Human life is hard and harsh. But believe us when we tell you that a dog’s life is actually harder than yours.
Sometimes, their life story is actually more worthy to be featured in The Ellen DeGeneres Show than yours.
Most of these dogs experienced great suffering in life, until such time that a loving family or owner found them and gave them the love they need in life.
We have compiled 16 dog stories and photo transformation of our lovely dogs from the first day their owner met him until now.
1. This is Penny. One month ago, she weighed just 6lb and was scared of everything.

2. Scarlett was supposed to be euthanized due to a severe skin disease but one kind girl took the dog home and now she’s the happiest dog in the world.

3. A Reddit user once saw this lonely dog in a shelter and decided to tell the whole world about him, hoping to find him a new home. The left photo, where the dog looks like a cartoon character, was uploaded to the internet with the words, “This little guy is waiting to be taken home by a loving family.” And, luckily, the owner adopted him soon after.

4. A sad dog waiting for his owners and the same happy dog after his wish came true.

5. Pillow’s current owner adopted him despite the fact that he needed a serious surgery. Pillow had a cancerous mass in one of his legs. After the adoption, the owner helped his new pet overcome the disease and now Pillow is happily living in his new home with another dog named Daizy.

6. “Found a little armadillo pup 7 years ago. Here he is today!”
