While we always say that a dog is a man’s best friend, ironically, not all humans can be the same to them.
Thousands to millions of neglected dogs are all around the globe. Most of them are physically abused, beaten, and worst, starved to death.

It’s totally unbelievable, to think that these poor creatures get maltreatment by those they trust the most – humans.
On the contrary, the number of kindhearted humans is still far greater than the number of cruel ones. This beautiful story of survival and transformation is living proof that second chances are for everyone, humans and animals alike.

Truth be told, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals met their untimely demise each year, while around 1 million animals suffered abuse or lost their lives due to domestic violence. Nevertheless, there were people like Michelle and Don, who selflessly fostered dogs in need, ensuring they embarked on the journey towards a deserving new life.
“At the shelter, I came across an extremely emaciated dog,” Michelle recounted to The Dodo. “I was overwhelmed with the feeling that we had to help her!”

When Khaleesi found solace under the care of Don and Michelle, they spared no effort in tending to her needs. They provided her with clean, adorable pajamas to sleep in and fed her small portions of food every 30 minutes.
“Adoption never crossed my mind,” Don confessed. “I simply made a commitment to nurture this dog back to health.”
And true to his words, that’s precisely what he did. Little did he know that he was unknowingly setting himself up for a “foster failure” – a term used when a foster parent falls in love with the dog and ends up adopting them.
