Rico Soegiarto was on his way home from work when he spotted a dog lying in the middle of the road in Denpasar, Bali. She was severely emaciated, had wounds all over her body, and was missing most of her hair.
She was a Siberian Husky, but she was in such bad shape that you couldn’t even tell. This poor pup was on the brink of death, but Rico took one look at her and knew he had to save her.
Rico already had four rescue dogs back at home, but he felt an instant connection with this pup. He decided to name her Hope, which was very fitting because her bright blue eyes showed a glimmer of hope, despite her awful condition.
Rico brought her home and Hope’s road to recovery began. Rico gave her many medicated baths to help her fur grow back, and fed her a lot of food to help her gain weight. Rico did an amazing job at nursing her back to health.
As time went on, Hope began to look more and more like a normal dog and it gave her the confidence to break out of her shell. As her hair started growing back, she became unrecognizable.
Ten months later, Hope’s transformation was complete and now she is such a beautiful, healthy Husky! Not only did Rico rescue and transform Hope, but he decided to adopt her!
Hope now lives with Rico and his family in Bali and is enjoying her second chance at life
Dog Who Spent His Entire Life On A Chain Finally Gets To Run Free
This Siberian Husky, named Biscuit, lived his entire life on a chain. That is, until now! Biscuit, along with eight other dogs, was rescued by Amy Hines, a staff member of Dogs Deserve Better.
She spotted them while she was visiting Kentucky, chained up on a property with no shelter. She knew she couldn’t leave them outside alone like that and wanted to do something about it as soon as possible.
Instead of just driving by like many other people might have, she stopped and saved one of them. But she didn’t stop there; she spoke with the owner until she rescued every single dog off the property!
Biscuit was then brought to their Good Newz Rehab Center in Virginia. In the video below, you can witness Biscuit taking his first-ever freedom run on a six-acre field. It’s absolutely amazing and so heartwarming!
Biscuit and his canine friends never deserved to be chained up for so long in the first place. No dog should ever have to live their life on a chain. They deserve to be treated as if they are part of the family… because they are! Thankfully these dogs will now be safe, free, and most importantly, loved!
