For months, a sickly dog nicknamed “Werewolf” sat alone by a roadside in Madera Ranchos, California. With patchy fur, a broken tail, and a frail body, he looked so scary that no one dared get close.
That changed when a driver stopped and shared his photo online. Rescuer Megan Bowe rushed to help and discovered the “werewolf” was actually just a one-year-old German shepherd mix—later named King.
King was starving, dehydrated, and suffering from mange and old injuries from being hit by a car. Megan took him in, treated his infections, and gave him food and care. Despite the pain, King only showed love, often resting his head on her in gratitude.
Weeks of treatment brought him back to life—his fur grew in, his strength returned, and he began enjoying walks, car rides, and even doggy ice cream. Soon, King will be ready for adoption and the forever home he deserves.
Sometimes, one person’s kindness is enough to change everything.
