A stray dog found living off dirty water and garbage has made an inspiring transformation since he was rescued by two good samaritans.<\/p>\n
The white Samoyed was discovered roaming the streets when he spotted the helpers and approached them with an empty can.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe seemed to understand that the rescuer was here to help him,\u201d explained the caption in a YouTube documenting the rescue, where the dog is seen approaching the stranger for affection.<\/p>\n
It was apparent the pup was plagued with a bad flea infestation, but his helpers were still eager to help him find a way out of his plight.<\/p>\n
They were even more charmed when they lept up to hug one of the rescuers and couldn’t resist bringing the pup back to the safety of their home.<\/p>\n
