Starving Dog Is Thankful To His Owner For Saving Him From Death On A Remote Island

by Maryjane

Each stage of physical degeneration in starving dogs is accompanied by a variety of painful symptoms. Body fat loss happens first, followed by muscular wasting and atrophy, and finally, organ failure.

Long-term hunger can cause liver deterioration, heart abnormalities, anemia, and skin problems. Without adequate shelter, animals are also susceptible to dying from excessive cold or heat.

We frequently discover some animals—often chained dogs—literally frozen to the ground or dead from heat prostration due to a lack of adequate shelter from the elements during exceptionally cold or hot spells. But today's story takes place on a secluded island where a man finds a malnourished dog alone and saves it.

Get some tissue with you since this story will have you in tears. Wesley White, a photographer, visited Belize for business.

He was, therefore, eager to explore and take pictures of this stunning island. He was looking forward to a nice trip with very little leisure time.

He made the decision to paddle to a little island in Thatch Caye on the first day of the trip. He saw a starving dog entering an abandoned fishing house when he first arrived on the island.

Although the poor puppy was barely alive, he was friendly. “Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his tail wagging,” Wesley recalls.

There was no one fishing, despite Wesley's calls for assistance. He had to save the dog quickly because he didn't think it would live even one more day.

He then loaded the dog onto the boat and returned to the motel. The dog was going to starve to death if he didn't take action to help him.

He made a call for assistance as soon as he got to the motel. Fortunately, everyone stepped forward to assist, feed the dog, and transport him to the veterinarian.

Wesley was only able to spend a brief time with the puppy because he had to leave Belize in just 36 hours. The veterinarian informed Wesley while still in contact with him that the dog was healing and was prepared to be placed in a foster home.

The dog might have taken a flight to Dallas after spending two months in the foster home to be reunited with Wesley. Winston, the dog's new name, is now content in Wesley's house with his owner and pals.

Here is the video below:

Now that you've watched the touching video to see how Wesley and the hungry dog ended up meeting after a long journey, what are your thoughts about it? Did you enjoy reading the story as much as we did?
