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.
