    We rescued this dog on Sunday. He’s in a bad way but we believe we can change his entire life. It’s been a very challenging 48 hours but we can already see progress (1/7) 🧵

    While it looks like burns it is actually just very bad skin infections. I cannot explain just how much pain he is in. (2/7)

  3. #3

    I decided to call him George Clooney because he is looking incredibly rough right now but one day soon he will look like an A List celebrity movie star (3/7)

    I share the nice before and after videos but what you often don’t see is the stress the dogs and the medical team have to go through. The poor boy is terrified and in pain. Treating him is not easy at all (4/7)

    He is in our hospital and has a lot of pain relief, injections, creams and all sorts of medicines. The good news is he is eating well. (5/7)

    The vets are happy with his early progress. They think it will take weeks though to fully heal. My job is to just get him used to human touch as gently as possible so he is more comfortable and easier for people to treat him (6/7)

    It’s going to take a lot of patience and care but I whispered to him that we’ll have him look and feeling amazing in no time today. Come on George. We love you ❤️ (7/7)
