Sickly Homeless Dog Was Called A Monster & Stoned Whenever He Begged For Help

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Louie the homeless dog had only known a life of neglect and deprivation. The sad pup was living on the streets of a North Macedonian village, and had developed severe mange and infections that made his skin blotchy and hairless.

Due to his sickly appearance, the skeletal Louie was often beaten by the villagers. Whenever Louie was in pain and begged for help, the villagers would stone him and shoo him away for being a “monster that spreads disease”.

Thankfully, Saving Macedonian Strays (SMS) heard about Louie’s condition and brought him to their shelter. But by now, Louie had become very weak and had very little fight left in him. However, the volunteers helped him pick up the pieces of his crushed soul and find the will to stay alive.

After months of medication and care, Louie started getting better bit by bit. Today, his beautiful fur has grown back as shiny and healthy as before. This gorgeous boy is completely unrecognizable after recovery! All that he needs now is a forever home to call his own. Let’s get the word out and help him get adopted.

Update: The shelter has updated that Louie has been adopted by a family in the UK. The gentle giant has left the scars of his miserable past behind and embraced his new family with a loving heart. What a happy ending! Let’s share Louie’s story to show why every dog deserves a fair chance to live!

Lucky Elderly Man Is Greeted Every Day By A “Friend” Who Crawls Out Of The Ice:

We’ve all seen some unique and unlikely friendships over the years, but this one here may take the cake!

One day, a starving otter appeared at an elderly man’s door wanting some food. Ever since, Seppo Laamanen, 65, and Iivari the otter have been inseparable best friends.

It all started when Seppo fed worms and fish to the small and malnourished otter who was clearly looking for food.

After that, the friendly animal repaid the kindness by visiting the man at his home in Punkaharju in easter Finland. This was the start of something special.

There’s no way Seppo could’ve ever imagined it’d all lead to this. This adorably unique friendship is one for the ages, and it’s something you have to see to believe.

There’s nothing like the bond between two friends regardless of the species! 🙂

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet

Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.

While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.

These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.

1) Akita

When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.

2) Boxer

This working dog is smart, full of energy, and oh so loyal to their family. They get along great with kids and have an innate instinct to protect their pack. He’s a watchdog with a heart of gold who oozes dedication to his owner.

3) Skye Terrier

Known as the “small dog with the big ears,” this adorable breed hails from the Scottish Isle of Skye, hence the name. Whether you live in the city or the country, this small dog with a big personality is steadfast in snuggling, playtime, and remaining loyal to his owners.

4) Beagle

This merry hound is friendly, curious and incredibly loyal. While he doesn’t mind the occasional couch potato time, this spunky pooch is energetic and merry. A fun fact about this hound: the breed standard is for 13 inches and under and another in the 13-15 inch category. No matter how you size him, these adorable dogs just want to cling to you.

5) Shar-Pei

This wrinkly non-sporting breed is standoffish to strangers but very loyal to his owner. His ancient Chinese roots are part of the charm of the Shar-Pei. Regal, strong, and smart, if you want a BFF for life, this loose-skinned pooch may be the right choice for you.
