Helping those who can’t help themselves is an incredible calling. Annie Hart is well known dog lover and the executive director of The Bill Foundation. She makes it her life goal to rescue animals that suffer abuse or neglect and to find homes for the pitiful animals that are left to die on the streets. Her YouTube channel is full of heartwarming animal rescues, but none so touching as the incredible rescue she just pulled off in December of last year.
The dog she found was in such bad shape, it was clear he had been on the streets a long time. She named him Gideon… then saved his life.
Gideon was found with deep lacerations around his neck.
He was emaciated and it seemed that he had been living on the streets for a long time.
It was clear that he was extremely sick. Annie believe he is one of the sickest dogs she ever rescued.
It’s uncertain whether or not Gideon’s former owners were physically abusive, but Annie thought it was obvious that he suffered neglect and deep emotional abuse.
Even though the dog knew he needed help and was terribly ill, he had a hard time trusting his rescuers.
He was literally trembling with fear at the sight of people.
After driving three hours to a vet clinic, Annie discovered that the stray actually had a registered microchip. She attempted to reach out to the family, but there was no luck.
The doctors discovered that Gideon was suffering from multiple severe bacterial and highly contagious fungal infections.
He had to be put into quarantine immediately.
Things didn’t look good for the pitbull, but Annie wouldn’t give up on him. For three months, she and the kindhearted vets worked around the clock to cure this sick boy.
Then, something amazing happened. Gideon underwent an incredible transformation, one you’ll have to see for yourself in the video below.
Not only did Gideon’s body began to heal, but his spirit did as well. Instead of quaking in fear when he saw humans, he began to realize they could be a source of love and comfort. The love and hope within him blossomed, shining through.
