What would you do if you come across a poor pup that is in a desperate need of help and is looking at you with its tiny eyes begging you to step in and take it out of the misery.
We know what Andrea, a YouTuber who goes by the name Misus Yaya did when she stumbled upon Benji, a malnourished and a hairless dog with severe skin condition.
His fragile body was all covered in sores and it was painful to watch so she made sure he got a new lease of life.

Andrea quickly made an appointment with a veterinarian. However, once the doctor took a thorough look at Benji he suggested for him to be euthanized.
But Andrea couldn’t imagine doing something like that. Instead, she did her best for him to get the treatment he desperately needed.
This girl never though of giving up on the poor soul who didn’t know what it felt to be loved up until the moment his hero took him off the streets.

“I found this dog on the street and when I called the vet he just said the best option is putting it to sleep but he looked so much happier now compared to yesterday,” Andrea said in one of her videos. “I think he has hope to heal. I don’t want to put him to sleep.”

First Benji would need doctor-administered antibiotic injections and around the clock care.
Then it was time to get Benji cleaned up.
“He smelled so bad back then and taking a bath didn’t help to make him it go away,” Andrea said.

Andrea gave him a bath about once a week and rubbed Benji down with virgin coconut oil daily after hearing that it had antimicrobial and antifungal benefits.
“I was so amazed at how fast his skin healed,” Andrea said.
She also made sure that Benji got a healthy diet. He also got lots and lots of love. It wasn’t long before Benji’s personality and spirit started to change.

He began to act like a happy puppy again. He would wag his tail when he saw Andrea, run, and play.
He loved going on trips to the beach and getting to roll around in the sand.
It wasn’t long before his hair started growing back. Benji was now a scrappy and happy puppy. His hair grew back long and he became a soft teddy bear of a dog.

“His hair doesn’t stop growing,” Andrea said. “He keeps getting puffier and puffier every day!”
You wouldn’t believe that he is the same dog as Andrea found on the street.
“I hope Benji’s story will inspire others to do the same, be kind animals in need and adopt don’t shop,” Andrea said.
