This is Lazarus. No, he isn’t a sheep, he is actually a dog. A dog that had been living in a barn for far too long without anyone to groom his coat. To rescue Lazarus, they had to use shovels. The feces and dirt were blocking the door.

Two groomers, one we will call C (who asked to have their name kept private), and Jessica Kincheloe were asked to go to help out Lazarus.

Now, you many think that Lazarus’ owner was a bad one to have neglected his/her dog for so long. While that may be true, they also had a terminal illness which prevented them from doing the work.

But that doesn’t excuse the condition of the dog. Help can be called at any time for animals in need. Anyway, C and Jessica went to the house and were able to remove the 35 pounds of extra fur.
