When a stray chihuahua named Lemon was picked up by Michigan animal control in 2015, she weighed just 2.5 pounds (approx. 1 kg) and was too weak to stand on her own two feet. As it turned out, she was picked up in the nick of time; the tearjerking transformation that followed is resonating with animal lovers everywhere.
Upon examination at an emergency clinic, staff noted that Lemon was emaciated, hypothermic, dehydrated, and had growths on her eyes that were impairing her vision. Not only could the little dog not walk, she was even too weak to sit upright.
