His life was filled with pain and hunger and hatred from people who called him a “monster”.

He just gave up on life, but then a miracle happened!

Merlin was a sick homeless dog when he was found wandering empty fields and roads hoping to find a bite of food…

His destiny was worse than death, as he was looked down upon by people for his diseased skin that made him appear as if a “monster”.

The kind strangers who rescued Merlin took him to the hospital, but his condition only worsened.

With infection with leishmaniasis, scabies and parasites, Merlin’s wounded skin would exude and he would cry in unbearable pain.

His hairless skin cracked further in many places, causing Merlin to lose all strength.

He did not stand alone and looked away whenever someone caressed him.

He acted like the saddest dog in the world, and rescuers wondered if there was any gratitude to cure him…

His skin gradually began to heal a little…

But the dog’s tortured heart was still closed. He acted like an empty shell on a cure, but then a miracle happened!

After Merlin’s gorgeous fur grew, rescuers introduced him to other rescue dogs in the shelter.

Befriending dogs who had been as unlucky as him changed his outlook completely!

Merlin now feels accepted by dogs and humans. He knows he had a soul-destroying past, but he believes all his difficulties will pass the moment he finds his family forever…

Hope shines in his eyes and he can face life again! We are sure that this gentle baby will be adopted soon!

Stay strong, Merlin!
