Dogs are known to have a strong and unbreakable bond with people and make great companions, no matter how much time you spend with them.
This was what Cody Leightenheimer experienced while at work one day. While working, Cody noticed that a puppy was approaching him.
Immediately, Cody noticed that this puppy was not healthy – he was infested with fleas and malnourished.
This puppy still manages to look so cute despite its condition.
