Drax was starving, hearbreakingly thin, and constantly terrified, and never knew when, or if, he’d get his next meal.

But ever since being rescued and then adopted by Charmaine Hulley, Drax has been living the good life. Perhaps he’s even been living a little bit too good.

It was two years ago that Hulley’s sister spotted the scared and emaciated pup loitering outside a supermarket in Australia. After conferring with her husband, she brought the poor pup home with her with the intention of nursing him back to health. However, in the end, it was Hulley who became Drax’s mommy. At the time, Hulley was staying with her sister and her brother-in-law, and when her sister brought home a thin and starving stray from the supermarket parking lot, she instantly felt protective of him.

Drax was initially too scared to even look at anyone, and even though he was clearly starving, he was also too terrified to eat anything. Hulley quickly decided to take on the responsibility of healing both his mind and body and began the process of tending to his health, weight, and mental health.

Drax’s health and wellbeing improved drastically under Hulley’s care, and when she moved out from her sister’s house to move in with her boyfriend, she brought Drax with her. Drax was very happy living with Hulley and her boyfriend, Taylor, and Hulley’s four other rescue pups. Drax had all the love and safety he could have ever asked for, and he never had to go hungry. But Drax eventually learned that you can have too much of a good thing. After Hulley moved in with her mother for a few months, leaving Hulley with Taylor, Drax’s weight started increasing a bit too much. Taylor was working long hours which resulted in Drax’s meal plan becoming a bit less structured and he also and ended up getting to munch down on too much delicious human food, such as steak and KFC.
