From Near Death to New Family: The Heartwarming Tale of a Puppy Nursed Back to Health by Chimpanzees (VIDEO)

The heartwarming story of Snafu, a tiny puppy rescued by Jenny Desmond from the side of a road in Charlesville, Liberia, is one that will make you believe in the power of kindness and love. When Jenny found Snafu, he was in a terrible condition, covered in sores, starving, and suffering from external parasites and worms. But she didn’t give up on him. Instead, she took him to the chimpanzee sanctuary she operated with her husband, Jim.

At the sanctuary, Snafu was given a new lease on life. The chimps at the sanctuary took a liking to him and helped nurse him back to health. They treated him like their own, being cautious with the tiny collar he wore and playing with him. Snafu grew stronger, and the chimps remained his friends. But Jenny knew that Snafu needed a family of his own, so she arranged for him to go to Colorado to live with her nieces.

Snafu’s new family loved him, and he began enjoying life to the fullest. He played in the snow, and nothing seemed to stop him from being the amazing dog he was meant to be. But even though he was happy with his new family, one wonders if he ever thinks about the chimps that cared for him and were his first friends.

Jenny and Jim continue their work in Liberia, rescuing chimpanzees from the illegal pet trade and developing a new sanctuary for them. They are also working on opening a conservation center to protect Liberia’s remaining wild chimps. Snafu’s story is a testament to the power of kindness, love, and the ability of animals to form deep connections with one another.

Snafu’s story reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. It is a story of resilience, perseverance, and the transformative power of love. We can all learn from Snafu’s example and strive to be kinder and more compassionate to those around us. Let us share his amazing tale with others and spread the message of love and kindness.
