Neglected Dog’s Body Becomes Petrified, Robbing Her of Mobility and Bracing for an Untimely End.

 

A severely ill dog was discovered in a distressed state on a dirt road in Oropos, Greece. The dog had been neglected and malnourished for a long time and was suffering from a severe case of infectious mange, which had caused her skin to become scaly and hard like stone. The organization “Save A Greek Stray” gave the girl they rescued the name Petra, which is the Greek word for “stone”.

At the vet’s office, Petra’s advanced mange caught the attention of the caretakers who were worried about her condition. After conducting tests, they discovered that she was also suffering from leishmaniasis, Ehrlichia, and other health issues. Sadly, Petra had lost all hope and stopped trusting humans a long time ago. She only wished for her painful life to end.

After Petra’s story gained attention on social media, Valia Orfanidou, a dog rehab specialist, stepped in to assist Petra in recovering and regaining her strength. Valia recognized that more than medication, Petra required unwavering affection and attention from people. The video below documents Petra’s progress as she recovers and transforms into a beautiful, loving, and playful dog!
