What was in 1967 that the Beatles sang? That’s it, “All You Need Is Love.”
While the world has changed massively over the last 40 years, the mantra still rings true, as you can see from the photos of these abandoned animals who were rescued, and with a whole lot of love, had their lives turned around from their caring owners.
Though the sight of these poor stray dogs in their before state might speak volumes on animal abuse, the happy endings to their stories help us keep faith in humanity. So, what are you waiting for? Give the person next to you – or your dog or cat! – a hug and share some love! After, of course, scrolling down to this miraculous before and after photo list of rescue dogs who got truly lucky.
