! Lookin’ good! 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for taking such good care of him...keep going! ❤
Thank you for helping him, Jaleesa!
He deserves it!
Killing your pet with love is more common than none. This is animal abuse. I'm a veterinarian and see it all the time. It's terrible.
I have a question, Dr. I'm not trolling, but I admit that it's something that upsets me.
Why is it that veterinarians are so damn quick to suggest "Euthanasia?" There were several times this was suggested to me by them, and I've always declined. More often than not, my babies turned out to be fi e with home care.
Also, I wish "Euthanasia" would be stricken from our vocabulary. Most of the time, the correct phrase is " Kill for convenience."
God Bless you both.Thank you so much for rescuing him.🙏🐕
Thank you
You are an Angel, thank you so much for caring for him & giving him a much better life, God Bless You!!
It'll only get better sweet boy, he's enjoying his walks
Thank you, you special Being.
Bravo. Thank you for saving him!
Bless you for having a kind heart, for this dog. A loss of 50lbs, is great. Please continue to help him.
We’re so sure that she will 💜 🤗
Thank God for people like you 👌🩵
Thankyou for loving Buddy❤
Supporting all that weight with a broken leg?! I couldn’t imagine how horrible that was! I’m so glad he’s gotten help and is healing..
Thank you!!🙌🏽
God bless Jaleesa for helping Buddy.
Wow! Even when he was at his largest he was rearing to go and a happy happy pup - your hard work and love and dedication has allowed him to start living his best life and have even more joy - thank you.
He has never wanted to give up, he’s going to do so well. Thank you for watching Buddy’s story 💜
Poor doggo.....thank you for helping him 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
God bless you for giving him his life back.
Such a happy fella. Hopefully he's got quite a few good years ahead.
Wonderful thank you for helping him to live his life and be happy🐾🐕❤️💕
Bravo and thank you, great job everybody, dog included!!
This is such a beautiful story. Thank goodness for people like you who can give such care and help and good life to a dog in need. I’m sure he’s so grateful!
We’re sure he is, most definitely 😊
Blessings on this young woman for helping him.
Thank you for helping buddy
Dearest Jalessa.. bless you for your wonderful heart and blessed spirit... To give someone a new life.... Beyond a doubt, you are one of God's angels.
Poor pupper. I'm constantly on my husband about him providing extra snacks to our Molly. A couple of pounds on a little dog is really bad.
He looked miserable at 130lbs. He looks great and you can tell he feels better. Good Luck!
You are an angel ❤God bless you for saving his life. Thank you from the U.K.❤🎉
Saved his life for sure 👏
He is absolutly adorable.
He's a gorgeous sweet boy! God job Buddy & Jaleesa❤
Aw bless him! ❤ I am so happy you're getting him happy and healthy again.🙏🏻 He is such a good boy. ❤️
I can't believe some one did this and thought there's nothing wrong. Imagine how they are with their children 🤔
Thank you and God Bless you both. You gave him his life back!!!!!!
We need to do that with millions of people..
Buddy is beautiful!
Bless this sweet boy.
I don't want to dwell on the former Buddy..Jaleesa you are a star ⭐ of the highest order and Buddy is a champ. You gave him back the life he deserved. I wish you both joy and happiness ❤❤
Love this lady! Go girl he needs you!
AMAZING JOB BUDDY!
AMAZING JOB HOOMAN!🙏👏👌💞
This story broke my heart. How can humans be so cruel. Thank you beautiful girl for giving him a better life ❤❤❤
