2 maanden vol liefde transformeerden deze arme hond in een geweldig blije puppy

Due to Greece’s financial issues, the country has a lot of stray dogs. Valia Orfanidou of Athens follows several animal rescue groups on Facebook in order to foster some of these pups. On any given day, Orfanidou sees so many pictures of needy dogs online that she's almost become desensitized.

But one day in November 2014 she was scrolling through her feed when a picture of a stray struck her to her core. He was cowering over, and so starved that his ribs were visible.

But after he was examined, the vet said he was fine.

“When he told me that, I honestly laughed. I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “And then I became impatient. I wanted to see him recover.”

She took him back to her home and gave him a quiet and cozy place to heal in a small bathroom.
