Bali is one of the most beautiful places on earth but they also have an issue with stray dogs. It is not out of the ordinary to find a street dog walking around in most little villages and towns on the island. The government tries to keep things under control but there are issues with rabies outbreaks and sometimes, it is the residents of this island that care for things in the best way possible.
Many of the people on the island of Bali practice the Hindu faith. According to their religious customs, taking care of a dog and adopting them can earn them a spot in heaven. That is where we find the story of a husky who was in bad condition when someone found her on the street. She was malnourished and full of sores. A man by the name of Rico Soegiarto came to her rescue.
Rico found the puppy on the streets of Denpasar. She almost looked like a skeleton because of her malnourishment. Rico realized that she was on death’s door but she still had bright blue eyes and he knew that she deserved another chance. He doesn’t know what was special about her but she managed to find a spot in his heart. He took her back home and began caring for her.
You’re not going to believe the difference that you see in this husky. He gave her some grooming and nursed her back to health. Rico also provided her with plenty of good food and the transformation is amazing. She is now strong, healthy and beautiful on both the inside and the outside. She loves eating cookies and a good scratch behind the ears. Rico, along with his 4 other dogs, has helped this little miracle to survive.
They named the husky Hope. She was found abandoned on the streets of Denpasar, Bali.
Rico Soegiarto found the puppy when he was 26. He was on his way home from work and she caught his eye.
She was full of sores and so thin you could count all of her bones.
He realized that she was near death.
One thing that caught his eye, however, was her eyes and they were beautiful!
Rico decided to give her another chance at life.
Rico didn’t know what was so special about Hope.
He just had a feeling when he saw her and he acted on it.
He took her to the vet, gave her lots of good food and groomed her.
Rico is proud to show the transformation of this fortunate animal.
She is now healthy, strong and beautiful.
She loves cookies and getting a good scratch from time to time.
Hope lives with Rico, his girlfriend and their 4 other dogs.
