It’s not every day that we are faced with a choice that could potentially change an animal’s life for the better.
But when the opportunity arises, it is important to step in and offer a helping hand, no matter how small the gesture may seem.
A simple act of kindness can make a huge difference in an animal’s life, giving them the strength to keep fighting and the chance to lead a normal, happy life.
In a heartwarming tale, we see how one rescuer responded to a call about a starving dog near a busy highway and decided to take action.
Dogs are like family to us, and when rescuers received a call about a dog in need, they acted quickly to find him. Upon discovering the poor pup, they were appalled by his condition. He was severely malnourished, with his bones visible and most of his fur gone. The heartbreaking sight of him unable to move due to weakness tugged at their hearts.
Despite his dire state, the dog had found some refuge under a small billboard, offering some protection from the elements. The rescuers knew they had to act fast to give him a new lease on life. One of them gently cradled the dog in her arms and placed him in a kennel for immediate care and attention.

Dogs Become Part of Our Families
The sight of the dog in such a distressing condition moved her to tears as she realized the hardships he had endured alone. Without hesitation, rescuers swiftly took him to the nearest clinic in hopes that the veterinarians could provide some much-needed assistance. The veterinarians were shocked by his appearance but wasted no time in conducting a thorough examination. Their findings revealed he was suffering from scabies, parasites, severe malnourishment, and dehydration – but they were determined to help him bounce back.
The dog, now known as Lancris, was put on a specialized diet to aid in his recovery. He was required to consume multiple smaller meals throughout the day to gradually regain his weight. Once he reached a healthier state, he could transition to consuming a few larger meals. Rest assured, Lancris was on the path to recovery.
Pets are Family
Once the veterinarians confirmed that the dog was on the road to recovery, Lancris was released from the clinic and placed under the loving care of his rescuer. This kind-hearted individual welcomed him into her home and diligently monitored his slow but steady progress. She made sure to address his skin issues to promote healthy fur regrowth. As the days passed, she went above and beyond to help him regain his strength and mobility, even encouraging him to take his first steps, although it might have been a bit premature.
Dogs Are Like Family
Ten days later,
he was not only able to walk,
but also to sprint, seizing every chance he got.
Though his journey to full recovery is ongoing, he is showing remarkable improvement,
and his rescuer is committed to supporting him all the way.
Though the future is uncertain,
I believe Lancris is now living his best life,
joyfully running around and discovering new places.
