Goran Marinkovic was on his morning rounds when he came upon a distressing scene while on his way to aid abandoned and malnourished animals. An abandoned puppy was discovered next to an old shoe that appeared to be used as a coat by the guy.

Unfortunately, Goran discovered another dead puppy just a few meters from the puppy. With no mother in sight, the young survivor was surrounded by rubbish and plastic bags; both were mercilessly abandoned to their fate. That shoe served as a refuge for the puppy, who was exhausted and feeble.

According to Goran, who spoke to Metro UK,

“I turned around by chance and spotted this small puppy.” A few feet away, her sibling or brother lay lifeless. She was at the end of her endurance. I instantly offered her a dinner, which she accepted because I usually carry dog food with me. Words can’t express how big the dog was or how hungry he was. He was the size of a shoe », says the author.

The man took the dog to a veterinarian clinic, where they informed him that she was in good health following several tests. Smesten was her name, and he assisted her in her recovery.

In a short period of time, the tiny girl revealed her cheeky and lively attitude, which caused Goran to fall even more in love.

After a few months, the cute dog eventually won the heart of a woman, who adopted her without hesitation.

Goran explains:

“After a few months, Smesten was adopted by a woman who urgently wanted her, and she now lives like a queen.”

Coco, the dog, no longer resembles the ill young girl Goran discovered next to a shoe in a garbage. She has matured into a cheerful, fluffy dog that is always looking forward to new experiences with her family.

Goran, for one, continues to save as many abandoned animals on Serbian streets as he can. Generally, the guy works on his own dime, although he does occasionally accept assistance from friends and regular people to aid with veterinarian and feeding costs.
