00:00Leo is the worst of the two. You could see every bone in his body.
00:04His condition score was a 2 and that's considered emaciation.
00:11Lou was in just atrocious condition.
00:18We were told they were former workhorses who were just dumped.
00:23They came from the same farm and were just so incredibly close.
00:30In the time that I've been with the center, I've never seen a more bonded pair come through.
00:36We decided we needed to help these guys and get them the proper love and care that we think they deserve.
00:45We started to put on weight really slow, but we noticed that Leo started struggling to stand up.
00:51We reached out to Spy Coast Farm and I said, hey, look, we need to find a way to build up his muscle mass while we're slowly putting weight on him.
00:58And they suggested water treadmill therapy.
01:05After three months, he put on 300 pounds.
01:14He enjoys going to his sessions.
01:16I feel like he's so excited like he remembers where he's at.
01:21He really lit up.
01:25His top line completely changed.
01:28Whenever Leo was like going to his rehab session, he'd come back.
01:31They'd kind of give a little knicker to each other and they were excited to see each other.
01:36It's truly astonishing to see their transformation.
01:40The staff have put in all of that time, dedication and love to look back now and see how they are doing and just how that journey has really unfolded is just heartwarming.
