This skinny doberman was living in a cage for a year — wait to see what he looks like now. We sent him a very special picnic lunch to enjoy with his rescuer!

00:00Oh my god.
00:02Oh, that's a good view right there.
00:04Oh, baby. I'm sorry.
00:06His condition was probably the most severe I've ever seen before.
00:11Oh, hi.
00:13His enclosure was pretty well hidden.
00:16There was a lot of debris and stuff that was obstructing our view,
00:19so we had to go and kind of walk around and find him.
00:21Hi, buddy.
00:22Hi, sweetie.
00:25Good boy.
00:26I went to go scan him for a microchip,
00:28and he tried to bite the microchip scanner.
00:31He was not doing that out of aggression or anything.
00:34He was doing that because he was so hungry.
00:38Oh my god, look at him.
00:41As soon as we walked up to the enclosure, he met us on the other side.
00:45Hi.
00:46Hi.
00:47Hi, buddy.
00:48He just kept putting his head in our hands
00:51and just bearing all of his weight towards us.
00:55Like, he knew that we were there to help him.
00:59We were able to get Chucky's owners to surrender him
01:03so that we could take him back to the facility
01:05and get him evaluated immediately by our kennel staff.
01:15Foster has been working super diligently on his recovery and his weight gain,
01:20and he's put on a lot of weight and acting more like a normal dog.
01:25I had been thinking about Chucky, and I reached out to his foster mom.
01:29We were able to arrange him coming to the shelter.
01:32The dodo was kind enough to provide us with lunch,
01:36and we were able to have a picnic.
01:38Chucky is very fond of food, so he had a great time,
01:43and I was able to sit down and interact with him and see his progress.
01:49The broccoli.
01:50The broccoli.
01:53She's doing wonderful.
01:55I cannot believe he's eating the broccoli.
02:01Good boy.
02:03Chucky would thrive in a home where he has a lot of human interaction
02:07and a lot of attention.
02:12I think Chucky would do well in a home that has another dog
02:15because he is dog-friendly.
02:18It makes me really happy knowing that we were able to step in
02:22and get this dog the help that he needed,
02:24and it makes me extremely happy to know that Chucky is going to be cared for.
02:30Chucky will be loved moving forward,
02:32and it is an amazing feeling to know that we were a part of that.
02:36Hi, buddy.
02:38Oh, look at him.
02:39You look so good.
02:41Oh, look at him.
02:42Look at him.
02:43Look at him.
02:48Hi.
02:53Good boy.
