Chance's weight gain (oh and Harvey)

Took some photos of the big lump today as he has put a mahoosive amount of weight on since we got him 4 months ago.

Some background for those who don't know him. Chance is a now 2 year old american bulldog, whom we got from a rescue centre in September, he was very badly mistreated, starved, had ciggy burns on his head and muzzle, had never been on a lead (bar at the centre) no socialising, and yet is brilliant with other dogs.

This however means he is very nervous and wary of strange people and has made himself guard dog at home especially of me.

Anyway he was severely underweight at only 25kg when we got him, weighed him this morning at 42kg and looking a million times better then he did, he's also putting on muscle tone now he's up to a healthier weight. So thought i'd show you some photos from then and today!

Then:





Today:

What a handsome boy. I love american bulldogs.
You know I often see dogs in the park that are just as skinny as that. The owners seem to be under the impression they are 'fit' and 'lean'.
Theres a difference between stripped condition and severely underweight. No dog should be kept in a stripped condition-thats animal cruelty.
Really gets my goat. >

yer i no what you mean i keep both of them lean but chance was far to underweight for my liking

Chance is looking so much healthier now.

I know I saw the pics when you brought him home, but I didn't realise how underweight he was.

Thank you Ella for giving him such a better life than the one he had before.

he looks amazing well done! God i didnt realise he was THAT skinny when u got him!

Thanks
