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...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore.  We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist.  Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change.   I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...
