Can you fathom the anguish this dog endured? Once a cherished pet, she reveled in timely meals and a cozy bed. However, sickness struck, leading to a heart-wrenching abandonment on the streets. Despite her desperate cries for help, no one offered her a refuge.

Thankfully, despite being over 100 kilometers away, O. Gouveia made a valiant effort to rescue her. In a quiet corner, Gouveia discovered the trembling dog, Mafalda, emaciated and with half of her fur gone. Despite her dire state, Mafalda displayed remarkable composure on the way to the vet.





The veterinarian’s diagnosis revealed that, while Mafalda’s overall health wasn’t dire, her stomach bore the brunt of neglect. O. Glauber stepped forward, volunteering to care for her. Mafalda, though sweet-natured, struggled to eat properly, prompting Glauber Oliveira to prepare special meals. For a week, Mafalda could only partake in this tailored sustenance. Remarkably, after 10 days, she transitioned to a diet of raw food, and by October 15th, her digestive system had nearly fully recovered. A final check confirmed her ability to eat normally once again.
Under the devoted care of her new godfather, Mafalda now basks in love and attention—a heartening conclusion for a dog that endured immense suffering. It’s lamentable that humans subjected her to such cruelty, but the tide has turned. Let’s leave the past behind and focus on Mafalda’s promising future.
