An abused dog, described by his rescuers as the "thinnest ever seen alive", is now looking for a family to adopt him.
Eric, a pitbull breed cross who has since been renamed 'Walter', was rescued by an inspector from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals from the yard of an empty home in Lancashire, in March of 2019. The abandoned dog was severely malnourished and covered in his own urine.
But now, with help and support from carers, Walter currently weighs a healthy 20kg after making a remarkable recovery and is looking for a new family to look after him.
Commenting on Walter's case, RSPCA spokesperson Inspector, Nina Small, said: "He's the thinnest dog I've ever seen alive. All of the bones in his body were visible, he was covered in urine and his nails were overgrown. His feces had pieces of glass and metal as big as a 50 pence piece in it, and bits of batteries."
She continued: "I believe poor Walter had been confined somewhere out of sight (perhaps a garage or a shed), eating whatever he's been able to get in his mouth. We're still investigating this case but are thrilled that he's now back to a healthy weight and full strength so that we can find him a wonderful new home."
She added: "Walter is a sweet-natured, friendly boy who loves life, people and food! He has a wonderful, energetic personality and lots of character. He loves taking long naps cuddled up next to you and is happy living in a home with cats and another dog."
Walter is described as excitable and playful around other dogs. He needs to socialise with other dogs, and would best in an adult-only home or a family with older children.
Anyone interested in adopting Walter should call the RSPCA on 01254 231 118.
More than 250 dogs found crammed into a single living room are now recovering well, according to the RSPCA. The animals, mostly poodle-cross breeds, were discovered earlier this year at an undisclosed UK property after their numbers spiralled due to difficult family circumstances.
A photo taken during the rescue showed dozens of shaggy-coated dogs squeezed into one space, sparking disbelief online. Some even questioned whether the image was real, forcing the RSPCA to confirm it was genuine and not AI-generated.
Despite the cramped and concerning conditions, the charity says the dogs have made remarkable progress since being removed from the property in January.
Dogs recovering and finding new homes
As reported by BBC News, Lee Hopgood, the RSPCA's operational superintendent for the North of England, said that "surprisingly... the dogs are fine and doing really, really well".
Many of the animals initially required treatment after being found with "matted and crusted coats". Of the dogs rescued, 87 were taken in by the RSPCA, while the rest were placed with Dogs Trust.
After receiving care and behavioural support, the turnaround has been significant. A Dogs Trust spokesperson confirmed that "many of the dogs have now been successfully rehomed and are enjoying life in their forever homes," while some remain in care, "including those who have given birth while with us".

Boone’s journey to a new life
One of the rescued dogs, Boone, has become a standout example of recovery. Adopted by former RSPCA inspectorate commissioner Dermot Murphy, Boone even appeared on BBC Breakfast.
Murphy explained that Boone arrived underweight with sore ears and eyes, and struggled with basic experiences. "He'd never been on a lead before, so when you put a lead on he locked his claws to the floor, he didn't know what that was".
Adjusting to normal life proved overwhelming at first, described as "a bit of a sensory overload", but Boone has since made huge strides. Now able to run freely and play, Murphy said: "It's just fantastic to see how he's come out of himself and become part of our family."
Rise in large-scale animal cases
The RSPCA says situations involving large numbers of animals at a single property are becoming more common, with cases rising by 70% in England and Wales since 2021. Factors may include mental health struggles, financial pressure, and poor breeding practices.
In this case, the charity confirmed it would not pursue prosecution due to the "extremely vulnerable nature" of the owners.
The dogs involved were all poodle-cross breeds, often called "doodles", which have surged in popularity in recent years. According to a 2025 Dogs Trust survey, they are now among the top three crossbreeds owned by dog owners.
The now-viral rescue image, described by the RSPCA as "shocking", offers a stark look at the scale of these incidents and the work involved in tackling them.
It's often said by canine experts that dogs cannot be alone for too long. Since the domesticated dog is descended from the wolf, they have a very strong pack mentality, which means they crave family groups and social dynamics. A dog without a family is a very unfortunate thing indeed, and sadly, there are lots of dogs out there who don't have one.
This week, one such dog has ended up inadvertently finding a happy ending, after being found by rescuers in the most tragic of circumstances.
The five-week-old pug, who has been dubbed Bobby, was found dumped in a plastic carrier bag, after a bystander heard him whining in a bush in Flower Hill, in County Meath in Ireland.
Bobby was taken in by workers at the Coolronan Dog Rescue shelter in nearby Ballivor, to wait on someone adopting him. However, the adorable little black dog's plight touched the heart of the owner of the rescue centre, Chris Kelly, who has now decided to adopt him himself.
Check out this video about a dog owner who wanted his dog back after another family adopted him:
Commenting on his new pet in a recent interview with The Mirror, Kelly stated: "He just became so attached to me and a decision was made over the weekend that I should keep him. He follows me everywhere, he is very attached to me and he is always very excited to see me. He is a great little fella."
He added: "He had to be wormed and he had a leg injury, but he is doing really, really well. I'm really happy he is OK and he is very much wanted. I'm rescuing dogs 13 years and I never have been attached like this. I just thought he should stay with me and we all agreed he was attached to me - why ruin that for him? He has already suffered enough."
Kelly, who has run the Coolronan Dog Rescue shelter with his partner Ramona Cunningham for 13 years, reported that he was shocked and disturbed by Bobby's situation.
Kelly stated: "People have no idea what is going on in this country with animals. Sanctuaries all across the country are overrun with unwanted dogs. Bobby is one of thousands."
He continued: "It turns my stomach. We have no laws that protect animals properly in this country. Microchipping is not being enforced and paperwork with dogs is just a disaster. It's either not accurate or truthful.
He added: "Microchipping and neutering needs to happen at an early age. There are too many dogs in Ireland. I have dogs that go to Sweden to be re-homed because we can't cater for all the unwanted dogs in this country ... It is disgusting what is going on in this country and no one is policing it. Pet owners who abuse or dump their dogs should face prison or huge fines. It is totally unacceptable. [sic]"
Kelly has managed to rehouse more than 150 dogs over the years, and although little Bobby now has a home, there are lots of other dogs at the shelter who need one just as badly. If you'd like to adopt one, then visit their official Facebook page for more details.
An unfortunate stray dog has ended up breaking the hearts of social media users, after allegedly going more than 900 days without being adopted.
The dog, which is currently being looked after by carers at the Destitute Animal Shelter in Bolton, in Lancashire, England, is an eight-year-old lurcher named Sam. Sam has been living at the shelter since 2017, and the staff really want someone to give him a loving home.
This week, the shelter uploaded several adorable pictures of the unlucky pooch to their official Facebook page, accompanied by the caption: "Sam is a great dog, he is fun and makes you laugh. He is playful and loving and can be quite lazy as well."
They added: "He will need to be the only pet in the home and kept on a lead when on a walk as he will chase small furies as he is a retired working dog and we know he is not good around small furies (cats, rabbits, small dogs etc.) He is obsessed with [teddy bears] and likes [to] rip them up to see what's inside. He is fine with children [sic]."
A number of Facebook users, stricken by Sam's plight, took to the comments to express their sympathy. One person wrote: "I hope someone takes him in soon, no dog should have to wait this long to find their forever home."
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: "He’s gorgeous if we were closer and didn’t have 3 already we’d be seriously considering adopting him." Another said: "I just saw this on Facebook in the USA and shared it for my friends in the UK. Praying he finds a forever home. He is such a cutie. ❤️ Please keep us posted on him."
Sam's original owner allegedly passed away in 2017, and there have been several attempts to rehouse him since then. But despite the fact that Sam is a friendly dog with a gentle nature, circumstances have sadly conspired to keep him from finding a family or an owner to love and care for him.
In more heartening news, this woman "married" her dog on live TV:
Lurchers are not a pure breed, and are typically a cross between a sighthound and a working dog breed, such as a Collie, or other kinds of sheepdog. The dogs often make excellent pets, although their temperament can vary depending on the character of their parents.
While stray dogs are a rarer sight in the United States, there are some countries in which it's fairly common to see them roam the streets without a home to call their own. When you are used to seeing them as pets, pampered at home and fawned over on walks, it can be quite a shock to see them scavenging for food in dark alleyways.
In India, there is a major issue with stray dogs at present, with the epidemic of street dogs causing problems for both humans and canines. Without the proper care and left in the wild, these dogs can end up suffering from all manner of diseases and ailments, including rabies. According to the World Health Organization, roughly 36% of the world's rabies deaths each year occur in India, mostly when children come into contact with infected dogs.
Thankfully, there are some people out there doing the good work to ensure that at least some of these strays find a home. Animal Aid Unlimited is a vital rescue centre for street animals in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, offering sanctuary and medical services for those that are ill or injured. Not only that - but they provide life-long care for the ones that need it.
Recently, workers from this charity saved a dog that was on the brink of death, ensuring that he can lead a much happier life. 'Jumper' was found outside in a plastic bag. Not only was he starving, but he could barely stand due to an extremely painful wound in his hip.
However, after the charity got a hold of him, he's doing a lot better - and after six weeks in their care, he looks like an entirely new dog.
"We got a call to rescue a very sick street puppy," the charity wrote in their post. "We found him hiding in a plastic bag, and the moment we touched the bag he screamed in pain."
"He was desperately hungry so we could coax him out with biscuits, but every time we tried to touch him he cried out. He had severe mange and a deep wound on his hip that was causing him the shooting pains every time he moved.
"This dear little boy was in so much pain and agitation, his worried eyes never relaxed for even a moment in the first several days after rescue."
While the video isn't easy to watch, it's worth it for the uplifting end:
The comments on the YouTube video echo the thoughts I'm sure we're all having about the people that made Jumper's recovery possible.
"The world needs more people like you," one wrote. "You guys are wonderful and amazing, I'm so happy for the dog that he survived," another added, while one user said: "Jumper is the cutest little thing. Thank you so much for saving this poor doggo... You are heros to all".
Now Jumper gets to live a happy life in a loving environment!
When the 'Hope For Paws' team got this call, they were shocked. The LA-based charity helps to rescue homeless dogs and find them new homes, but after hearing about a dog who had been living in a garbage dump for 10 months, they knew they had their work cut out...
[post_page_title]The Garbage Site[/post_page_title]
When the 'Hope For Paws' team arrived at the place, they knew it was the exact same description they had been given. Somewhere here there was a dog in need of help, hiding amongst the garbage...
[caption id="attachment_1689" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

Can you even spot the dog in the photo above? Because she is there, but this lovely dog was so poorly kept, covered in mange and mud, that you could barely recognize her as being a dog. The dog had been worn away and was extremely skinny for her breed, with no coat growing on her back to keep her warm on many parts of her body...
[post_page_title]Dog In The Trash[/post_page_title]
It was a pitiful sight to behold. The poor dog had been living in absolute garbage for ten months, probably after being abandoned by its owner.
[caption id="attachment_1691" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
The dog they had been searching for looked absolutely dreadful. It was as if it was no longer a dog, with hardly any fur growing on its skin, and a number of problems with its health. The dog was a female, so they decided to call her Miley. Miley was aware that there were a number of humans around her, but she just lay there, weak and not bothering to move.
[post_page_title]Furless Paws[/post_page_title]
As the Hope For Paws team got closer, they could see that her paws and her stomach were completely furless in some places. How had Miley managed to survive here for so long?
[caption id="attachment_1692" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
It was heart-breaking to know that this dog had been through such an ordeal and ended up living here. You could see from a distance that she had mange, but close up, it was even worse than they had initially believed. Miley needed medical treatment immediately - it was hard to tell what breed she was with all her fur gone.
[post_page_title]Bribing With Treats[/post_page_title]
It was hard trying to persuade any dog to leave their home with a bunch of human strangers, but for Miley, it was the worst thing possible. She didn't trust them, and even worse than that, she didn't have any desire to leave.
[caption id="attachment_1693" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

Miley had become self-sufficient, and although she was starving, she had no idea what life would be like with humans. Miley had been living in that dump for almost a year, and leaving it after having lived there alone for so long was a terrifying thought to her. One of the team tried to coax her over with some tasty dog treats. But would she take the bait?
[post_page_title]Miley Takes The Bait[/post_page_title]
With her stomach rumbling and recognizing that yes, it was definitely food, Miley nibbled at the food before wolfing it down.
[caption id="attachment_1695" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

Now they had gained Miley's trust, they decided to keep feeding her little bits of food before she changed her mind. It was vital to gain the dog's trust before just taking her away from her home because it would stop the dog from potentially getting scared and lashing out at one of the rescuers. The dogs have to feel that they are being cared for when they are rescued, and that will make it much easier to fit back into domestic life with human companions afterward.
[post_page_title]The Leash Comes Out[/post_page_title]
Dogs are a lot more obliging and will do as you wish if you have a dog lead on them, so it was vitally important that Miley felt comfortable with the team before they put a leash on her.
[caption id="attachment_1694" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
First, the team decided it was best to show Miley the dog lead before, so they put it next to her so she could see it, and they could also see how he would react to it. That would make it easier to put on her afterward if she felt more comfortable with a new object by her. She ate a couple more treats, then it was time to put the lead on...
[post_page_title]The Rescue Begins[/post_page_title]
Miley had laid down again on her bed of trash, and it was becoming difficult to get her to sit up. All she wanted to do was lie down and sleep. To be honest, she really needed the rest.
[caption id="attachment_1696" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
But Hope For Paws were determined to get her up and going, ready to pull her to safety and give her the medical attention she desperately needed. Now they had the leash on her, it was time to slowly convince Miley that she should come with them to safety. She was one of many dogs that have been rescued by the team on a regular basis.
[post_page_title]Not Budging At All[/post_page_title]
The moment the team gave a gentle tug on the leash, Miley was not happy. She recoiled with a slight aggression to her stance, that suggested she was not going with them.
[caption id="attachment_1697" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
It appeared that this dog needed a little more attention and coaxing than they had initially believed. How were they going to get Miley out of this hideous place if she didn't want to go with them? It was a difficulty that the team had to solve. They decided to wait a few minutes, and let her lie down with the lead still on her.
[post_page_title]The Sudden Change[/post_page_title]
As Miley lay back down, one of the volunteers gave her a little affection by stroking her on her forehead. Immediately, the positive attention and love she felt from that completely melted her fears.
[caption id="attachment_1698" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
This little act of compassion seemed to change Miley's mind. She warmed up to the rescuers, and almost became happy that they were there. The entire atmosphere of the rescue changed dramatically, from a difficult rescue mission with a dog that didn't want to leave, to a rescue mission where the only thing the dog desired was love and comfort from a human being.
[post_page_title]Leaving The Rubble[/post_page_title]
When one of the volunteers gave a gentle tug on the lead this time, she got up and walked with them, albeit very slowly. She was still very nervous about the entire situation.
[caption id="attachment_1699" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
You can see the piles of rubble and trash that she had been living in, covered with copious amounts of dust. This had been her living environment for ten months. How any dog could manage to survive somewhere like that is beyond me. Miley deserved better, but she was still scared of what was to come, and when the team drifted too far from the dump, suddenly, she did this...
[post_page_title]The Scared Stray[/post_page_title]
Scared to leave her home in the garbage, Miley began to pull away from her rescuers, who had worked so hard to try and get her into safety and out of the dump.
[caption id="attachment_1700" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
But how could she trust humans again? Most likely, Miley was an abandoned puppy who had had no love or affection from a human being ever. The last humans who had been her owners had probably abandoned her, and left her to be a homeless stray on the streets. The worst part of all was, they had probably left her in the trash.
[post_page_title]The Fast Joruney[/post_page_title]
They prayed she would continue walking with them until they got to the car. But what if she pulled away from them again? What should they do if that happened?
[caption id="attachment_1701" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
Luckily, she was scampering along now and was doing better. It was essential they got Miley as far away from the dump as possible in the quickest amount of time, so she wouldn't suddenly rethink her actions and want to go back, or cause a fuss. Who knows how long Miley had been homeless for? They knew she had been living in the dump for ten months, but what about before that?
[post_page_title]Getting Into The Car[/post_page_title]
The rescuers knew it would be too difficult to get her sitting in the backseat, so the moment she managed to get into the front, they let her stay there, where she would be safe and not scared of anything.
[caption id="attachment_1702" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
She stood below the chair, but after a minute or so, Miley jumped up onto the seat so she could get a comfy spot ready for the ride ahead. The Hope For Paws team were nervous at first to see whether Miley would be okay in the car, or whether being in a confined space in the vehicle would freak her out...
[post_page_title]Time To Travel[/post_page_title]
Before they knew it, Miley had curled up on the chair in the passenger seat of the car, and was already lying down, licking her sore paws clean.
[caption id="attachment_1703" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
The rescuers knew that they had to immediately take her to the vets, and get her medical attention as soon as possible, so they did just that and rushed in the car over to the nearest veterinary clinic. But it was taking a while to get there, and Miley began to get tired. She had had an exhausting day, searching amongst the rubble for food, and her encounter with humans had caused her so much fright at first...
[post_page_title]At The Vets[/post_page_title]
With a bit of a cuddle and scratch beneath the ears, she certainly felt this love and attention from the humans who had rescued her was genuine, and it wasn't long before she shut her eyes.
[caption id="attachment_1704" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
it wasn't long until they arrived at the medical center for Miley, but she looked o weak already, it was hard to know whether she would survive all of her injuries and sicknesses or not. If she was too sick, the vets would have to put her down. It was all down to the inspection she would receive from one of the vets on service.
[post_page_title]The Vet's Verdict[/post_page_title]
Luckily, the nurse on duty that evening was a lovely lady who treated Miley very carefully and patiently, aware that she had been a homeless dog that was hoping to get adopted.
[caption id="attachment_1705" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
Miley had a number of problems with her health, but the nurse thought that she could survive, if they give her the right treatment immediately and let her rest for a couple of weeks. it was worth a try, and as the nurse inspected Miley, the little dog winced in pain, but allowed the nurse to tend to her wounds.
[post_page_title]Heartbreaking Sickness[/post_page_title]
Miley had a range of diseases, including an infestation of fleas and parasites all over her body, mange that pulled at her skin, making it tender and sore, as well as bacterial infections in her body.
[caption id="attachment_1706" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
No wonder Miley was so weak, she had not only suffered with all of these terrible illnesses, but she was also suffering with malnutrition, because she hadn't had a proper meal in years. It was a heart-breaking sight to see, but the vets were certain that she could get better. The rescuers and the vets both had belief in Miley, and wished that she would heal soon.
[post_page_title]Miley's Treatment[/post_page_title]
The vets decided that Miley would need to bathe herself in medicated baths that would help to clean up her wounds as well as get rid of the parasites.
[caption id="attachment_1707" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
This wasn't going to be a quick fix for Miley, and the medication for her wounds stung when they applied cream on them, as well as the ointment that had been put in her baths. She looked smaller than ever. And now they had discovered what breed she was meant to be... Miley was a white Siberian Husky.
[post_page_title]Starting From The Bottom[/post_page_title]
Miley was finally starting to get back on track, but with all things like that, you have to start somewhere. Miley had sadly had to go back to being rock bottom to be able to heal.
[caption id="attachment_1708" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
The only parts of her fur that remained had to be removed so that the vets could try and tend to all of her wounds, as well as get rid of the mange and the unkept pieces of hair that had knotted themselves together. Miley's whole body was sore, but the only part of her body she could lick was her tail, to try and make herself feel better...
[post_page_title]Miley's Misery[/post_page_title]
She was completely deflated, with a number of bandages and her paws and face pink from her red raw skin. It was one of the most heartbreaking things ever.
[caption id="attachment_1709" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
There is absolutely no denying that Miley was totally shut down by this, and she was not happy about feeling and being so down in the dumps. But soon, her recovery period would begin, and hopefully, she would start to love and trust humans again. This poor dog had been through so much, it was time for her to have a better life. "It's not just the physical healing it's the mental healing," one volunteer said.
[post_page_title]Resting Space[/post_page_title]
With her bandaged legs stretched out in front of her, the poor stray Miley soon fell fast asleep. It had been a really tough time for Miley, and the team were keen to visit her to check up on her recovery.
[caption id="attachment_1710" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
A week or so later, the team went to visit Miley, and a lot of her fur had begun to grow back. She seemed more perky, and happier, being a healthier dog that was now being cared for. Her recovery period had already began, and Miley felt reassured that she was in the right place. She hadn't slept so well in months! Miley slept for three days straight at the shelter.
[post_page_title]Thankful Kisses[/post_page_title]
Miley was beginning to trust again and to say thank you to the one volunteer who had convinced her to leave the dump with them, she gave him something beautiful.
[caption id="attachment_1711" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
Miley gave the rescue man a little kiss on the cheek, with a little lick of her tongue. It was the first sign of love and acceptance that Miley had given out since they had met her, and it was the most rewarding thing for the rescue team to see. Miley was thankful that she had been rescued and understood that these humans had really saved her. But the story wasn't over...
[post_page_title]Frankie's Story[/post_page_title]
Another dog was introduced into the dog shelter, a tiny little dog called Frankie. Frankie had the most heartbreaking rescue of them all. He was living in the underground piping underneath a highway when he was found.
[caption id="attachment_1712" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
The drain Frankie lived in was pitch black, and Frankie was a very traumatized and terrified little dog. He was scared of absolutely everything, and couldn't shake off his fears. But then, Frankie was introduced to Miley. Immediately, they became close companions and begun to take care of each other. Miley really took him under her wing. For the first time in her life, Miley had made a friend.
[post_page_title]The Pipes[/post_page_title]
This is the tunnel where Frankie had been living. If you can see, Frankie had almost made a nest out of trash in the huge pipe and was terrified and a little aggressive when the rescuers came to get him at first.
[caption id="attachment_1713" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
Credit: YouTube / Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel[/caption]
The volunteer explained that "He had been there for a long time, and so his emotional recovery is harder." So when Frankie was introduced to Miley, it was a very special moment to witness: "These two creatures just bonded and became very good friends. Frankie was licking her wounds, so beautiful especially because he was so shut down himself when I held that camera in that room that day, I knew I captured the most amazing moment there."
[post_page_title]Best Friends[/post_page_title]
These two dogs absolutely adored each other. Frankie would even lick Miley's wounds clean, and Miley would try to cuddle up to Frankie, with her big paws.
[caption id="attachment_1714" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

It was such an extraordinary tale that both of these dogs who had once been scared of everything had built up such an incredible friendship with one another. They cuddled together, they played together, and most of all, they looked after each other. Miley and Frankie became the best of friends, it was clear to see.
[post_page_title]Cuddles All-Around[/post_page_title]
Miley would help Frankie jump down from big steps because he was so small. Despite their differences in size, both dogs absolutely loved each other.
[caption id="attachment_1715" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

Frankie would jump all over Miley, and both of them would give each other little kisses. It was a beautiful friendship. But soon, after both of them had been treated, it was time for them to go up for adoption in the shelter. They would be separated, but nobody would forget the special bond they had together...
[post_page_title]Healthy And Happy[/post_page_title]
Miley absolutely loved her new home, but when she saw the man who had saved her all those months ago, and completely transformed her life, she was over the moon.
[caption id="attachment_1716" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

But the most incredible part of the whole story was how healthy Miley was compared to when the rescue team at Hope For Paws had first found her! She was a beautiful white husky, with an entire coat full of fur, as beautiful and as white as snow. Miley truly was a gorgeous dog. She had a lovely owner who treated her like royalty, and Miley was happier than ever.
[post_page_title]The Happy Ending[/post_page_title]
Both the rescue man from Hope For Paws and Miley found it so rewarding to be reunited with each other once again. When you rescue a dog like that, they never forget you.
[caption id="attachment_1717" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

It was a special bond between the man and Miley that would last a lifetime. Miley would be forever grateful for how he changed her life, and he was delighted to see how Miley had progressed and come along so far in just a year after finding her covered in mange living in a dump. Here's to many more dogs being rescued and given a good home!
