After sharing his mother's womb with six siblings, Beaux was born with a malformed cranium. Even though this disease never impaired his motor abilities, no one ever wanted to acquire this sad pup from his breeders. He was finally given away, but it didn't necessarily improve his life for the better.

The people that adopted Beaux were careless towards him, and let him to live alone in the garden, attached to a chain. He never received any attention, and he was not even treated for fleas. And finally, when his owners decided to move out, they had Beaux adopted after having maintained him that way for five years. That's where Jamie met him.
