In Messina Italy, two women were walking along a dry riverbed when they saw a dumped trashbag moving. They immediately knew something alive is inside it. They even heard soft cries from inside the bag. They tore the bag open; and they were shocked and heartbroken with what they saw.

Inside the trashbag was a dog, with legs bound by an electrical wire. He was dumped near the river beside a dead calf. Linda Li, an animal rescuer was called to the scene. The dog had fly larvae all over him, and he had a lot of ticks all over his body.

The dog was in such a bad condition, he was immediately brought to the vet where they discovered that his hind legs were paralyzed. But even when he was such in a bad condition, the dog seemed to thank his rescuers by wagging his tail.

They named the dog Oliver! And because he had such a friendly and charming personality, it didn’t take long for him to find a loving owner, Dominique Mastroianni.

Oliver loves his new family! And he’s living quite a comfortable life!

And what makes this even better is that his legs are fine! Look at how handsome he is!

Thanks to the concern of some kind strangers, Oliver found a new lease in life.
