He not only managed to get an emaciated and very sick dog off the streets, but brought the dog back to full health.  The dog is currently staying with Coitinho, and is recovering quite nicely.  All of it thanks to this heroic man, and the medical care staff that helped treatments go smoothly.  All of them are very heroic people, and deserve some recognition for their efforts. If you were to ask Mr. Coitinho what the reasons behind the effort are, he simply says, “Rescuing and rehabilitating injured and abused animals is just my thing.” If you would like to see the full set of photos taken over time of Coitinho and the dog (there are many!), you can click here.  Quite a few of the photos are graphic, but they are so worth it to see this amazing transformation unfold.

DORI was surrendered to me last year as a three-week-old puppy who suffered from Swimmer’s Syndrome.

Her limbs were flat out to the side of her body and she could not use them.  She was so weak that she had to be force fed, and her chest was crushed due to her only being able to lay flat her first 3 weeks of life.

When I left the vet that day I left in tears.  Her prognosis was grim.  The vet said she had so much damage to her chest wall, and the fact that she needed forced feeding was never a good sign.

Well after my boyfriend did some research, he made her a harness out of a sock, which braced her limbs forward.  While her legs began to get better, it was touch and go because she wouldn’t eat.  However, Dori proved to be a fighter.

It’s been almost a year since we got her.  The vet says she is truly a miracle.

My boyfriend and I have adopted her, and you would never know today that she had any thing wrong with her.  She runs, plays, does stairs and is a VERY happy girl!
