Starving Great Dane Was Eating Stones To Survive Until A Family Showed Up.
Despite the fact that there are countless canines out there waiting for their better tomorrow, there are some stories that make you believe humanity isn’t dead. This is one of those stories…
When Angelo, a Great Dane puppy, was found on the streets of Giza, Egypt, he was practically a lost cause. This poor boy was severely malnourished and couldn’t stand on his paws any longer.
But, then the most amazing thing happened! A woman who voluntarily provides rescue to stray dogs stepped in to help. Still, Angelo’s case wasn’t an easy one, as he still needed serious medical intervention.
The reason why this Great Dane puppy was barely moving turned out to be the stones in his stomach. Unfortunately, Angelo was so malnourished and starving that he ate stones to stay alive.
His tummy was full of stones, which is why he couldn’t eat any more, nor could he poop when he was brought to the shelter. This was a life-threatening condition, and it required immediate surgery, but even then, the well-being of this Great Dane boy wasn’t guaranteed.
A woman named Hanan, from the Furever Rescue Foster organization, did everything to help Angelo survive. The surgical procedure was expensive and it required a serious recovery process afterwards, which is why she decided to seek help over social media.
Justin Finning, and his wife, Deborah, a couple from Wiltshire, Britain, saw the photo of this poor boy, and even though he was far away from their home, they moved mountains to help him.
This wasn’t the first Great Dane dog that Justin and Deborah decided to save.
This couple from Britain has over thirty years of experience in rescuing and fostering Great Danes with disabilities. When they heard about Angelo’s case, they immediately knew they wanted to take part in saving Angelo’s life.
But, the problem was – Angelo was in a different country. He couldn’t fly until surgery was performed. Together with Hanan, this couple started a fundraiser to collect the money needed for Angelo’s treatment.
Aside from the initial surgery, he needed physio and hydro treatment, alongside a specialized diet, which was extremely expensive.
Fortunately, the humane couple succeeded in this amazing mission and provided Angelo with the long-needed help.
Surgery went successfully, and now this boy needed some time to get back on his feet before flying to his furever home. When the day finally arrived, Hanan wrote on her Facebook:
“Finally Angelo went home and he is soo happy and enjoying his life. ustin Finning Deborah Noakes thank you both for sponsoring him and accepting him in your small paradise.”
Justin and Deborah were inclined to help Angelo fully recover. They regularly took him to his therapy sessions, and after a few months, this gorgeous boy finally reached his full potential.
He’s no longer a shy, reserved boy, but a loud, perky Dane who loves being in the center of attention. He runs, plays in his new, spacious back yard, and goes to a beach with his family!
However, the favorite part of his new life is definitely his new housemates. He lives in his Wiltshire home with three other dogs, and he enjoys life to the fullest. We wish him a long, happy life, full of love and new adventures. He sure deserves it!
