Thankfully, there are organizations that go out of their way to help as many of these poor animals as they possibly can.

Animal Aid Unlimited certainly falls into that category, and one of the group’s recent rescue missions is nothing short of amazing.

The group became aware of a sick and very frightened dog that had taken up residence on the streets of India.

The dog was suffering from a severe case of mange, and it was so infected that it had lost all of its hair. It was truly a pitiful specimen!

Rescue workers would arrive and coax the pup out of hiding, and it was quite clear that she was in serious need of medical attention.

Her face was covered with painful scabs, but the rescuers were thankful to discover that they got to her before her mange had become too severe to treat.

As many animal lovers know, mange is not only painful but can also be deadly, so they knew they had to move fast.

The team immediately went to work:

A dedicated regimen of IV fluids, medication, and bathing was implemented and the poor stray immediately started to improve.

The dog, who they would name Pepper, was an outstanding patient, too!

It was as if she knew she was finally in the hands of folks that would love her and care for her no matter what. At long last, she had a chance to be happy.

And even though it took some time, Pepper ultimately made a miraculous recovery.

She now has a beautiful coat of fur, and she’s even made friends with some other rescue animals.

Just look at her frolic with other dogs; you can tell she wants to make as many friends as possible after her street misery.

Hats off to this amazing group for transforming the life of another helpless animal!

Pepper went from being one of the worst cases the rescue team had ever seen, to becoming a beautiful, playful, happy pup whose life is on the upswing.

This unbelievable tale of transformation will absolutely make your day:

The popular consensus is that it is actually necessary for them to lead a quality life.

A good coating of nice clean mud can provide sun protection for a pig with tender skin.

It can also help an itchy pig with parasite removal.

And in all cases, it can help with a pig’s temperature regulation.

Pigs can overheat really quickly and being coated with a nice cooling mud bath can keep their temps quite a bit lower.

However, as much as pigs love mud and water, they aren’t good swimmers.

This has led to the demise of many a pig that got a little too close to the edge of a deep pool when searching for mud.

One little pig in India found out the hard way that pigs and deep water don’t mix:

When he tumbled in, it almost cost him his life.

He struggled valiantly to keep his little head above water, but he was quickly getting exhausted.

Thank goodness some kind soul saw him floundering helplessly and they called for help.

Within fifteen minutes, Rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimited arrived, but they were afraid they were too late…

The piglet was giving up right before their eyes!

The piglet was too exhausted to offer any kind of help in his rescue, so they knew it was all up to them.

So, they lowered one of their men down into the well on a rope.

He swam over to the piglet and lifted it out of the water so it could breathe without struggling.

The other rescuers then pulled the man back up with the piglet firmly clasped in his arms.

They drove back to the sanctuary where the piglet was warmed up and given food, which he greatly appreciated!

He seemed to bounce back fairly quickly. Well, after all, pigs are fairly resilient animals.

Nobody knows how long the piglet had been floundering as he fought to stay alive. They assume it was well over an hour.

But, no matter how long he’d been in there, what was obvious was that he wouldn’t have lasted much longer.

Whether it’s a piglet, a puppy, or any animal in between, Animal Aid believes that they all deserve to live!

Animal Aid has worked hard to rescue thousands of animals in India and has given them a permanent home at their sanctuary.
