The rescue story begins with a dilapidated abandoned building. Officers of the Chicago Police Department heard suspicious sounds coming from an uninhabited house. Being ready to face anything, the police did not expect to meet living creatures there - if, of course, one can call two unfortunate dogs wandering in the semi-darkness of a collapsed house, which, obviously, had been starving for an unknown amount of time, since they already looked like skeletons.

Officers immediately took the dogs to the Trio Animal Foundation, where they were examined by veterinarians. The animals were so emaciated that they could not walk on their own.

Don't worry, our story has a happy ending - after many months, the dogs Emmy and Oscar recovered and returned to normal weight, and also found new families where they are happy and loved.
