TinTin was a dog living in Indonesia. A local shelter got a call about him from a vet who had received the dog from his owners. The dog was very frail and thin from malnourishment. Without medical attention, the pit bull would certainly die.

He had gotten this way because his owners had deserted him at the vet when they couldn’t afford treatment for the dog’s care. Because the vet wasn’t receiving money for the dog, they left him to die. The shelter wasn’t sure what was wrong with the pup, but they knew they would need to act fast because his health was rapidly deteriorating.

Watch the video to see how this dog makes a recovery thanks to the care of a medical team.

Thankfully, now TinTin has another chance at life.
