Foster Dad Thought a Visibly Overfed 72-Pound Beagle Was AI-Enhanced

When a 72-pound beagle named Autumn caught foster mom Tricia's eye, she sent a video to her husband Dave, who thought the beautiful girl was AI-enhanced. Autumn's original human, who had passed away, had dementia, which may have contributed to Autumn's overfeeding.

When Tricia first sent her husband a video of Autumn, he genuinely thought the 72-pound beagle was AI.

Tricia, a volunteer with Triangle Beagle Rescue in Raleigh-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, took Autumn and helped her lose a great deal of weight with a deliberate plan to keep her comfortable.

Because Autumn weighed 72 lbs, it was very risky for her legs and back to take long walks. So, Trisha and her husband created a routine where they would go on short walks throughout the day.

Eventually, Autumn lost enough weight to undergo surgery for a torn ligament. After recovering, she reached a healthy weight and was adopted by a loving family.

Today, Autumn is living her best life with her forever family. And you never believe she's the same dog that Trisha and Dave met just a few months ago.

Autumn now weighs 36 pounds, having shed half her original weight of 72 pounds.

I am 36 pounds!!!!! I have been settling in to the good life with couches ...I love my new home
