The Ilioupolis Animal Welfare Union (IAWU) has its hands full rescuing the stray dogs and cats of Ilioupoli, Greece. This organization regularly saves dogs and cats that are sick, injured, or abused from this area. Billy the dog was one of the most miraculous recoveries.

Billy, the dog, had been wandering the streets of a rural area of Greece for months. IAWU volunteers were notified that a sickly, starving dog was in need of their help and quickly came to Billy’s aid. According to the volunteers, Billy’s situation was the worst case of criminal negligence that they had seen in years. Even the vet was shocked at Billy’s horrible condition.
