A few years ago, Charlotte Hailey, a volunteer at Mission Paws’ible dog rescue, was walking through Bali when a stray dog in severe condition caught her attention. The dog, who was suffering from painful, red sores covering her skin, immediately tugged at Charlotte’s heartstrings.

“I was shocked at how bad her skin looked,” Charlotte said. But what struck her most was the dog’s trusting nature. Despite her suffering, the dog approached Charlotte without hesitation, eating a treat from her hand and wagging her tail.

Charlotte immediately suspected the dog had once been someone’s pet but was abandoned due to her skin condition. She knew she had to help but lacked the necessary rescue supplies at that moment. Determined, Charlotte made a plan to return as soon as possible.

However, when Charlotte came back, the dog had disappeared. After asking around, a man informed her he knew where the dog slept. With the man’s help, Charlotte was able to trap the dog, now named Delilah, and bring her to safety.

At the rescue, Delilah quickly bonded with the volunteers, showing her sweet, loving personality. With the right treatment and care, her sores began to heal, and her fur grew back. In a few months, Delilah was nearly unrecognizable, not only in appearance but in spirit.

Soon, Amelia, a kind-hearted woman, fell in love with Delilah and decided to adopt her. The bond between them was instant. Delilah, once abandoned and in pain, had found a forever home where she could experience true love and care.
