Every dog deserves a good life, especially when they are going through a tough period, such as being diagnosed with a tumor. Not all animal companions are fortunate enough to grow up in a loving environment, but even in the midst of the worst storm, there is a lovely rainbow of hope.

Gus the dog was given a new lease on life when he least expected it.

Gus was a beautiful little dog that survived for a long time on the cold and rainy streets of Texas, United States, until he was saved by the S.N.A.R.R Animal Rescue Northeast, a non-profit animal rescue organization based in New York.

Gus had to be transferred from Texas to New York to be rescued.

Gus’ case was unlike any other that the association’s volunteers had ever taken in. The streets played havoc on his health, resulting in a malignant growth near one of his eyes.

The facility’s attendants committed themselves to loving and pampering the animals. He had to go through radiation therapy sessions and also had heartworm disease.
