Meet Pepper, a Senior dog from Udaipur, India. Found under a car in a terrible condition. A good Samaritan saw Pepper and called the rescue group, Animal Aid Unlimited.
The poor dog was homeless as well as suffering from a disease called mange. Mange is a skin disease that affects mammals. It is caused by parasitic mites and sometimes transferable to humans.
The signs and symptoms are, severe itching, hair loss, the formation of scabs and lesions. Pepper was completely hairless with itchy skin, covered in lesions and scabs; and was in terrible pain.
