Rescued Dog Was Ill and Near Starving; Now She's Happy and Healthy With New Found Family (PHOTOS)

An emaciated canine that was starving and left primarly in a backyard in Mexico was rescued by Cats and Dogs International (CANDi). The dog was discovered by photographer Tracey Buyce who was also a board member of CANDi.

The dog's owner could no longer afford to buy food for the dog, which accounted for her "near death" condition. Buyce convinced the owner to relinquish Luna to her rescue group, and then she rushed her to a local vet. The vet discovered that she was expereincing starvation and had cancer that was treatable.

"She's super sweet," Buyce said, according to The Dodo. "She fit in with that family like it's always been her home. I really feel like it was meant to be."
