Dog Found In Kitchen Buried Beneath Four Trash Bags Full Of Matted Fur

A 79-year-old man in Novosibirsk, Russia, passed away and left behind his dog, Cocos. His relatives got all of his belongings, but the dog was neglected and pushed out to live on the balcony.

Over the next year, Cocos was fed just enough to keep him alive, but his hair continued to mat as it soaked up the feces and urine he sat in and couldn’t escape. When the neighbors saw the dog’s horrific condition, they called on local rescuers.

Volunteers arrived to find Cocos in the kitchen, and they were stunned by what they saw. They couldn’t even tell it was a dog at first. They rushed the dog to a medical center where six groomers started shaving off the matted fur. Around three hours and four 100-liter (26.42-gallon) trash bags later, the dog’s true identity was revealed.

Cocos was put on a special diet along with vitamins and fluids to build back his health. And it wasn’t long until a local woman named Elena Rivvo stepped up to adopt the like-new dog. Cocos is now unrecognizable in his new home and living the life! 🙂
