Melios, a.k.a Mel, was born into the world in February of 2015. Five months later, his rescuers spotted him tired and alone in the middle of a highway in a rural area of Greece, miles away from the nearest city. Melios suffered from demodectic mange, which had spread across his tiny body. His front leg was painful and fractured. But when his heroes picked him up, placed him in their car and drove him to the animal hospital, his life changed forever.
Mel's leg was placed in a splint for three weeks, after which it healed. As you'll see in the video below, his physical and emotional transformation is nothing short of spectacular. He's currently in foster care, where his loving temporary family says he's getting better with each passing day.
His foster family describes him as a sweet, cuddly dog who longs for companionship. Even in his most difficult days on the streets, he was searching for any type of company, whether it was another dog or human. He doesn't like being alone because he's reminded of being left behind. "You must constantly remind him that being alone in a room is not scary," his foster family says. "That a door is not a barrier and it doesn't mean he is banned from the world. A door is something that shows protection and relaxation."
God bless the saviors who banded together to give Melios his second change. Watch his journey unfold in the video below, and please SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
