Love can do wonders for people and for animals too. The sad fact is that many people and animals are abandoned and unloved and this results in terrible physical and mental trauma for them. People have doctors and psychiatrists to take care of them, but animals, once abandoned, are doomed. They can contract skin diseases and that will make them more alone. But as humans, we are kind and empathetic.
Here are 30 photos of rescued dogs while they were in terrible conditions, and their transformation over a period of time:
1. Starved
He was starving and so weak that he was not able to stand up. Within 7 weeks, he’s healthy and happy.
2. Burnt
The fire had almost consumed this dog and he had about 75% burns on his fur. Even her paw pads were scorched. But the firefighter took him home and now, he is helping them in fighting the fire.
3. Coconut
Starved and emaciated, Coconut needed a lot of love. And he got it. Now, he’s basking beside the swimming pool.
4. Augustus
Terribly scabbed, nobody would have looked at this dog. But after treatment, he’s a beauty.
5. Mange
This dog was suffering from mange and as a result, his skin looked broken and dirty. But with human treatment, he has recovered and now wants belly rubs all the time.
6. Pitbull
This Pitbull was tied outside a store. He had an eye infection and was suffering from serious mange. But now, he has recovered and looks completely different.

11. Kelsey
She had parasites all over her and was dirty. But a generous stranger took her home and now, she looks beautiful.
12. Back Home
The dog was starving. He just ate rocks and twigs to keep him full, even though they had no nutrients. Now, he was home and full.
