No one knows for certain what life had once been like for this poor pup named Sang Su before he was picked up from the streets of Chicago as a stray, but one thing was immediately clear \u2014 he’d gone unloved for a very, very long time.<\/p>\n

That absence of care and attention was evidenced by the thick coat of matted fur that encased him from head to tail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sang Su was in such horrendous condition, his overgrown coat made him virtually amorphous; so much so, in fact, that it was impossible to even tell what type of dog lay trapped beneath.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Knowing that Sang Su would require more attention than they could provide, staff at the shelter where he initially ended up called the\u00a0Trio Animal Foundation<\/a>\u00a0for help.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit group specializes in caring for pets who’ve experienced profound neglect, but even they couldn’t have anticipated the dog’s awful state.<\/p>\n

“His fur was so tightly wrapped around his legs and ears that it was like a vice,” Sue Naiden, president of the Trio Animal Foundation, told The Dodo. “Due to the massive amount of urine-soaked fur that encased Sang Su’s body, he was hard for people to stand by because the stench from his fur burned your nose and throat.”<\/p>\n

But still the dog’s rescuers refused to give up on him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
