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

Long-term hunger can lead to 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 tissues with you, as this story will have you in tears. Wesley White, a photographer, visited Belize for business.

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

He decided to paddle to a small island in Thatch Caye on the first day of the trip. When he first arrived on the island, he saw a starving dog entering an abandoned fishing house.

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 survive 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.

As soon as he arrived at the motel, he called for assistance. Fortunately, everyone stepped forward to help, 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 ready 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 friends.
