It’s truly remarkable the difference a haircut can make, especially for a dog. Many stray and neglected dogs go ungroomed, causing them distress as their fur becomes tangled and matted.
Recently, one stray dog was found with so much fur she “looked like a wig” — until a rescue gave her a life-changing makeover.
Mac’s Mission, a special needs dog rescue nonprofit based in Missouri, recently rescued a severely matted dog found in the middle of the road. The dog, now named Pear, was in terrible shape, completely covered in thick, matted fur.
The rescue wrote that Pear “didn’t even look like a dog” but rather “looked like a wig” — “just a wad of hair.”
The rescue took her in and a team of volunteers got to work helping Pear, giving her a “spa session” to remove all her dirty fur.
“We got her cleaned up, shaved down, and a bath to get rid of any grime and fleas,” rescue founder Rochelle Steffentold Newsweek. “She got settled into one of our spaces and fell asleep pretty quickly.”
Throughout the process, Pear was a patient good girl: “She was the sweetest and just sat there while we got all the terrible thick matts of her which took quite a while.”
She added that Pear thankfully did not have maggots in her fur, and said the dog was lucky she didn’t get hit by a car. However, Pear is missing an eyeball, apparently from an older injury.
Mac’s Mission shared photos of Pear before and after her treatment, showing a remarkable transformation:
“Pear has a new life ahead of her thanks to you all,” the rescue wrote on Facebook, thanking their supporters.
Pear looks beautiful — it’s hard to believe that it’s the same dog! Thank you to Mac’s Mission for giving this sweet dog a much-needed makeover!
Celine Dion puts on impromptu performance backstage at the Grammys amid battle with stiff person syndrome
Celine Dion not only shocked everyone by performing unexpectedly backstage at the Grammy Awards, but she also made a surprise appearance to present Album of the Year.
Dion, 55, has maintained a low profile since disclosing her condition in December 2022 in order to combat stiff person syndrome.
In the video, Sonyaé—who is up for a Grammy—and Dion dance to the beautiful harmony of their voices.
The singer of “My Heart Will Go On” made her first appearance in public since November, when she attended an NHL game with her kids. She also made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards.
Although there are rumors that Dion’s voice isn’t getting better in a way that would allow her to perform or record again, it appears that she can still hit the notes that we are all familiar with.
After disclosing her illness, she postponed the remainder of her tour dates, raising doubts about her ability to give a complete performance.
Celine, you have our undying love and support.
