Power Of Love: 38 Before And After Photos Of Doggos That Were Loved Back To Health (May 6, 2022)

Greetings, pup heads! Friday is finally here and you know what that means; it's time for our beloved power of love segment, this time solely for doggos. Animal abuse is something we will never understand. We just can't fathom how people could be so evil and cruel. How could one abandon their beloved furry friend? That's something we'll never be able to understand.

Thankfully, the world is full of caring humans that balance out the heartless ones. They're the ones who adopt, rescue and volunteer to help furry friends in need. We celebrate these individuals because we believe all of us have something to learn from them. All of us can be a little bit nicer, a little bit more compassionate and understanding. We know that taking in a pet from the street isn't always a reality, but it doesn't have to stop at just that. You can help feed them, provide professional help via vet, and/or volunteer at shelters. The possibilities are endless. But the most priceless thing you can do for them is love them.

Now that's what we like to see. From a beaten-down abandoned puppy to a healthy, thriving, and happy doggo. A true glow up highlighting the message of this segment; there's absolutely nothing a little bit (or a lot) of love can't fix. We're so glad this beautiful pup got the ending they deserved!

Ellie's Transformation

via u/leezardmik

Ellie had a pretty rough life where she was constantly being tossed from one shelter to another. She was adopted into a loving family but after 7 years of living there, her owner passed away. She was then adopted by OP where she now lives with two other senior German Shepherds.
