Mikita, an abandoned husky, had been living on the streets for several years. During that time, the poor creature developed terrible scabies that stripped it of almost all of its hair. The skinny, hungry, fearful dog had trouble even moving around and didn’t trust people…
This scrawny dog with almost no fur lived for many years at a construction site in South Dakota, USA. Its red skin was covered with scabies and its eyes were droopy and sad. One day, a volunteer at the Lightshine Canine rescue centre accidentally spotted it at the construction site.
After this meeting, Mikita’s life changed. Mikita was taken to the rescue centre, where they treated its skin for scabies and fed and cared for it regularly. It was only when Mikita’s fur began to grow back and the dog recovered somewhat that the staff realised that Mikita was a husky breed.
When she saw Mikita’s photo and story on the shelter’s page, a woman named Jessie couldn’t pass by. She was so touched by the girl’s story that she immediately wrote to the shelter and decided to take Mikita in. The staff agreed, and soon Mikita moved in with the woman.
