Without a doubt, one’s dog is certainly the best of friends that you can have. However, as we are continuously exposed to a lot of dog stories on social media, some of them tend to be rather sad, especially the ones revolving around homeless dogs. Thankfully, most of these stories do get a happy ending with the poor pups getting adopted after all of their struggles.

Today, we’d love to share with you the story of Coco who is a charming little dog who unfortunately fell into the hands of bad people.

It is speculated that Coco was either terribly mistreated by the community or by his so-called “owners” who had just left him to starve
