This tiny abandoned dog was sick and would have died helplessly of an illness if DAR Animal Rescue hadn’t found her by chance. They were on their way to deliver a dog to foster care when they spotted her in the middle of the road in the middle of nowhere.
The little dog came over to Ermioni wagging her tail. She would let the rescuer pet her but didn’t want to be picked up. But after some gentle coaxing and food, Ermioni hesitantly picked the dog up.

But this happy girl has a second chance thanks to being spotted completely by accident.
