Hobo is a dog, a German Shepherd his owner Joy Battison starved and neglected until he was near death.
Quote:
Joy Battison starved Hobo to the point where his weight plummeted to 40lbs. Covered in mange, suffering from severe malnutrition and with claws so long he couldn't walk Hobo was given just three days to live.
But Hobo has fought back and the 12-year-old now faces the new year with a spring in his paws happy in his new home with animal-lover owners Peter and Val Butcher.

He's not only living with Peter and Val Butcher, he's also living with "an array of other animals including ten dogs, ten alpacas, seven goats, 17 ponies, and 240 parrots".
A happy ending... but although he looks pretty healthy, look at his eyes.
He has a look like he's been a POW, or through a concentration camp... traumatized.
Ms Battison?
