He had not eaten for days, even weeks. Despite his horrific condition, seeing these people come over to him, he began to leap around with joy. His heart was still hopeful.

Cobalt had been chained up for so long that it seemed nearly impossible to free him, but his rescuers refused to give. There was no chance that they were going to leave this beautiful, blue-eyed, boy to continue in these conditions. After being spotted by a neighbor, who was also appalled by the state of this dog,  they soon had backup. At last, they were able to cut the chains, Cobalt was free and couldn’t contain his excitement.

Glad to be free, Cobalt excitedly walks away with his rescuers. Jumping into the car boot, he finds a bag of dog food. The poor baby had been starving for so long that he instantly ripped the bag open and began to eat. Cobalt is taken straight to the rescue center where they do a full checkup. He soon began to pick up some weight, while patiently waiting to see what the future holds.
