Volunteers in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, recently found a homeless dog that howled (嗥叫) in pain every night, and barely managed to get up on all fours because of the unbearable joint pain. The dog Krugets had to be placed on a large scale by a number of people, and his weight reportedly surprised everyone. Krugets weighed 99.9 kilograms and no one could understand how a homeless dog could become so heavy.

“At the moment, the dog has already been examined by a nutritionist, we took blood tests, but many more tests will be required,” one of the volunteers who rescued Krugets said, adding that a possible explanation for the dog’s extreme obesity could be the fact that he hangs around a busy market where people often throw dogs food.

Even keeping Krugets in the hospital is an issue, because the hospital simply doesn’t have big enough cages to fit him. Funding all the tests, the necessary diet, and all the pain medication is putting a heavy strain on the volunteers’ budget, but they know they can’t abandon Krugets because he most certainly wouldn’t make it through the winter in his current state.

Krugets still needs painkillers every day, and although he has started to lose weight and can get up on his own, he still cannot move. He is very friendly, and loves being petted. He still has a long way to go on his way to recovery, but the response from the public has been impressive, with many animal lovers donating to support the volunteers’ efforts. The best-case scenario (场景) is that he gets adopted by someone who really loves him. After all, he is only 5 years old and has lots of love to offer.
