He is devoured by worms like trash, but a year later he is just another dog.

We are always surrounded by stories, some wonderful and others a bit sad.

And while successful rescues are among the best we can count, some also make us miserable because the puppies still have a long way to go to heal.

That is why when we are able to receive updates on the status of friends who have touched our hearts, we are filled with immense joy.

Do you remember the story of Oliviero ? The beautiful puppy was found by some tourists while walking in the city of Messina ?

The horrific discovery of these women still sends chills to this day.

Fortunately, the garbage bag that moved and the faint moan that could be heard from the bottom prompted them to get closer to check what it was.

What they found inside was absolutely shocking.

Someone had dumped a poor dog like garbage, tying its legs with electrical cables.

Who could be capable of such cruelty?

They threw him to the side of the road where he fell next to the carcass of a decomposing calf.

I can only imagine the horror of the scene, the bad smell, the worms that ate the puppy’s meat, the groans of pain…

These women were very clever, they immediately sought help, because they knew that they could not save the puppy alone.

This is how Linda Li, an animal rescue expert, entered the life of this puppy, after Emilia Lucchese had found him and asked the specialists for help for the puppy.

Without hesitation, she gave him water, because the poor thing was in a terrible state of dehydration.

She became an angel in the puppy’s life. She called him Oliviero and took him to his trusted vet.

The Dr. and his wife, a woman also committed to the rescue of abused animals, did everything possible to save his life.

They discovered something terrible, Oliviero’s hind legs were completely paralyzed.

The trauma that had affected the puppy had left sequels in his nervous system, he could not move his hind limbs.

At that time it was impossible to determine if the damage could be reversed. Despite this, they continued to give Oliviero their best care and attention. They gave him dewormer and special baths to remove the flea and tick infestation. They cleaned his wounds and removed the maggots that were eating him alive. They put serum to hydrate him and evaluated the neural damage.

With all that love and a lot of effort from Linda and her friends, they managed to save Oliviero.

Not only that, but they found him a loving home with a kind lady, Dominique Mastroianni and her family.

A year later Oliviero looks very different from how he was when they found him on the side of the road.

His body was completely healed and the nerve damage in his leg was able to heal.

He is a very lovable and playful puppy.Finally, he has found a home where he is loved and cherished.He has many small dogs that he forms his own pack family with the Mastroianni gentlemen.

His life has completely changed and it is all because a couple of strangers’ acts of kindness showed him a certain kind of kindness.

It’s all we lack in this world, enough for the good guys to stand up to do the right thing and the bad guys to be overwhelmed because there are more of us.

If you were inspired to witness this boy’s incredible recovery in the hands of a loving family, please share the story with the world. Let’s adopt!
