Power Of Love: 21 Before And After Photos Of Pets That Got A Second Chance (April 12, 2022)

Hello, friends! We're back on schedule with another Power of Love segment brought to you by our fellow animal-lover Redditors. We do our best to shine a light on stories like these in order to inspire people to do good and be good, especially to your furry ones. The world is full of darkness and anger, and unfortunately, a lot of the time, animals are on the receiving end of this aggression. They're starved, tortured, beaten, and more.

That's why it's important we use our voices and our platforms (100 followers on Instagram is still a platform) to spread awareness and help out animals in need. If you ever witness animal abuse, please make sure to report it. And if you're the one harming animals - please go to therapy and give your pet to a deserving loving home. Because if there is anything to be taken away from this segment - it's how far a little love can go. Having said that, we now want to celebrate the animals that got a second chance and the humans that gave it to them.

6 weeks! That's amazing. Hats off to you, amazing human.
Besides Nugget healing and recovering physically, it looks like she's feeling much better emotionally, mentally, and maybe even spiritually? And just in 6 weeks. See, this is why we love this segment, gives us so much hope for the future.

"Soul Dog" we love that.
It looks like this guy had a tough past. The before photo speaks volumes. We can feel the sadness in his eyes and the fear of rejection. We're so glad this good boy found his forever home with his soul human. Our hearts are content. A tear was dropped. Maybe two.
