Unfortunately, far too many cold-hearted people simply ditch the poor animal; it’s easier to run away than face an owner’s responsibility.

In other situations, the owner simply can’t care for the pet due to unforeseen circumstances.

That’s why a morbidly obese beagle named Honey was mere days away from being euthanized.

Honey tipped the scale at a whopping 68 pounds – around 40 pounds overweight for her breed – and she could barely move.

Her belly was so massive that it impeded her every step and she’d even reached the point where she was peeing on herself.

This is where a responsible, loving owner would step in and help, right?

Well, sadly, we’re not really talking about an evil owner in this scenario; Honey’s owner was an elderly woman with dementia, and she just couldn’t handle the dog any longer.

And when she turned her over to the shelter, she told the staff Honey should be euthanized.

But for one thing, the poor woman may not have understood what she was doing, and for another thing, the SPCA is a no-kill shelter.

So, the team stepped up and helped Honey drop that weight!

After plenty of dieting and exercising, Honey lost 38 pounds and now she seems like an entirely new pooch. Said SPCA volunteer Sue Cable, who fostered Honey:

“I was amazed at how fast it happened.

Once she was in a home and able to move around in that, she just went!”

The transformation is really something special; check out the full story here:
