They Found A Severely Emaciated Stray Dog Wandering The Street. Then They Saw THIS On This Body

The transformation of this young dog, Boby, is something that you’re probably going to want to see. Back in February of 2015 Boby was found wandering about the streets in Hermosillo, a town in Mexico.

Boby was malnourished, as too many stray dogs are, but even worse, his entire body was covered in massive cancerous tumors.


Cortesía-Dalia Gámez is the animal rescuer who picked up Boby. She posted images of the poor dog on her social media accounts. Dalia then brought Boby to a veterinary clinic so that he could get a proper examination.

Despite the roughness of his appearance, Boby’s prognosis was surprisingly positive. It turned out that Boby was actually very young, just barely 2 years old, and that youth would more than likely offer him the strength that he would need to pull through his current condition.

The vets are the clinic started Boby on chemotherapy almost right away. It was two months before Boby started showing any real signs of improvement, but all that time Dalia stayed right with him.

She made sure he got plenty of food, exercise, and love, and because of that Boby started gaining back some of his lost weight, even while he was undergoing chemo!

The treatment was intense for Boby, but his body responded magnificently, and now he looks like an entirely different dog.

There’s no sign of the tumors that once plagued his body, and Boby’s gotten back all sorts of energy that allows him to run and play and have a good time with everyone that he meets!

Like his new family, who’ve adopted him and couldn’t possibly love him more! Incredible!

Share away, people!

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Stop holding the (2018) Yulin dog meat & lychee festival in Yulin, (Guangxi) China.

This "festival" is an event that starts on June 21st of every year during the summer solstice and it lasts for 10 long horrifying days in which 10,000–15,000 dogs (as well as cats) are tortured and then consumed. However, it is estimated 25 million dogs are stolen, sold, bought, and eaten every year with the illegal dog and cat meat trade. A larger percentage of these dogs consist of pets stolen right from their loving families. The rest of the dogs are captured strays from the streets and some raised in dog farms. After these animals are stolen, bought, or captured they are then transported for days without any food or water, crammed in tiny cages together so tightly that they are unable to even move. At the yulin festival, throughout those days, these animals will be hung, burned, skinned, boiled, torched, dismembered, electrocuted and beaten...ALIVE..out in the streets for public view. But If that isn't bad enough, they intentionally torture these animals in f...

Dead Sea Turtle Washes Ashore With Horrifying Wake-Up Call For All Humans

Smokey the Bear told us we were responsible for preventing forest fires. Crime dog McGruff helped us take a bite out of crime. Woodsy the Owl told us to “Give a hoot, don’t pollute.” It’s that last one humans seem to have a big problem with. Where a wizened old owl’s advice has fallen short, however, the tragic image of a dead Kemps Ridley sea turtle with a beach chair stuck to its back may prove more compelling. An eye-opening illustration of the damage human pollution has done to our oceans, images of this tangled turtle have been sweeping across the internet, first posted by  Fort Morgan Share the Beach , a local chapter of the Alabama sea turtle protection nonprofit Share the Beach. The story these pictures tell is a dark one which, wildlife advocate or not, is hard to ignore. Source:  Facebook/Fort Morgan Share The Beach The turtle was dead when it washed up onto the shore. “There was a heavy string around the chair that wrapped around the turtle’s neck,”...
