The South Wales Police brought three dogs to Hope Rescue.
A terribly matted coat
One of the dogs, named Sherlock, was in particularly terrible shape. In fact, his coat was so matted that rescuers had no idea what they would find underneath.
They spent over five hours over two days grooming the poor dog. As the hair came off gradually, they realised the dog was a beautiful little Shih-Tzu.
Without all that matted fur, rescuers also realised that poor Sherlock was extremely underweight. He weighed only 5.5 kilos, whereas a Shih-Tzu of his size should’ve weighed at least 7 kilos.
A bright future for Sherlock
Thankfully, Sherlock was a good boy throughout his extensive haircut, never growling at or biting the rescuers who spent hours working on him. And now he’s reaping the benefits: He’s much more comfortable and happy altogether.
His story is so touching (and he is so adorable), that we’re sure he had no problem finding a home.
