brenda, a vet flarian, has a farm. her husband found this pile of fur, called his wife. took it back to the clinic and went back to work. removed 3 1/2 pounds worth of matted fur off of this poor little guy. >> they helped bring him back to health. >> the clinic sent out. mails, facebook notices trying to fine the owner of shrek. a tip came in saying there was an illegal puppy mill close to the farm. not only did they save shrek but 12 other dogs living in deplorable conditions. dr. ernie ward, america's pet advocate happened to be working with the doctor when the story unfolded and he is the person that put the video together, put on internet, and it's gone viral. >> we have dr. westeearny ward. and dr. goss and shrek. doctor, how is shrek doing? i see shrek right there. looks sleepy. >> he's doing well. he's recover, getting better day by day. it's baby steps. with his behavior, no doubt he came from a puppy mill. i'm so thrilled with the positive outpouring of support from everyone around the world, hoping it has positive changes to shut down these puppy mills. >> due
