When Honey arrived at a veterinary surgery in West Sussex, England, her condition was absolutely appalling. The poor little dog had lost all her fur and was completely infested with mange.
It was a dire situation that found a solution when her "owners" agreed to give her up.
A true rebirth
From the very first glance, Jessie DeFreitas, a veterinary nurse, fell head over heels in love with this little dog, despite her wretched state. She decided to take care of her and offer her a fresh start in life.
With her mum's help, Jessie DeFreitas cared for Honey – whom she decided to rename Terra – day after day, despite the challenges.
After three months of constant care and love, Jessie DeFreitas and her mother had the wonderful surprise of witnessing little Terra's transformation. She became a completely different dog.
These striking images show that with love and plenty of patience, miracles are possible. Today, Terra is very happy and is enjoying her new life more than ever.
