A stately husky dog is among the finest dogs out there – at least if you ask me. That’s why it hurts my heart when I see how some people mistreat these beautiful dogs.

If you have ever visited the beautiful island of Bali, you know how amazing it can be there – but unfortunately they have a huge homeless dog population. The authorities have found it very difficult to control the situation.

Thankfully, some volunteers have taken this problem into their own hands and are making it their mission to give poor, lost dogs a new chance in life.

One such animal hero is Rico Soegiart. On his way home from work, Rico encountered a terrible sight on the streets of Denpasar, a husky that was so thin her bones were sticking out of her emaciated body. She was close to death.

Despite her condition, her bright blue eyes still shone and Rico knew that he had to give the neglected dog a second chance. He spent 10 months looking after her and the transformation, shown below, is amazing.
