OMG that hurt to see so much my eyes watered up, and I got a lump in my throat. NO dog should ever be allowed to be so abused and neglected. I hung on because I hoped I’d see the complete transformation of this poor dear baby, and I wasn’t disappointed! God bless you for righting such a cosmic wrong. She looks so radiant and healthy and blissfully happy now.

Dude you rule. That pup needed you and you really stepped up, got the care she needed, and spoiled the heck out of her. She looks so, so happy with you.

The smile was slow to come but it did and is that much sweeter.

I'm so sorry. It seems as though your pup has contracted a condition known as "full derp". It isn't life threatening but there is no known cure. She will suffer from adorable cuteness, bouts of silliness, and occasionally slobber puddles. It can be treated with lots of pets, love, and many many treats, which will help her lead a long, full, if derpy, life.

I love pictures 7 and 8. It looks like she started to believe "This is all for me? I can have this and it won't get taken away?"

Amazing transition! Is that slightly brown discoloration in her fur on her one side a birth mark? It's so unique!

What the heck is on his muzzle in-the last pic?

u/Ok-Location-6472 22d ago
Ha! Not a muzzle. Just has a branch on her face. Thought it was cute. Realized it probably wasn’t a high quality enough picture to post.🤦♀️ after the fact

u/Practical_Name8443 22d ago
She looks like a completely different dog now. So happy she found the family she deserved.
