Obese Stray Dog Is The “Laughing Stock” Of All The Neighbors

A stray dog eagerly waits to be fed by passersby.

Nevertheless, Bolinha never imagined that her desperation for her food would lead her to become the mockery of many. Bolinha was abandoned at a gas station off a rural highway in western Brazil. She had been living on the streets for several years in the midst of misery.

She has survived among the drivers who stopped to put fuel and people who looked at her indifferently. They only placed wasted food from the cafeteria for her to eat. The stray dog became obese being the laughingstock of all but no one helped her.

The unhealthy eating affected the 9-year-old dog to such proportions that she gradually became morbidly obese. Sadly, no one was careful about her diet, until she weighed approximately 40 kilos.

The poor thing became a kind of “local attraction”, being very striking for her weight. In addition, her state of health was not at all adequate. The poor pup longed for love very much. One day, the heartbroken dog from so much teasing, she crawled into a junkyard and stopped moving altogether.

It was then that some animal activists from a nearby town took pity on her and decided to intervene. They found her in the rubble behind the gas station.

From that moment on they took care of her and transferred her to the Animal Protection Organization. She was given perhaps the first bath she has ever had in her life. She finally felt protected, she was not hungry for food, she had malnutrition of affection and care.

Although she was evolving very well, they had to regulate her weight to ensure that she could continue to live healthy for many years. It was urgent that she lose those kilos that tormented her. She had to exercise daily by walking to relieve the stress on her joints.

It is impressive to see her transformation: there is no doubt that she will achieve the goal. The truth is that now she is a happy and cute dog who smiles all the time. Bolinha’s weight loss battle and her “amazing” transformation are inspiring people around the world.
