This Dog Turned To Stone And Was Found Rock Solid. But Watch Her Unbelievable Transformation!

About a year ago outside Athens, Greece, one woman spotted something that looked like a strange statue. After walking a bit more, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that it had started moving. But upon closer inspection, she discovered this stone statue wasn’t a statue at all — it was a dog in dire need of help.

The woman posted its picture on Facebook with a message asking for help. What followed would ultimately put an end to the sad stray’s suffering.

This was the dog when she was first spotted outside of Athens, Greece.

After her picture was posted on Facebook, she was given the name Petra, which is Greek for “stone,” and rescuers quickly mobilized to bring her to safety.

But it wasn’t easy. Petra was horribly afraid of humans and would run each time they attempted to get close to her.

Finally, she was caught and brought to the Save A Greek Stray shelter in Oropos.

 

It was there that a woman named Valia Orfanidou met Petra, and knew she had to help her.

Petra received treatment for everything from severe mange, which caused her stone-like condition, to skin infections and leishamiasis.

But Petra was still deeply mistrusting of humans. It took weeks and weeks for Valia to be able to truly show her love.

But the hard work finally paid off. Petra was a happy girl and ready to trust her foster mom. It was like she became a completely different dog.

Now all smiles and love, Petra is no longer the mange-covered, stone dog Valia used to know.

Petra still remains strong, but she’s also looking for her forever home. If you know anyone in Greece who might be looking for a beautiful, loving pup, they can contact Valia here.
