Fiona’s remarkable rescue

- Shauna Rempel

When the Hagars met Fiona, she was in rough shape. Blind, infested with fleas and shivering in an alley, the dog was near death.

Eldad and Audrey Hagar, who run an animal rescue organizati­on, Hope For Paws, in Los Angeles, rescued Fiona that rainy day.

The change since has been nothing short of remarkable. The Hagars raised money for surgery to partially restore her sight, and the cleaning and general TLC that the couple gave turned the sad creature into a happy dog with a new lease on life.

Watch her transforma­tion for yourself: Eldad Hagar captured it all on video.

The couple hopes the three-minute-plus video, which has gone viral and landed them on television news programs, will help them to raise money to save more dogs like Fiona.
