A Frightened Dog Battling a Severe Medical Condition Discovers the Joy of Love Again

There are thousands of puppies around the world that pass away every day due to the harsh conditions they’re exposed to. They’re left at the mercy of the streets, unable to find a forever home or even a shelter to hide in.

Mila’s Heartbreaking Beginning

Mila, a female street puppy, was abandoned on the street with no one to help her. She was in the advanced stages of anemia, and her legs could no longer carry her. She seemed like a lost cause until a kind-hearted man decided that today was not the day she would pass away.

A Hero Comes to the Rescue

Esdras Andrade, who has been rescuing street animals since he was thirteen, received a call about Mila. He immediately went to find her and decided to help.

At that point, Mila was extremely malnourished, sick, and anemic. To make things even worse, she was traumatized and scared of people, but didn’t have the strength to run away. She surrendered to Esdras, not knowing he would be the first gentle touch she’d ever feel.

The Long Road to Trust

Gaining Mila’s trust was a challenging process. Left in such a horrible condition, she had a long journey ahead to regain her faith in humanity. The first time she stepped into her safe house, she was extremely shy and didn’t show much personality. But one thing was clear – she was a sweet puppy craving love and kindness.

Esdras carefully removed her dirty coat and decided to give Mila her first bath.

Her First Bath

Surprisingly, she didn’t complain at all when he placed her in the tub and started bathing her. Quite the contrary – it seemed she felt relieved and relaxed for the first time in a long while.

“Mila is feeling much better. For the first time, she was bathed, and the shower gel made her skin so much softer and scented. The friendliness and gentleness are what we feel from Mila.”

A New Beginning

After just a week in a nurturing environment, Mila began to thrive. She wasn’t as scared as she was when Esdras first brought her in. She started eating better, moving around the house, and exploring her new surroundings with her sweet, enthusiastic nose.
