It’s hard to imagine that anyone could be indifferent to the suffering of stray dogs. These hungry pups look at passersby with hopeful eyes, silently begging for help.
Sadly, some people turn away, making these canines feel invisible.
Toby, an adorable stray puppy, endured hunger and pain as he dragged his tired body covered in mange. His only wish was to become healthy again.
One day, he wandered onto a beach, searching for good humans who would show him the kindness he had been missing in his life.
Beach Day Turns Into a Rescue Day
As soon as the pooch noticed a couple, he made his way toward them, wagging his tail with a heart full of hope.
The wonderful people he approached were Chelsea and her husband, both dog rescuers.
The moment they saw Toby’s horrible condition, they were shocked. They couldn’t believe that others had done nothing to help him.
The pup, later named Toby, was skinny, sore, and mangy. Despite his pain, his eyes were full of love and hope.
The couple fed him and spoke to him lovingly.
Toby knew he had made the right choice.
When the rescuers snuggled with him, Toby rolled over on his belly, melting with love.
“For the first time in his life, he felt safe. He was so grateful to be rescued,“ Chelsea told The Dodo.
Toby covered his rescuers with kisses.
They took him straight to the vet for a thorough checkup. Toby was diagnosed with demodex mange.
The puppy received antibiotics and treatment for his skin condition.
He stayed at the clinic for a few days, where the vet monitored his condition.
After Toby felt better, he was discharged and taken home by his rescuers.
Recovering in a Loving Foster Home
During his first days at the foster home, Toby was tired and spent most of his time sleeping.
He started receiving injections for his skin. His foster pampered him with care and love.
As days went by, Toby’s condition improved. He began exploring the house and showing his playful personality.
He deeply loved his foster parents, always running to their arms for the sweetest hugs.
His fosters were smitten with his incredible strength and spirit.
“Being proud of this little man is an understatement. We are blown away by his strength, courage, and most of all, his spirit. He lives every single day HAPPY and full of absolute LOVE,” his rescuers wrote in a Facebook post.
Just as Toby started recovering, he felt severe pain in his lower back. His foster were deeply worried and rushed him to a specialist.
It turned out Toby had a bacterial infection and was prescribed antibiotics.
His fosters were relieved to see him wagging his tail again, knowing he was no longer in pain.
Toby made a full recovery. His skin healed completely, and new fur grew back. He transformed into a gorgeous pup.
Although his fosters loved him deeply, they knew it was time for Toby to take the next step toward his dreams.
The pup kissed his amazing rescuers goodbye and began searching for his happily ever after.
