When Adam, a Black Labrador, arrived at the Lucky Dog Retreat Rescue in Indianapolis, his skin was cracked and hair was falling out. He couldnt stop scratching and biting himself and his caregivers were at a loss for what to do.
They thought Adams hair loss was caused by fleas, but even after he was treated for fleas the symptoms persisted.
We fed him the best food possible, got him flea free, gave him baths twice a week, special baths from the vet, Robin Herman, Adams carer, said in the Huffington post.
Adam couldnt catch a break. The love and attention he was getting from his carers was not helping. That is, until a vet did a blood test and uncovered the truth: Adam is allergic to humans.

Aw. This is good information because I doubt many people (such as me) knew this could happen.

Luckily for him, the vet had a solution. Adam started regular doses of a serum that help his body adjust to humans, reported the Daily Mail.
Yey Now he can find a loving home.
