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...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
