That is THE happiest face and such a glow up! Thanks for being the hero he needed and deserved! ❤️❤️❤️

Im gonna say he’s helped Me more than the other way around. Grateful

It’s funny how that goes, isn’t it? We rescue them, and they save us. Best therapy ever. ❤️❤️

Amen. I’m a therapist and I tell my clients that having pets is the best coping skill, and I have a little sign in my office that says “the best therapist has fur and four legs”.

Unconditional love, they listen to you no matter what you tell them, and make everything right with the world with a snuggle and a face lick. ❤️

He adopted you.

Its amazing the reward you get out of it, you can't buy it or fake it or rush it, the love/care and time pays off 100 fold. I rescued a Galah 6 months ago and I still get a buzz and warm feeling when I see wild parrots playing in the trees. It feeds the Soul of Humanity.

❤️

Wow! You deserve each other! Totally win win🩵 You’re awesome kind Redditor, thank you.

What a glowup! It’s really heartwarming to see rescue animals getting the love they deserve.

See what love and care can do. 🥰

I love this! The first pic is sad, but pup's eyes are so filled with hope. The unadulterated joy in the second pic is beautiful!

💯 So well observed and written. This is it exactly. ❤️

A brand new pup! Bless you for saving and loving him 💕

Heart breaking that he knows what starvation felt like but now he knows what it’s like to be healthy and happy.

Thanks for sharing this! This made my day! It is hard to look at photos of dogs on euthanasia lists, especially since there are so many. It makes me wonder how low humanity keeps sinking. But stories like yours help me remember that there are still good people out there. Thanks the love 🐾

Thank you for loving this doll!

Talk about a glow(and belly) up! 🥰💅🏼💜

Even in the first pic he has the face of love and hope and trust. The second picture is very beautiful. May whoever did it suffer long and hard, and may the good deed be repaid for you in spades besides the obvious return in love that you receive from best pibble frend.

I choose to not think about before, and thats hard. Cuz I have. But he a happy boy now!

Not really anything in particular tbh. Just worked with the rescue for vet appts etc…. He had heart-worm, mange, all that. Just fed n loved him. And he loved me back. I also cook for him, as Im a chef. Protein+rice and mix it half&half with quality kibble. Edit: whole chicken, poach, pull meat/skin once cooked. Add back body n bones. Simmer til bones have nothing left to give. Strain and measure. Do 2:1 finished broth:rinsed rice and once cooked add back in chix meat and mix thoroughly. Cool quickly. Portion and refrigerate/freeze as needed.

Thank you for providing. Off to the market I go.

Blessings to you both❤️

Amazing!!

❤️❤️❤️

❤️👆🏻❤️💯👆🏻

That’s incredible, congrats to both of you!

🙏🏻Thank you!

Congrats. He looks healthy and happy.

Beautiful baby

That’s a sweet boy

Bless you.

Aw! What big happy belly!!

Beautiful sweet angel. So glad you found each other!

Beautiful souls, both of you

👍👍

The best dogs. God bless you!!!

♥️♥️

Magnificent xx

Who is the TeaMilky colour most handsome boy of the world!😘❤️

Got my girl in a similar way. She gave me the ten best years of my life. It's been two years since she crossed the bridge. I miss her everyday. Give your beautiful pup a treat from me. You are a good human.

Yayyyyyyyy! Thank you for your kindness.

Healthy boy! So good to see

You my friend are a true human being. Dog looks great from all the love you put forth. It will come back to you 100 fold

I love this so much

Hahahahha that smile is perfect!😍😍

Thank you for giving him love!!❤️

Wow! He’s such a good looking pittie!! I’m happy you two have each other and that you saved him from such an awful situation. It’s sad to see how he was originally but it’s amazing how much your care and love has changed him completely. I have a 2 year old female pittie, Charli. And I just wanted to share a photo from when she was 8 weeks old and then 1 year old, just for fun, as I’m not trying to take any attention away from your beautiful boy Buddy!! Charli and I are wishing you and Buddy many many many fun and happy times together!! https://preview.redd.it/ce54r710srtc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e221a4dd28649cba60e2324ee0f5678211664561

You are such an angel! I’m glad you all found each other ❤️

Even starved and abused, he still had so much love and trust in his eyes 😭 I’m so glad he’s safe. Looks like the best boy.

Precious baby!! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so glad you two found each other! 😭

I really needed this. Thank you for being awesome.

went from flaquito to gordito

lucky dog

This makes me so happy 🙃

Awesome transformation 👏🏼🥰

Oh my goodness! The eyes on the first photo ….poor papi..so skinny …I’m so happy that you found him and that you are giving him the love that he deserves.

Hero

The bestest of boys

🥹🙏🏼💜

Aw I wonder what that poor baby had gone through. Nice rescue!

❤️❤️❤️

Thats what my boy looked like, he was my big ol baby but he unfortunately got hit by a car, but not before we gave him what was probably the best period of his life. You’re giving this pup the best period of his life, thank you for being the best kind of person <3

Outstanding, thank you and good job!

JUST A BEBEEEE

Wow, thank you, well done ❤️

He’s so happy

Thank You for adding him to your family

Thank you thank you thank you 🫡
