Neglected Hairless Frenchie Looks Like An Old Man

People confused him for a newborn baby — wait to see his face when he grows out his peach fuzz

Transcript

00:00Harold is not a hairless Frenchie.

00:07He just doesn't have hair because he was rescued from a severe neglect case.

00:13Around four months old, Harold was surrendered to Cleft Pup Brigade.

00:17We saw him on their Instagram and immediately fell in love with him.

00:21I said, I know that I can get this puppy turned around.

00:27For him to go from birth to the state he was in, that is just such a concentrated amount

00:31of time for a small puppy to be in discomfort.

00:36We knew that we had to give him these medicated baths.

00:39So we gave him those baths every other day.

00:41And he was like so comfortable in the bath.

00:44He just likes being warm.

00:46And then we would slather him with lotion because that was what was going to help that

00:50hair growth.

00:54And then we would put t-shirts or sweaters on him just to kind of soak it in extra.

01:01He loves to be held and we would take him a lot of places and we would hold him really

01:05close to us.

01:06And he wasn't fully potty trained.

01:08Sometimes we would have a diaper on him and people would say, I saw you sitting over there

01:11and I thought that you were holding a baby or thought you were holding a Sphinx cat.

01:17After a week or two, we started to notice his peach fuzz growing back all over his body.

01:25It was really quickly after we brought him into our foster care that we could see that

01:30he just had this incredible personality.

01:32It's almost like he enjoys making people laugh.

01:35After about a month, we knew that it was time for us to start finding his perfect forever

01:39family.

01:42We found a perfect family for him and they have a dog already named Hippolyta, who's

01:47a very beautiful bully breed.

01:50And she and Harold at the meet and greet were so sweet together and so playful.

01:56And he's a puppy.

01:57He's a wild puppy.

01:58But she was so patient with him.

02:01We knew that that was going to be a perfect home for Harold.

02:03When you are able to just give all of this love and attention to a dog that really, really

02:08needs it, the reward is seeing them heal, seeing them thrive.

02:13And it really is so special to be a part of that.
