No one wanted to adopt this dying, 16-year-old dog at the shelter. His fur was matted and missing, and he was just a skeleton of a dog. But soon things changed for Bear. A family came in that decided to take a chance on him. Apparently all Bear needed was a little care and a little love. This is a transformation you have to see to believe.

This was Bear’s kennel record; just an older dog in need of some help.

The ride to freedom.

Bear’s first day home.

Norman (his new name) found a nice spot to take naps.

He LOVES naps.

And of course he loves dog food. Ah, the good life!

Looking better and better each day!

He just needed to be loved.

Being rescued gave Norman a whole new outlook on life. And a new look.

Adopting a dog doesn’t just save its life, it makes it a whole lot better! Spread the word by sharing this story.
