When a sweet beagle was surrendered by his elderly owner to the Chicago Animal Care & Control, the staff had never seen a dog as overweight as the fittingly renamed dog, "Kale Chips."
Kale Chips weighed in at 85 pounds — a healthy, average beagle weighs about 22 to 25 pounds.
The organization One Tail at a Time stepped up to help to pup — but, when a representative came to pick him up, he was so heavy, he could barely walk and had to be wheeled out by wagon.
Kale Chips' previous owner used to show him love and affection through food. Unfortunately, "beagles are one of a very few breeds that will literally eat themselves to death," according to the National Beagle Club's website.
