Leo’s hind legs became paralyzed after he was run over by a motorcycle, and his owners did nothing to help him. He was developing sores from dragging his legs around, and was covered in parasites. But one dedicated traveler went out of her way to get this baby saved and loving his new life.

Those owners didn’t deserve him.

Some people just don’t have a heart, I swear. So glad that a stranger did.
Great story.

I hope someone took care of the biker and the owners.

Thank you for saving this babies life .how can people do that to such a prersiouos life . This woman has a heart of gold to save this guy
That smile. Oh my goodness!
God bless her
Fa
heroine!
The people that ignored him – assholes. The person that saved him – legend!
It’s incomprehensible how this dog’s owner could just sit back and watch this precious dog suffer like that. The first picture breaks my heart into pieces. How could it not affect anyone that is human? God bless the stranger who saved Leo. His face shows so much happiness and joy now. I love this happy ending <3
Thank you the person who saved this fur baby from misery and as for the owners I hope you go to hell where you belong
So glad his pup found his real family! I cannot imagine just watching my dog live like that and not doing something to help him!
So glad Leo is happy and loved now. This woman is an angel on earth ❤️
God Bless the Angel that blessed this baby with mobility, and blessings of love, and a fur ever home for this sweet biy
Shame on the owners
Thanks for saving her. God bless u
He’ll yay
Bravoooooooo !
I can’t understand how anyone can be that cruel to a dog. It just blows my mind that people can let this happen, and not do anything about it.
Poor baby…I am glad to see he is in a better home where he is loved and well taken care of.
Put the owners under house arrest, fine them the cost of care for this adorable guy, and forbid them from ever having another dog, period.
Glad he is being loved and taken care of ❤
What country was the dog in originally?
Those abusers should have never been allowed to own ANYTHING not plastic!
Thanks Megan. I’m sure you two will be so happy together. He looks like such a love bug and that smile makes my heart smile. His humans should never have put him in harms way to be hit by the motorcycle anyway. He’s so much better off with you and I’m happy that you now have each other.
Bless you for taking care for this beauty
amazing people do still exist. it makes me a little more optimistic about the world we live in. going to hug my pooch now
Angela Szczypka
I luv it..😊
Thank you so much for ur kindness
Beautiful story ❤️
I’m so glad there are those who step in to help but I’m getting very overwhelmed by the terrible people who do nothing and leave animals to suffer and die. Very overwhelmed.
You know Life With Dogs, your headlines are totally misleading. You say the owners did nothing to help him but you don’t say what country he is from. Maybe they had no money to help him and you are needlessly stirring up sentiment…
What a kind loving person she is.
Delighted Leo’s horrific situation was turned around in such an amazing & positive way.
Bless them both.
Just beautiful action !! (y) (y) <3
Happy ending
Hero !! Bless the Both!
Meagan – I Love You!
What kind of a/holes ignore a dog in this state. Defectives. That’s what they are!
What a wonderful person look at that big smile on his face thank god for wonderful people x
Some people should have a gloria, all the best to you who took care of this dog.
cutie

One door closes, another door opens ….
Very happy for Leo but I hope his “owner” is facing charges that will hang him out to dry.
Thank God for the Meagans of the world!
Thank you to his rescuer.
A very happy looking dog
Help Save Leo – <3
Thank you for saving this dog.
This is Leo now!! ☺
Helping an animal like this truly is next to godliness. Blessings to Meagan for saving Leo and giving him a new lease on life. He looks like he is such a happy boy now!
Cannot thank the lady enough who saved this Dog, what a wonderful and caring person.

God will take care of him
You have a heart of gold you really did every thing you could for this dog and I do admire you well done you both look so happy and pup loves you so much he has a smile on his face
God bless the angel
Poor precious Leo.. Thank God he was sent an Angel!! Thank you!! As for the ” owners” .. can we break their legs and sit back and look at them .. doing nothing.. Disgraceful human beings..😡
What a terrible thing to do!! That poor, poor furbaby. So thankful there’s a happy ending.
Where was this.. some cultures are void of empathy x
God bles the person that made life livable for this dog people like that ought to have their heads knocked off
What does One of these Carts cost ? Anyone…. sure depends on size of dog…. would like to know. TIA
Paralyze them an no wheel chair.. that should do it
It breaks my heart… Glad he’s loved & saved.
Beautiful dog John O’ Kelly
Thank You for saving this wonderful dog.
THIS IS GREAT….SHAME ON THE PREVIOUS OWNER!
love his smile!
Unconscionable. If you can’t afford treatment, give them up. Give them a chance. Looks so happy. So sad that a stranger cared and his family did not. Neighbors of these creeps should pile dog do on their doorstep everyday!!
AMEN!
An angel found this pup.
Some humans do not deserve to be called human..Thanked god for the real humans…
SECOND CHANCES ARE GREAT
Hope they never have another good night’s sleep
Holly Droessler Krieger his owners did nothing to help him?! What the literal f**k
