Dog Starving in the Streets of Mexico Finds Love, a New Life and a New Home (VIDEO)

Luna the dog was discovered living in the backyard of a neighborhood in Mexico. She was severely emaciated and looked like a walking skeleton. Her photo was captured as part of a campaign by CANDi International that was aimed at documenting the dogs living on the street in the neighborhood. Her ghostly figure immediately caught the attention of photographer Tracey Buyce, and she knew she had to rescue this poor dog. It was discovered that Luna had a guardian, but Buyce was able to convince them to surrender Luna into her care.

After being examined by an emergency vet, it was determined that Luna had cancer and was extremely malnourished. However, despite this bleak prognosis, Luna and Bryce refused to give up. Luna was put on chemotherapy and a diet regimen. With a lot of love and patience, she started to recover. CANDi posted Luna’s photo on Facebook, and within 15 minutes, a family in New York agreed to adopt her!

The story of this special dog is a fairy tale, to say the least. Watching this pup go from a neglected skeleton to a beloved family member is sure to make you smile! Good luck in your new life, Luna!
