Watch: Incredible reaction when this abused puppy finds out who his new owner is

Joey Wagner, an animal activist discovered the Pitbull puppy in a sorry state. The animal was malnourished and dehydrated, and its fur had been ravaged by a severe case of mange.

Undeterred, Wagner took the puppy to a nearby vet. Despite its many ailments and despite being a stray, the dog was treated with utmost care and attention. Its treatments were long and hard, and recovery, at times, seemed impossible.

Happy reunion 

After a matter of months, the puppy began to show signs of recovery, and Wagner was called upon to see the results of the extensive care given to the dog by the vet.

The dog’s saviour had already made up his mind about adoption, but he was concerned that the dog would not recognise him after so long apart. How wrong he was! Mojo leapt into Wagner’s arms, seemingly so grateful for being given another chance at life.

Mojo and Wagner now live happy and content, and the sorry episode has been put behind them.
