33 soul-stirring photos of dogs before and after rescue (35 photos)

Every year, millions of dogs end up in shelters or on the streets. Many of these dogs were deprived of love and care, and never experienced the joy of life—only fear, loneliness, and uncertainty. But some are very lucky—kind people give them a new life full of love and happiness. Take a look at these photos that say it all!
