There’s nothing on this earth more powerful than a mother’s love. We have a story that proves that’s true even if you have four legs and a tail. When rescuers found this pair of dogs, they were both only inches away from death’s door. Both animals had nearly given up the will to live altogether. However, one of the dogs was the other one’s mother, you see. And she absolutely refused to die before she saw that her son was okay.
Would that be enough to pull her through just a little while longer until doctors could help her too?
REFUSED TO DIE
When rescuer Viktor Larkhill, founder of Let’s Adopt, found the two dogs, Oscar and Helen were in desperate condition. Viktor realized that if he didn’t act quickly and get very lucky, the two animals were not going to survive.

The rescuers worried that they wouldn’t be able to gain the dog’s trust in time to get them help.

HURRY
Because of limited resources, Viktor had to take one dog in at a time.
“While we drove to the hospital we promised to her, and to ourselves, that we would not leave her behind… we promised her that we would save her beautiful son and we would return to find her,” wrote Viktor.
Of course, it was a very tense time waiting to return for Helen. Viktor knew that she was at the end of her life. He didn’t know what to expect when he got back on site to finally pick up Helen as well.

We can only guess why Helen refused to die, but when Viktor arrived, there she was.
She had found a couple of cushions and Helen had settled in to await her fate.
FOUND
Viktor and his team carefully removed Helen from the garbage she called home.

Rescuers realized that to give these two dogs a fighting chance, they would have to keep them together — at least for a while.

The mother and son, though healing and weak, stayed as close as possible.
TRANSFORMATION
It took months of dedication and hard work, but you aren’t going to believe the transformation. Helen went from a dog at death’s door to looking like another creature entirely — as did Oscar.
