With her last ounce of strength, she wagged her tail.

When the animal aid was unlimited, India learned that there were a few sick puppies lying in the shed, and they ran to rescue her. She was too weak to maneuver but when they approached, she tried to wag her tail, which surprised them.

“At the sound of our voices, she found the strength to wag her tail, and her black button eyes told us all we would have liked to understand ,” Animal Aid Unlimited wrote of the stray puppy they named Cotton.

“This sweetheart suffered with mange probably most of her short life, and therefore the mange was winning: she had collapsed within the corner of a shed and would never have stood up again if rescuers had not arrived,” they continued.

They can realize that Cotton needs immediate medical help.

“She needed help or she would die,” they wrote. “We hurried her to the hospital and gave her an IV drip to hydrate and nourish her. By morning she was already slightly improved, and that we began treating her infected wounds and mange.”

With their TLC, cotton began to bloom, and her transformation was wonderful.
