This made my day.
I know these first couple pictures are very difficult to look at...but please please please stay to the end. It's worth it I promise.
Look at Patricks widdle sweater.
You can really tell in this one that the happiness has finally been brought back to him and it makes my heart so happy.
The second the last one. Melts my heart. Told you it would get better. Sometimes I wish I could do something for other dogs and animals in his position. But being so young I don't have the money nor any way of being able to take care of the animals. Really sucks...I know alot of people out there are really trying to make a difference out there for these animals and that's radical (: just to be clear this isn't my dog, i saw this post on tumblr and just knew that many imgurians would love it ♡ hope I was able to make anybodies day a little bit better (:

I thought the first picture was of a mummy dog
missusmeeseeks
My god, I wanna give that little trooper all the scratches.

Holy fuck the first pic isn't a corpse in a museum

I thought he was dog jerky in the first picture.

First picture looks like one of them peat bog mummies, last one looks like a hella good boy.

Fuck, yes!

Animal abusers.... Yeah there's a special place for you in hell.

I'm so happy this doesn't ends with a gofundme link. Have my upvote, OP

Wow. Great job. Glad people like you are out there.

They respect you more knowing you saved them from certain death

This is the type of progress pics I want to see.

Id just like to add, this animal was starved, but also realize, if this one is still alive, when your dog is 8x bigger, its just as (1)
BurnerAccount626
cruel. Please dont overfeed your animals. Obese dogs, like obese humans, suffer severe health complications due to overfeeding.
Anna00Nukem
This! Yes! Wish I had control over where comments went hhaha, If I could I'd make yours top comment
BurnerAccount626
lol, I just care about the animals is all. Too many dogs have obesity issues.

I thought it was a large roasted dog, so i was only slightly more correct than you.

That did not look like a pit bull, totally surprised.
Tomelino
At first I thought it was goofy and not a pit bull ...
Anna00Nukem
Me too! I kind of doubted it for a second but then looked back at the previous pictures and sure enough it's the same beautiful doggo (:

I could tell. I'm not sure if pit bull stories make it to the headlines more, or if pits are just more often mistreated like this. Sad.
memelordnito
Stupid people with too little money to pay for food gets a "big ol' pitbull" to guard what liyt
memelordnito
to guard what little filthy home they have. Fuck mobile imgur and fuck my phone.

More often mistreated is my bet.

You have time! I didn't have money or a house to offer either, but you have time! Go to your local shelter and ask what you can do.

Whoever left him in this state in the first place deserves to be shot. Thanks for sharing his progress, that 2nd last photo brought a tear
hexachordalcombinatoriality
Coulda sworn I was home alone, so who's cutting onions???
alphaastorm
You can do so much without needing to spend any money just your time. Shelters always welcome volunteers to help with animals, such as 1/2
alphaastorm
Walking them or cleaning and especially helping at adoption events! 2/2
Rikkom
Was really hoping for a picture of whoever starved him like that getting the shit beat out of them. Still, so glad he recovered!

Just probation and a fine? How about eye for an eye or get her ass behind bars?
Rikkom
Well then, hopefully she sticks to her word and doesn't do that shit again
saltednutlog
Good on you @OP, but we didn't need a picture of him taking a dump.

Imgur loves dumps...

Pooping means he is eating plus that side eye look is awesome

I get what your saying but that poop was a big deal. If I remember correctly, it was his first poo while being able to standing on his own.

I really thought the first picture was of a corpse i also scrolled next. He's Lucky to have been found and treated well! Amazing thing OP
NogoLeco
I thought it was a stuffed animal, like a taxidermist work
isayeverythingisWITCHCRAFT
So it's a good thing you didn't post these in reverse as that would have been bad sad angrifying

Couldn't even recognize the bread at the beginning! Well done to all involved and keep up the good work

That wasn't bread though, it was a dog. A pibble no less.

Grrr, thanks for that.

I'm sorry, but that joke demanded to be made.

Seriously. They didn't get a vet to save that dog, they got a necromancer.

Good guy necromancer gives pets a second chance.

See? You can totally play as a lawful good necromancer!
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
in 2nd ed D&D healing spells were considered necromancy, only after 3rd ed did necromancy become all evil, healing became conjuration.

I want to play as an immortal necromancer lich who looks and talks like Skeletor but is actually a really nice guy.

Hes faced more adversity than most of us. We could learn from this good boy!
LemmiwinksKingofGerbils
So amazingly resilient
Anna00Nukem
Ahh yes we could, such a sweet and loving good boy with alot of heart hope (:
ferret100
It would make my heart so happy to get my hands on the filth that abused him so badly...
thedeedsmaster
Was it abused? I just assumed that the dog was homeless
CNNBRFIINF
IIRC owner kept him tied to railing. Starved. Then dumped him down garbage chute. Waste mgmt found him when they noticed a bag moving :-(
Momomo08
I thought so too, but someone posted the link to the story down there on the comments and he was indeed abused. :/// Swear some people...
TheRealOmegaNine
How can people afford all this shit? I took my dog to the vet for an ear infection and they charged me 600 dollars.
DemoB0y
Some people watch prime time TV and do nothing with their lives.
anitaClickBeast
Tell me about it. I tried to take my cat to the vet and they wouldn't give us an estimate and offered no payment plan, so we had to leave.

do you have pet health insurance?
Noooooooooooooope
The will to give everything you have for them. Everything is meaningless without them so you give them everything you have.
FluffyPuddles
Always call around to local shelters for tips on how to find low cost vet clinics. Ours is the humane society $20 + treatments&meds
FluffyPuddles
They completely healed my dog's ear hemotoma for the same price as my vet's appt fee.
scottishwhisky
I worked for a vet that rescued strays for free. If you adopted one, you paid shots and spy/neuter, that's it.
TorontoJones
Work from rescues and nonprofits, donations... and probably most of what he needed was food and time. We fostered a dachshund like him.
Vegansaremadeoutofmeat
My dog was at the vet for 36 hours, infection,got medicine,x-rays and lot more. Picked her up with a 65 euro bill. Welcome to Estonia.
bob3rt
You're telling me. My husky needed surgery on his front legs. 4000 each. Needless to say that I'm pretty broke now, but he's happy.
Canisiel
Suddenly I dont want a pet dog anymore...
redbaronshotsauce
Any pet. Just doled out 4k for my ferret bladder stones so :/ am in college rn
LeiserGeist
You may be broke, but you're a broke good person
Mekanismen
$600?! How bad was it? We just did a full exam, vaccinations and ear infection for like $130.
Mismin
As a vet clinic employee, people usually fail to mention the 100s of dollars of blood/urine work that's included in that $600.
thebiggestblackestdick
Vet bills vary wildly depending on where you live. Generally the less rural the bigger the bill.
Mekanismen
I live in Los Feliz (Los Angeles), about as non-rural as it gets.
thebiggestblackestdick
That's because a lot of people want to live in LA, so there is more business competition when it comes to certain things
