It’s a simple task to rescue a puppy, isn’t it? Sometimes, there are some who are so injured that no one dares to give them a second chance. Fortunately, not everyone is like that, and there are rescuers like Alessandro Desco.

Alessandro is a family man in charge of leading the organization Ales Pits Team in Brazil, and hundreds of dogs have found homes thanks to him. However, there’s one case he’ll never forget, and that’s the beautiful Athena. The dog was found in the middle of a forest with very dangerous wounds.

Everything seemed to indicate that her previous owners had left her there to get rid of her. It wasn’t clear how she had received such deep injuries, but it was clear that she needed help as soon as possible.

Her skin was very inflamed, and some wounds were already showing signs of decomposition. The locals contacted Alessandro, and he immediately responded. When he arrived at the veterinarian, the doctors were shocked to see the alarming state of her health.

She couldn’t open her eyes, and the infections in the wounds were so advanced that they feared her internal organs might be compromised. Many would have considered her a lost cause, but Alessandro insisted on fighting for her. Now, Athena is unrecognizable.

“Thank you for such a kind gesture. Athena was very lucky. Hopefully, no dog ever has to suffer like that again,” commented a user on social media.

The beautiful furry friend managed to recover from her wounds, and her fur began to shine brighter and healthier. Most surprisingly, she’s the most loving dog in the world.

Even after going through days of so much pain, she approaches every human she meets with a desire to play and with loving eyes. It’s a true relief to know that Athena got the help she so desperately needed with Alessandro’s assistance.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Pitbulls are often judged by their breed, and they’re even exploited for degrading dog fights. Furthermore, once they’re rescued, they have fewer chances of finding a home, all because of false myths that they have behavior problems.

Athena is now in a safe place, and Alessandro is looking for a loving family so she can start her new life. Don’t leave without sharing Athena’s wonderful transformation. It’s time to fight against unfair stereotypes of pitbulls. Share!
