You are an amazing human for what you are doing for that dog. I don't have anything to give up a single vote of karma, but believe me when i say I wish I could upvote this 1 million times

Oh christ. That middle picture on the bottom is the greatest thing!

I rescued an abused pit puppy a short while back but he had apparently already contracted Parvo or some such. As we were fattening him up, he stopped eating and died pretty quickly. So sad. I'm glad your guy is doing great!

Get them vaccinations, yo!

IN West Philadelphia, born and raised. 30 pounds in six weeks is what I gained...

This is one of those scenarios where you can take them in guilt free, since even if they aren't a stray, the owners sure as hell shouldn't be keeping him.

I'd love to do this for a stray, but I feel I would somehow do something wrong.

When you brought him in, when did you feel it was appropriate to bathe him? How much food did you start him off with, and did you progressively give him more? Did you feel it was appropriate to introduce him to your other pets immediately, or keep him in a room to himself?

Some enlightenment on how you did this kind gesture would be very appreciative.

This is amazing! 6 Weeks ago I found a kitten starving and only 2 pounds and very underweight, now six weeks later, hes 6 pounds and overweight for his age (a couple months old ), The vet told me to stop feeding him so much :)

He just looks like "Oh god, this is so so good, i am so so happy" in all the pictures. Like someone else said, rescued dogs know they were rescued.

I've seen a couple of dogs (and a shit-ton of cats, but I'm deathly allergic so I care less about them) wandering the streets of West Philly where I work as a teacher. Every time I see a dog I get really upset that someone either doesn't care enough to make sure they're not wandering the street, or they're not part of a family at all. Unfortunately, I take the El to work (and have a husband who is a germaphobe and thinks everything in Philly is covered in cockroaches), or I would take every last one of them home.

I'm thankful for people like you that will be the saviors of these dogs that I just want to make sure are okay. Thank you for making me feel better about not being able to love each one of them on my own.

The top photos make me want to cry. I live outside of Philly and the pitbull throw-away population in this area is ungodly high. Props to you for taking care of this little guy.
