We all know that werewolves are mythical creatures and that they exist purely in fiction.
But when a werewolf was mysteriously spotted around the roads and orchards of Madera Ranchos, California, residents were too frightened of it to approach it.

But when a resident passing through spotted the creature on the side of the road and posted a picture of it on Facebook.
The founder of a rescue organization spotted it: Megan Bowe, of Bowe’s Adoptable Rescued Pups.

From the picture, it was clear that the “werewolf” was extremely skinny and balding.
Megan went out to find the werewolf and soon discovered he wasn’t a werewolf at all, but a German shepherd mix, and he was very eager to come with her.

She named him King and rushed him to an emergency vet clinic, where it was found that the pup was merely one year old, had a broken tail and pelvis, scabies, and multiple other conditions.

Vets guessed he’d been hit by a car, leading to the injuries which were healing badly.

The injuries left him unable to fend for himself and find food or water.

Due to some infectious conditions, King had to be kept separately from the other rescue dogs, so Megan set him up in her garage.

She slowly fed him small portions for meals, increasing them as they went, to help him gain weight and strength so he could undergo the necessary operations for his broken bones.

When he finally reached that stage, surgery went smoothly!

Despite everything he’d been through, King was always loving and friendly, always giving hugs to Megan.

Now, he’s strong enough to go for regular walks to help build strength in his legs.
Now, he’s enjoying his time in his new home.

He may need future surgery for his hip, but for now, he’s loving life and awaiting adoption!
