He never gave up on people even when life gave up on him Last part

Original caption

When the matted coat finally came off my heart sank💔 Fleas covered his fragile body, his skin was inflamed, and his nails had grown so long they barely looked real. This wasn’t just a makeover. It was about giving an old dog comfort, relief, and one more chance to enjoy life without pain. Every senior dog deserves kindness… especially the ones who never stop loving us❤️🐾 #doggrooming #satisfying #dogsoftiktok #doglover #usa

Transcript

I thought removing the mats was the hardest part but I was completely wrong once the coat came off the real condition of his body was finally visible fleas covered his skin hiding around his eyes ears and legs his skin was inflamed covered with flea dirt and dead skin after months of discomfort I gave him multiple flea treatment baths because one simply wasn't enough every wash removed more more parasites and years of neglect then came the moment I couldn't stop staring at his nails they were nearly two inches long some of the longest I've ever seen every careful trim was giving this old boy a little more comfort this wasn't about making him look handsome it was about letting a senior dog walk without pain maybe for the first time in a long time because sometimes the greatest transformation isn't what you see it's the comfort an old dog finally feels
