Ozzy, the Beagle, faced a tough time growing up, which was evident from his physical appearance alone. Hannah, his foster mom, suspected that he had been neglected for a long period due to his poor condition. “I had never seen a dog in such a sorry state before. He was extremely skinny, bones visible, little fur, infected and itchy skin. Every step seemed painful for him,” Hannah recounted to The Dodo. When Ozzy arrived at her home, he appeared unhappy, trembling with fear, and looking lifeless, only seeking sleep and rest.
