We see amazing rescue stories every day, yet they never fail to nudge a tear or two forward. This one in particular brings out that fuzzy feeling inside as you watch this senior dog, dubbed Mufasa, go from scared and weak to loving and healthy. Nothing like a little attention from Hope for Paws to bring a dog back to life.

What a sweet, wise face Mufasa has. If you would like to be a part of the effort to rehabilitate stray dogs, you can donate here at Hope for Paws or here at Lionel’s Legacy. You can also always consider adopting a senior dog, who is oftentimes already trained and ready to give so much love and affection.
