On a sunny day in Attica, Greece, a charitable animal protection organization received a distressing call about a lost and suffering stray dog. Immediately, a rescue team called Shelter rushed to the scene and extended their helping hands.
When they found the poor dog, it was nearly “turned to stone,” with most of its fur fallen off, suffering from various skin, bone, stomach ailments, and severe malnutrition.
According to estimates, this unfortunate dog is around 5 years old and has been hungry for a long time. Its skin clung to its bones, making its ribs terrifyingly prominent.

Gaining this dog’s trust proved to be very challenging, as it seemed to have completely lost faith in humanity.
Finally, with patience and love, the rescuers managed to approach her, helping her bathe, administering medication, and improving her skin condition.
Afterward, the dog was named Petra, which means “stone” in Greek, because when she was found, Petra was almost “turned into stone” with her matted and tangled fur.
After nearly four months of love and care, Petra has made a remarkable recovery. During her recovery process, she has also learned to trust humans once again.Now, Petra lives happily and contentedly with her fur fully grown back.
With her groomed appearance and gradually restored confidence, Petra now enjoys outdoor walks.
The rescue center hopes that someone will adopt Petra and provide her with a true home, giving her a life full of love after enduring so much pain and misfortune.
