I often think about how we as humans got a bit too comfortable seeing horrible stuff happen to animals without doing anything about it
And that is not a great thing A lot of people lack empathy for dogs and the result is that we have way too many animals who need help but cant get it
I know for sure that this dog was in the same boat He was seriously malnourished and lived basically in the middle of nowhere
Despite this nobody helped him until a kind man noticed just how much he was suffering and rushed to help
He Was So Weak

After the rescuers drove nearly 100 kilometers to reach the location they were finally able to find the dog He looked so defeated almost like he had given up all hope of recovering
The pup was very dirty and malnourished It was really hard to tell when he had his last meal He was sleeping in the grass but started approaching his rescuers as they arrived
The poor dog could barely even walk but he seemed grateful that somebody finally noticed him He let these wonderful people take him and place him gently into their car
Because it was already getting late there was a small chance of any vet clinic being open so they took him home first that night

The very next day he was at the vet and they gave him a thorough examination He was dirofilaria positive which basically means he has heartworms
Another problem was that he had a skin disease and showed signs of a serious infection On top of that he had anemia
This was all a lot and it certainly wouldnt be easy but his rescuers were there with him every step of the way
Charlies Transformation

He received full treatment which meant antibiotics vitamins and a new diet to help him regain weight The pup also receives warm baths regularly to help with his skin problems
The vets noticed that he was vomiting something that most certainly was not food There was a chance that he ate something he shouldnt have in his isolation to deal with hunger
It is now catching up to him but it doesnt necessarily mean anything bad He is also coughing a bit but the vets hope he will start healing soon

Just when things looked up the dog now named Charlie tested positive for distemper Everything was going wrong for him
After about a week his treatment finally started working He was eating better and his mood improved He was doing a lot better
Every day he was doing a bit better Charlie was even allowed to play with other dogs at the shelter which meant that they were on the right track

His rescuers showered him with affection and he underwent an absolutely amazing transformation in almost six months He is completely unrecognizable now
The shelter staff placed him on an adoption list and are trying to find a forever home for him After a thorough search his rescuers thought they finally found someone for him
His family adopted him shortly after and he was finally given a chance to start over Charlie loves his new parents and siblings and I am so glad to see he is living such an amazing life
