Abandoned Puppy’s Face Was So Swollen She Couldn’t Open Her Eyes —What Happened Next Was a Miracle
Gracy was only 6 months old when she was left all alone on the side of a road in Bali. But what made her story truly heartbreaking was the state in which she was found. Her tiny face was ravaged by mange, her skin so inflamed and swollen that she couldn’t even open her eyes to see the world around her. (Watch Video Below)
@littlestepsmatter.bali Gracy's happily ever after 💫 She was still a puppy of only 6 months, when Gracy found herself abandoned on the road side with pain written all over her face. A severe case of mange infected her face so much that the inflamed, swollen skin overlapped and even shut her eyes fully. With intensive care treatment and lot's of love, she made a beautiful recovery. Gracy then was adopted into a wonderful, loving forever home. 5 months later we met her again and are so incredibly happy to see her being adored and cherished by her mama Regina the way she deserved all along. Her story is one we share together. Many of you fell virtually in love with Gracy as much as those who met her and loved her personally.

Thankfully, Little Steps Matter Bali stepped in, giving Gracy the care and love she so desperately needed. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle: her transformation into a healthy, happy pup with a forever home.
A Puppy Once Broken, Now Full of Life
When Gracy first arrived at the rescue in Bali, it was hard to imagine she had any future at all. Her tiny body was frail, her face painfully swollen, and her spirit weighed down by neglect. Yet what happened next left everyone amazed.
With round-the-clock care and treatment, she was given the second chance every puppy deserves. In time, she not only regained her health but also discovered love in the arms of a forever family who promised to cherish her for life.
Her past may have been filled with suffering and abandonment, but Gracy’s story proves that sometimes being left behind is the beginning of something far more beautiful.
Gracy’s New Life
Five months after finding the forever home she had always deserved, Gracy had a heartwarming reunion with the team at Little Steps Matter. For the rescuers who once saw her at her lowest, witnessing her happy, love-filled life was the greatest reward they could imagine. Today, Gracy is adored and spoiled by her mom, Regina, who treasures every moment with her.
Her transformation is truly extraordinary, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. When the rescue shared Gracy’s journey on TikTok, the video quickly touched thousands of hearts, gaining over 22K views and nearly 7,000 likes.
