Sometimes it is truly hard to understand the cruelty in the hearts of some people. They neglect, abuse, and abandon their pets and they have no limits to their malice. At every corner, we can see dumped dogs with sad faces, left to fend for themselves.
Just one day, a kind woman was going to the gym when she stumbled upon something that totally broke her heart. In the middle of the road, there was a dumped dog who could barely stand on his feet.
Yet, this woman knew that there was no time to despair, but that she had to act immediately.
Heartbreaking Condition
When this big-hearted woman came closer to the dog, she was able to see the full extent of his horrible condition.
He was just skin and bones, his fur was covered in mange, and his eyes were full of gunk. On top of that, he was shaking uncontrollably.
Yet, what shook this woman the most was that he started crying when she took him in her arms. This amount of negative emotions meant that someone abused him before he threw him on the street like trash.
When they finally arrived at the veterinary clinic, the vet himself was shocked by the condition this poor pup was in.
After a thorough examination, that same vet determined that he was suffering from mange, fleas, worms, and severe anemia.
Although his condition was very bad, the vet still believed that he would make it.
Little Howls Of Hope
The dog’s savior was with him all the time, giving him strength to survive all these hardships. Because she did not know his name, this woman decided to give him a new one — Perola.
Perola was a true warrior. Even though he was very weak, he didn’t stop wagging his tail and gave little howls which were the signs of hope that everything would be alright at the end.
It motivated this woman even more to do everything to help Perola recover as soon as possible. She gave him a bath with coconut oil to help his dry skin, and she also treated a sore in his ear.
Perola lacked nothing thanks to this woman with a great heart. She was providing him with fresh water, nutritious food, and most importantly, with a lot of love.
After a couple of days of intense care, it was finally obvious that Perola would come out of this battle victorious. He was healing so fast and he looked much better than just a few days ago.
His mange and worms were gone and his hair was starting to grow back. Perola’s rescuer took him to the vet for a check-up and both of them came out of the clinic with big smiles on their faces.
This amazing dog’s recovery came to an end and he was finally ready for a new beginning in his life.
Happy Ending
Given that this woman’s memory of Perola was still fresh when she found him on the street, it was a real pleasure to see him transformed like this.
When she rescued him, Perola weighed only 9 pounds. Yet, after full recovery, he weighed a healthy 15 pounds. That fact alone says enough.
Yet, the most amazing thing was Perola’s smile that did not leave his beautiful face, when we remember that there were only tears just a month ago. It was the best sign that even the deepest wounds on this dog’s soul had completely healed.
A happy and healed Perola soon found a wonderful foster family, but that was not all because the best was yet to come. He didn’t stay there for long because soon another family fell in love with him so much that they immediately decided to adopt him.
Perola thus ended his journey from a poor abandoned dog left on the street to a warm home with a loving family who will never betray him like those who wounded his soul.
On that journey, his greatest support was a woman who saved him and never wanted to give up on him, remaining his guardian angel up until this day.
