Miraculous Recovery of a Stray Dog Who Had Almost Turned To “Stone”
This sick and starving stray dog was brought back from the brink of death thanks to the good work of these kind rescuers.
A stray dog was seen wandering alone on a roadside in Udaipur, a city in northwest India, in an appalling condition. All her hair had fallen out, and her skin, which was covered with mange, felt like “stone.” Her life was hanging by a thread until she was rescued by Animal Aid Unlimited. The team named her Mabel.
