Hi Steemit, I'm Oliver: The Neopolitan Mastiff!

Hi there friends!


I would like to introduce myself, my name is Oliver, and I am Neapolitan Mastiff pup about 14 months old, though we aren't totally sure of the exact date. The beginning of my life was hard, someone chopped my tail off, and I was abandoned in a crate. Fortunately, I was found in Sacramento, with bad cherry eye, emaciated and mangy, just 60 pounds:

I don't really remember the details, but somehow I found myself in Yakima, Washington, where I was at least fed, but still kept in a crate. Eventually, I was so hungry I was eating my padding in my crate :(

But then relief came! When I was rescued by my new family!.

They took me back to Seattle, and I had never seen a big city before! At first, I was a bit scared of being abandoned again:

I didn't smile very much, I was just so scared :(

I slept a lot, and didn't want to let anyone in:

Eventually though, the cherry eye started to go away, and I got my first ever bath!! I even started to trust my new forever family!

For the last six months my new forever family has been helping me to recover to full strength, I am at 106 LBS, although my vet is pretty sure I will be on the small side because of the malnutrition when I was a young pup! That doesn't stop me though, I play hard and slobber all over everything, even you if you want to love on me some! I love my forever family, and my forever home, and I love to give people joy on the streets while I take my walk, I have become quite the metropolitan mastiff!
