Mochi, a puppy who was discovered after being abandoned and battling for survival against the severe parvovirus, is the epitome of strength and tenacity. Mochi was on the brink of collapse and weighed just one kilogram. The puppy was a picture of vulnerability. Thankfully, compassionate souls quickly brought him to a veterinary clinic where a team of devoted professionals began the arduous task of nursing him back to health. Despite his frail state, Mochi showed incredible resilience and an inspiring will to live. The staff fell head over heels in love with the tiny dog.

After a week of treatment, Mochi had made remarkable strides, overcoming the virus that had once threatened his life. Released from the clinic, he moved into a foster home that offered him the nurturing environment he needed to continue his recovery. This marked the beginning of a hopeful new chapter for Mochi, filled with warmth, affection, and a second chance at life.
