A rescued puppy was completely transformed thanks to the love she received from those who helped her. She was rescued just in time to change her sad fate.

The world needs real heroes, real people willing to make a difference and perform great deeds of love that end up changing the lives of the most vulnerable furry ones.

Fortunately, there are many people who continue to believe that love is all the answers, the main way to transform lives and give second chances.

This is how Mikita, the sweet protagonist of this case, went from being a lump of skin and bones, to a fluffy and soft ball of fur.

At the time she was rescued, she was on the verge of death, malnourished and covered with mange.

Mikita was living as a stray on a reservation in South Dakota when a Lightshine Canine volunteer saw her and decided to rescue her, she was completely malnourished and her skin was exposed. Her condition was so critical that her rescuer couldn’t tell if she was of any breed.

Only a short time later, the dog was transferred to Happy Tails Rescue who took her in and began treating her for mange.

The dog’s transformation was slow but with the best results.

It was a long process, but she was in the best hands, little by little she began to grow gray and white fur that gradually covered her body. It was then that they realized that she was a husky.

Fortunately, Mikita did not take long to find a family, Jessi Sova heard about her story through Facebook and without thinking about it she approached the shelter with her son so she could adopt her.

“She was so tiny and just the sweetest little thing. My son had come with me to meet her and we both fell in love.” Sova said.

In her new home Mikita culminated her treatment to improve her coat but faced a new challenge. Sova realized that something was wrong with Mikita’s back, simple activities such as playing and sleeping caused her a lot of pain. About this Sova commented:

“It was like having a baby at home. She would wake me up several times a night and I would have to figure out what (if anything) she needed.

One night, I woke up to his barking, he couldn’t stand on his hind legs. A friend took us to the emergency vet.”

After two days of complex tests she was diagnosed with disc spondylitis, a degenerative, non-inflammatory disease of the spine. It was necessary for her to take antibiotics to ease her pain.

Despite her difficult past, this adorable ball of fur was still proving she was quite the warrior .

“It took her a long time to build up her strength and endurance, her back doesn’t bend much, but she does very well. I swear her fur gets longer and longer. I don’t think we’ve reached the maximum yet.” Sova said.

Amazingly, the treatment yielded the best results. Her transformation reminds us that with love anything is possible. Today Sova can’t imagine his life without her, he just wants to make sure she is well and show her how much he loves her.

“I can’t imagine life without her. She is so silly and interesting. Watching her heal and grow, I’m not sure I have the words to express how it feels.

Sometimes it’s bittersweet because I think about her condition when she was rescued, but I also think about how lucky I am to have such a sweet baby.”

Mikita made an incredible transformation thanks to the love and care of her mother and all her rescuers. Today she is a happy and strong dog who is enjoying this new opportunity.

Let’s never underestimate the power of love, that which without rare posture transforms and saves a life. How nice it would be if we all encouraged to make gestures of mercy to those little furry angels who suffer in silence and ignored.
