At the crack of dawn on January 15th, ONG Paraíso dos Focinhos received a report about a dog that left them completely flabbergasted.
On her commute to work, a woman came across a stray dog in a pitiful state. The dog seemed to have been left on the street for some time, as it was unable to stand, eat the food she offered, or respond to her. Unable to bring the dog to her workplace, the compassionate woman took some photos, recorded a short video, and reached out to the ONG Paraíso dos Focinhos for help.
As she prepared to depart, she made sure to tuck the dog in with her blanket. The canine’s tail wagged, a silent plea not to leave him behind. The rescue team rushed to the scene, finding the dog in distress and severely dehydrated. After running tests to check for any illnesses, they determined a blood transfusion was necessary since he was unable to eat properly.
The courageous young boy packed on 4 pounds in a matter of days, but was still struggling to stand and walk properly.
Her name was Dega, and by the seventh day, she began to develop a healthy appetite.
Three weeks later, Dega’s previously weak leg had become significantly stronger, although still quite thin, causing her to have difficulty running.
Three months had passed since they discovered her. She had undergone quite a transformation, and it was now time for a reunion with her rescuer.
