It is amazing how one phone call can change everything for a pup that everyone else just gave up on. Dolly Parton is a senior dog who was left behind with almost nothing. She had tired legs, sore skin, and very little fur left. But then a stranger decided to step in and choose kindness. The team at @wearehappydoggo received a basket from a woman who had been looking after her.
At first, as we see in the video, they didn’t even know if it was a puppy or an abandoned senior dog inside. This charity is on a mission to fix the global street dog problem, and cases like this are exactly why they do it.
Senior dog gets a second chance at life in wholesome video
When they lift the blue towel in the video, the reality of her condition is pretty tough to see. She has sores, ticks, and fleas all over her back. She even yelps a little when they check her ears because she is so fragile. And her eyes just look dull. Like she has been scared for a long time.
But they get her into a car and start treatment immediately.
They give her a warm bath to wash away the dirt and the bugs. And they make sure she feels safe for the first time in years. The change happens way faster than anyone expected. The video shows us that it only took 24 hours for this abandoned senior dog to start looking different. She spends some time resting in a crate to get her strength back.
And then she goes outside. At first, she seems a bit frozen in the yard. But then she starts taking small steps toward the person filming. She is still a bit weak and has a slight limp. Then she starts showing a little spring in her step once she is on a leash with a team member.
The whole vibe of the dog changes. She lets the rescuers hold her face in their hands, and she just soaks up the attention. “There’s a little more strength in her step and a softness returning to her eyes,” the charity shared. She is actually wagging her tail. Over 27,000 people liked the post. They are calling her a sweet soul. One viewer even noted that she is a “doll” with a beautiful demeanor. She is going to sleep tonight knowing she is actually loved.
