These two pitties were left behind without food when their owner moved away — watch them wag their tails when help arrives ❤️ We talked to their rescuer, Joey, and foster mom, TK, about their amazing journey to being chunky, happy and loved.

00:00They were living in somebody's front yard, no food, no water, and they were so hungry.
00:12It was getting really hot, and also it wasn't in the best area, so we really only had a
00:25few days to get a plan together.
00:32They were completely skeletal, very tentative, very like one love so bad.
00:55The vet, they were looking at other dogs and sniffing.
00:58They were so happy to be alive and be in AC.
01:02You're going to get a bath, you're going to be so pretty, you're going to turn into a
01:06swan.
01:07You're going to be such a pretty girl.
01:08We're going to get a little bathy bath.
01:09She is just very observant.
01:10Oreo is being fostered right now by my neighbor.
01:32This is Buttercup.
01:41The second that Joey showed me that dog, I knew I needed to reach out because I've never
01:46experienced anything like that where a dog is so malnourished and so skinny.
01:51She needed a foster that's going to rehab her.
01:57Every couple hours, I'm giving her food.
02:00We're making sure she's very comfortable.
02:04In a month, we got that dog from 25 pounds up to 45 pounds.
02:28I want this dog to be in a permanent home, not a situation where I send her to a family
02:33and then she ends up coming back to me or going to a shelter.
02:39She has two other dogs.
02:41She brought her around her brother.
02:51She looked at me and she goes, we want to adopt Buttercup.
02:54I literally burst out in tears.
02:57I can't believe that this poor, poor animal was skin and bones on the verge of death.
03:07She's going on car rides.
03:08She's getting at-home baths.
03:11She is living her best life now.
