Getting a dog is a big decision, and being a dog owner is a lot of responsibility. The wonderful animals aren’t a toy that you can throw away when they’re not fun anymore.
Unfortunately, too many people don’t take their duties seriously, which is one of the reasons why there are millions of homeless dogs around the world.
However, there are also millions of people out there who care about dogs and do what they can to help these abandoned animals.
One person who refuses to give up is a Greek woman named Valia Orfanidou.
When she saw a photo of what was described as a “skeleton dog” on Facebook, she thought the image was taken from a horror movie.
The poor dog was so thin that you could clearly see his ribs. The dog lived on the tracks at a train station in Greece.
It was obvious that he didn’t have many days left to live, but no one had managed to get near him.
However, Valia decided to give it a try and went looking for the dog—a decision that changed everything.
Take a look at Billy’s wonderful journey, from the railroad tracks in Greece to his new home in Switzerland, in the video below.
You’ll also see Valia’s reunion with the “skeleton dog” that nobody dared to get close to. Nice Billy!
