The next day, both Blackie and Reiki were allowed to go home with me. Blackie wasted no time in devouring food as if he hadn't eaten in ages, which was likely the case. Over the course of a week, Blackie slowly regained some strength, but he was still alarmingly thin. However, his resilience and determination to survive were evident in his eyes.

As time passed, Blackie's transformation was nothing short of miraculous. A month later, looking at him, one could hardly recognize the dog who was once on the brink of death. With proper care, nutrition, and lots of love, Blackie made an incredible recovery. His once bony frame was now filled out, and his coat regained its lustrous shine.
