✿ Full Story:
Every animal rescue requires a combination of being in the right place, at the right time. But, in Nelson's case, he was out of time.

Nelson, an abandoned street dog on the streets of Greece, was literally being eaten alive by parasites. Mange was ravaging his skin while worms and Leishmania were destroying his digestive system. According to doctors, Nelson was weeks away from certain death...that is until newlyweds, Aliki and Walter of Canada happened to stumble upon him while driving to a shopping mall in Greece.

When Walter and Aliki laid eyes upon the sickly and emaciated Nelson everything changed. They knew they had to do something. For the next couples days, Aliki and Walter returned to the location they first found Nelson, feeding him. Up until the day they had to leave Greece.

Aliki continued her pursuit to save Nelson calling animal rescues in and around Greece. Through complex avenues, she finally reached Greek Animal Rescue and Diasozo (street rescuers.) Diasozo were on the ground and were able to pick up Nelson.

His medical treatment started immediately and lasted for 5 months. Through the 5 months it was kind caring hands of the animal rescuers at Diasozo, that mended him and taught him to trust again.

All the while in Canada, Aliki and Walter, are sending through donations to do whatever they can to help Nelson. Once Nelson was finally recovered, Aliki and Walter brought Nelson home - to Canada, where he resides today.

✿ A note from Ermioni, one of the rescuers on the ground:
"He had the best character ever and it was heartbroken to know that someone abandoned on the streets a dog with such a kind heart, when Diane Chapman from GAR brought him to me, I took him in my arms and walked him from the car to the vet, I didn't had a travel box with me, he was lovely! We felt in love from the first minute."
