As if homeless dogs don’t already have it bad enough, this one in particular used to have a family but was abandoned at a beach in Newport, California. To make matters worse, he was carrying an extra 46 pounds around due to a tumor growing on his side, writes xaga
Thankfully, Schomburg was able to gather enough money, with the help of grants, for Henry to have surgery to remove the giant tumor. Despite the fact that the tumor was cancerous, it did not spread.
Henry became a local celebrity after the media picked up on his story, and he now has fans from all over the world. People from all over the world sent him gifts and treats to express their gratitude for being moved by his story.
Although his passing is sad news, some good news has come out of this. They were able to locate Henry’s previous owner after conducting additional research. The OC District Attorney’s Office has charged her, and her criminal case is still pending.
