This Dog Was Found Extremely Malnourished, A Few Months Later He’s Unrecognizable As He Recovers And Then Finds A Forever Home

ADVERTISEMENT

Without a doubt, one’s dog is certainly the best of friends that you can have. However, as we are continuously exposed to a lot of dog stories on social media, some of them tend to be rather sad, especially the ones revolving around homeless dogs. Thankfully, most of these stories do get a happy ending with the poor pups getting adopted after all of their struggles.

Today, we’d love to share with you the story of Coco who is a charming little dog who unfortunately fell into the hands of bad people.

    It is speculated that Coco was either terribly mistreated by the community or by his so-called “owners” who had just left him to starve

    Coco was terribly malnourished to the point where one could see his bones poking through the skin

    Coco’s body was extremely thin, it was evident that he hadn’t eaten in a long time as he fought to survive

    Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    Human nature. At its worst, monstrous; at its best, miraculous. I'm glad Coco has found love and kindness with his new family. He has finally come home.
