Young Man Found Abandoned Starving Husky, and After 10 Months of Proper TLC, the Change Is Amazing

Rico Soegiarto found a husky wandering the streets of Denpasar in heartbreaking shape. The dog was so thin and weak that he could barely stand, and his coat was patchy, dirty, and covered in sores.

Rico took him in and gave him the care he clearly needed, from proper food and hygiene to regular vet visits. Over the next 10 months, the husky slowly transformed into a healthy dog with a full coat and a much brighter outlook.

Now he is playful, happy, and clearly devoted to the person who saved him.

Then the real recovery work began.

This is just like the stone-skinned pup rescued by a kind stranger, fading fast before TLC turned everything around.

The dog needed to gain some healthy weight.

That patience paid off in a big way.

He started to play with his savior.
