More: We found Ike as a stray. He was underweight and malnourished. We took him to our shelter. When he went unclaimed after the five day wait period, we adopted him. Our vet said he had experienced a pretty rough life. He weighed 50#, had generalized alopecia and fly strike dermatitis on his ears. After several months of love, care and a diet of Purina Pro Plan he reached his ideal weight of 75#. He loved swimming in our pond and being outdoors with us and at the end of the day being with us in our home. Ike is a true faithful friend.
