From Starved to Stunning: See the Amazing Transformation of this Emaciated Husky in Just 10 Months

Bali, a beautiful island with a stray dog problem, often sees street dogs wandering around towns and villages. While the government tries to control the issue to prevent rabies outbreaks, shelters and citizens step in to give these poor pups a better life. The Hindu faith, which is prevalent in Bali, has an important figure named Yudhishthira, who approached heaven with his dog. Many Hindus believe that caring for or adopting dogs can lead to heaven. Rico Soegiarto, a kind soul, found a husky on the street that had sore-ridden skin, was extremely malnourished and had bald spots. Despite her condition, Rico knew he had to give her a second chance at life. After nursing her back to health with grooming, pet visits, and good food, the husky was transformed into a strong, healthy dog with a thick, lustrous coat and bright blue eyes. Rico named her Hope, and she loves being petted and eating cookies. She is now safe with Rico, who has four other dogs and is a dedicated animal lover.
