Louie's story began almost 3 years ago. His first "family" was not very nice to him. They had a large dog, and that dog refused to allow Louie to eat. The people did not do anything assist Louie, allowing him to become emaciated. This large dog was also encouraged by the owners to attack Louie, subjecting him to almost daily dog fights. When he was rescued in May '09 by Delaware Valley Bichon Rescue, he weighed only 7 pounds. He also had little fur (from the malnutrition), and evidence of bites all over his tiny little body.
Louie was adopted by the Garman's this past summer and is now living the good life.
