At 6, Wolfgang was an obese Beagle who at 40 kg was three times fatter than his ideal weight. He lived in a kennel, and according to the volunteers there was very little chance for him to find a home, given his health problems.
But it wasn’t like that: he was adopted by a lawyer who changed his life. Her name is Erin McMannis, she works in Phoenix, in the United States, and thanks to her help Wolfgang is losing the extra pounds. They started with small goals, overcoming them little by little, and even though Erin thought the animal would resist, he proved to be very cooperative. Wolfgang began eating healthy and dietary foods, and exercising while maintaining cheerfulness. “Even his veterinarian is happy with the results – says Erin -: we are doing everything possible to improve his physical condition”.
Unfortunately, little is known about his past. Wolfgang was abandoned by his previous owner when he weighed 40 pounds, and it’s unclear how he got so fat, although weight gain is definitely not just related to food. In fact, he has also been diagnosed with a thyroid problem, and for this reason the veterinarian has been accompanied by a course of treatment to the diet that he studied specifically for him.
The dog has gone from sleeping all day to having a more active lifestyle, and this has also significantly affected his change. In fact, he plays very often with the other dogs in the family, and also does water fitness classes in the vet’s office. «He has already lost more than 20 kilos, and we are really proud of him – continues the owner, who in the past together with her family has already welcomed other overweight dogs into her home. Wolfang now weighs 18 kilos and his ideal weight is between 15 and 20 kilos ». Her story has thus become an example of determination and perseverance, “and demonstrates that one must never give up to achieve a goal”.
