This true story is from a few years ago, but was recently 'bumped up' on the Care2 pages, as it was so moving.

Don Hill, about to leave his deceased mother's home after her passing, discovers an injured and neglected old dog who has wandered into the front yard. The level of this dog's neglect indicates many years of abuse.
He looks as if he might not have long to live. Don drives him home, and gets veterinary care for him. The dog, now named "Roadie" gets better. Aged about fifteen, he goes on living another seven months, with happiness, fun, love and care, perhaps for the first time in his entire life.
A beautiful story.
