Meet Thomas, a stray dog who was discovered in appalling condition on Houston’s streets. Thomas, who was just eight months old, was suffering from a terrible skin infection that was causing him excruciating pain and blood loss. Fortunately, a dedicated team of veterinarians and animal lovers came to his aid, and after five months of care, Thomas has changed into a happy, healthy, and adorable pup.
When Thomas was discovered, he was in such a bad condition that he couldn’t even eat. All he could do was snuggle up on his bed and attempt to get some relief from the anguish. The clinic’s team of veterinarians worked tirelessly to heal his skin infection and provide him with the care he required.

Thomas began to show signs of progress as the days passed. He began wagging his tail and begging for attention from people around him. Thanks to the careful care he received, the previously fearful and suffering puppy was gradually becoming a lively and affectionate dog.
Thomas’ metamorphosis was not instant. It took the team of veterinarians and animal lovers who took him in five months of regular treatment, love, and attention. However, their efforts were rewarded, and Thomas is now an entirely different dog. He’s happy and healthy, a far cry from the terrified and suffering pup found on the streets.

Only kindness and love might have resulted in this dog’s amazing metamorphosis. We will be eternally grateful to the rescuers for saving Thomas’ life! Thomas’ rehabilitation is a brilliant example of what can be accomplished when people band together to aid those who cannot help themselves.
So, what happens next for Thomas? He’s ready to find a loving permanent home where he can grow and provide delight to everyone around him now that he’s found his newfound health and happiness. Thomas has a bright future ahead of him, full of love and numerous tail wags, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the team who saved him.

Crocodiles push stray dog to safety after it falls into danger-filled river
Scientists believe rare rescue is a sign that the fearsome reptiles may be capable of compassion
In an apparent example of interspecies compassion, a group of crocodiles appeared to usher a dog to safety after it fell into a dangerous river.
The dog, believed to be a stray, was being chased by a pack of other feral canines when it jumped into the River Savirtri in India out of harm’s way, or so it thought.
But the river was infested by local mugger crocodiles, and three of them were floating near the stray.
This should have been the end of the helpless pup, with the crocs being “well within the striking range,” according to a report published by scientists in the Journal of Threatening Taxa.
However, the crocodiles appeared to usher the dog back to safety on the shore.
“These crocodiles were actually touching the dog with their snouts and nudging it to move further for a safe ascent on the bank and eventually escape,” the researchers wrote.
“The muggers were well within the striking range and could have easily devoured the dog, yet none of them attacked and instead chose to nudge it towards the bank, implying that the hunger drive was absent.”
The researchers say that the crocodiles were “docile”. Adult male mugger crocs can reach 18 feet long and weigh up to 1,000 pounds, according to the Wildlife Institute of India.
The researchers said they believe that the pup rescue could be a sign of the crocs having emotional intelligence.
“The curious case of a dog ‘rescued’ by the group of crocodiles reported here seems more on lines of empathy than altruistic behaviour,” the scientists said.
Aside from the muggers’ apparent alliance with stray dogs, scientists discovered another wholesome obsession that the crocs appeared to have: marigold flowers.
Crocodiles are often seen floating or laying in marigolds, often keeping “physical contact” with the yellow flowers, which the researchers note have compounds that can protect skin from fungi and bacteria.
The Savitri River is polluted with sewage and other harmful ingredients, so this may be why they like to have contact with the petals.
