The scabies have consumed my body and it is full of wounds; I just want someone to touch me.

On the streets, many dogs suffer in silence from illnesses that go beyond physical pain. Mange, a disease that eats away at the skin and leaves the animal covered in open wounds, is one of the cruelest. These dogs not only suffer constant discomfort, but also loneliness and abandonment.

This dog, whose body is scarred by mange, yearns for something so simple yet vital: human contact, a caress that reminds him he’s still worthy of love and care. Every wound on his skin reflects not only his illness, but also the abandonment of those who should protect him.

Animal protection organizations are urgently urging society not to ignore these vulnerable lives. Mange can be treated, but love and attention are essential for a full recovery.

It’s not enough to heal external wounds; it’s necessary to heal the wounded souls of these people who only seek love and a safe home. Therefore, every gesture of support can make the difference between despair and hope.
