This "gargoyle" dog spent 8 heartbreaking years surviving alone on the streets β€” skin and bones, forgotten by the world πŸ’”πŸΆ. But everything changed when a kind couple saw through her appearance and gave her a second chance at life.

Watch the emotional moment this skeletal survivor takes her first real run πŸ₯ΉπŸ’¨ β€” and makes her rescuers (and us!) cry happy tears. Her transformation is more than just physical β€” it’s a journey of hope, love, and finally belonging.

Now she’s no longer invisible. Now she’s family. πŸ πŸ’•

00:00Hi, baby.
00:01It's okay. Come here, baby.
00:04A friend had told us about this dog that she'd seen
00:06who was in really, really bad condition.
00:09Come here, baby.
00:10My heart sunk when I saw her.
00:12She has a rough shape.
00:13All you can see is the skin and bones.
00:16She didn't want to come to us at first.
00:20Come on with us.
00:24She literally looked like a gargoyle.
00:26She looked like golem slash dinosaur elephant baby.
00:30Can I just pick her up?
00:33Okay, yeah.
00:40When I was able to pick her up,
00:41look in her eyes,
00:42wanting to give up.
00:45She was nervous,
00:46but she had no energy to get away from us.
00:50Have a good life now.
00:51It's okay.
00:52It's okay. Come on, baby.
00:54It's okay.
00:55It's okay.
00:59It's okay.
01:01You figured it out right now?
01:02Yeah.
01:02We are two animal rescuers from Canada
01:04who are escaping the winter
01:05while trying to save as many animals as possible
01:07in Mexico.
01:08First one.
01:09Go, baby.
01:09She definitely lived like that for years and years of her life,
01:25but it looked like she only had a couple more days left.
01:28The vet had no good news for us.
01:32She was just so emaciated.
01:34She needs to be on steroids.
01:35Her blood work was terrible.
01:37You can pick it up today,
01:38maybe like six o'clock, six, ten.
01:41Should I?
01:41Yeah.
01:42Sure.
01:43Oh my God.
01:44Why did we take this first dog?
01:46It's going to be so heartbreaking.
01:47Come on.
01:48I appreciate you.
01:49It's okay, girl.
01:52What are you doing?
01:53Put this bed over there for the dog.
01:55Wow.
01:56The dog's going to be spoiled.
01:59Where are you putting it?
02:00Inside our bed.
02:02Okay, let's do it.
02:03So she can sleep with us.
02:04All right, let's do it.
02:05Over here.
02:05Yeah, in bed.
02:07Oh.
02:08Come on.
02:08Put it against the wall.
02:11We'll go get her from the vet,
02:12and then I guess we'll set her up right here.
02:15Yeah.
02:16We'll give her maybe a little bit of food.
02:18Yes.
02:18Just a little bit of food,
02:19and then...
02:20Lots of love.
02:21Lots of love.
02:22Lots of love.
02:23I'm going to cry a lot.
02:24Yeah.
02:24Yeah, for sure.
02:26We're pulling up to the vet.
02:28Yes.
02:29We're going to get our baby.
02:30Our little miss baby that we rescued today.
02:33First rescue on the trip.
02:34We can see her.
02:35I know.
02:37When the vet kept calling her Miha,
02:38it means my girl.
02:40Brady always says to me,
02:41oh, my girl.
02:42So I was like,
02:42that's her name, Miha.
02:43You want to come home with us, okay?
02:45Okay, let me pick you up.
02:46She's so defeated.
02:48Okay?
02:49Yeah.
02:49Will her fur grow back,
02:50you think, eventually?
02:51Yes.
02:52It's a good life now.
02:53I know.
02:55Can you cry?
02:57Here's one to her.
02:58I love her.
03:01Welcome to your new home.
03:03This is your new home, baby.
03:06Put her on her little bed.
03:08I'll check it out.
03:09Okay.
03:09I was so in love with her
03:11the second that we brought her home.
03:12My sweet girl.
03:14Our plan is to foster her
03:16until she's healthy enough
03:17to find a forever home.
03:18We're going to have a shower.
03:20Get you clean.
03:21Yeah, she hates it.
03:23When you rub her body,
03:24you feel every...
03:26It's uncomfortable.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Hopefully, I'm going to put some
03:33of my head in.
03:35It's almost better, baby.
03:38Will you go to your bed?
03:40Okay.
03:42Yeah, you nuzzle up all the time.
03:45She just wanted to sleep,
03:46sleep, sleep.
03:47She finally felt safe, right?
03:50It's probably like
03:51she'd never slept like that before.
03:54Hi.
03:55You're going to have a good life now,
03:56baby girl.
03:57You're going to have a good life.
03:59Are you an alien or a doggie?
04:01It was a good first night, though.
04:02Good first sleep.
04:03Yeah.
04:04She had no idea how to cuddle.
04:07Where are you?
04:08She had no idea
04:09how to do anything
04:10that a dog should do.
04:11Come on, come on.
04:12Come on, be on.
04:13Every day,
04:14we would go for a walk
04:15on the beach
04:15and she would stop
04:17because she would have no energy.
04:20Be like, okay,
04:21it's like a five-step walk today.
04:23It's okay.
04:24Hi, baby.
04:25Are you done?
04:27That's it?
04:28Well, you did really good.
04:30I'm proud of you.
04:31That's the furthest you've walked.
04:34Yeah.
04:35I'm proud of you, my girl.
04:37Good girl, mija.
04:38And the next day would be like
04:3910 steps
04:40and then the next day
04:42like a little bit more.
04:43Good girl.
04:43And then she'd like
04:46a little spurt to run.
04:48Good girl.
04:49Oh, is it some fun?
04:54Is it some fun?
04:57Go, go, go.
04:59People thought
04:59we were insane on the beach.
05:01I'd be like,
05:01bawling my eyes out
05:02the second she took
05:03her first little run.
05:05Ah!
05:09Come on, mija.
05:09Come on, mija.
05:10Come on, mija.
05:12Are you tired?
05:14Good girl.
05:16Good girl, mija.
05:20Oh, angel baby face.
05:23That's the best
05:24she's probably ever felt
05:24like since we bought her.
05:27There's so much energy.
05:29She's like,
05:29why are you crying,
05:30you weirdo?
05:32Yeah, we're not the same dog.
05:36Every single day,
05:37she just got a little bit
05:38weirder,
05:39a little bit funnier.
05:41Are you crazy?
05:42Are you crazy today?
05:44When she realized
05:46what good life was,
05:47she was like,
05:47mm, I'm gonna fight for this.
05:49We're getting so much better
05:50every day.
05:51Look at the eyes.
05:54Oh my goodness,
05:55and we've gained some weight.
05:57My feet, she weird
05:58like a different couple.
06:00I'm gonna just
06:01smush her a little bit.
06:02Look at the little hair.
06:02She just wanna squeeze you.
06:03Look at the hair growing down.
06:04No.
06:05So baby, baby.
06:07Sing to her,
06:08she likes it.
06:09Sing.
06:10Sing.
06:11She's a beautiful
06:12baby I ever did see.
06:14Even here recently,
06:15I will think,
06:16but she fell out.
06:18So Miha's gonna be able to
06:20experience this whole journey with us.
06:22We're gonna keep her
06:22during the duration of her trip
06:24and bring her along the journey
06:26of our rescue mission here in Mexico.
06:28Saving as many dogs as we can.
06:30It's gonna be a super cool journey.
