Who Rescued Who?
Peety was the subject of an adorable 2016 Youtube video about the transformation and the impact that animals can have on our lives. Peety transformed his owner, Eric O’Grey’s life by inspiring him to be the person he wanted to be. Before meeting Peety O’Grey was a 320-pound middle aged man with diabetes and hypertension. Advised by one of his doctors to get a companion, he adopted Peety who was an obese middle-aged dog – how fitting. Within one year of each other’s company, Eric lost 140 pounds and Peety lost 25 pounds. “I think about it now: Who rescued whom? Did I rescue him, or did he rescue me?” says Eric.
