Once Called a “Werewolf,” Neglected Dog Named King Transforms With Love and Care
For months, people driving through Madera Ranchos, California were startled by the sight of a strange, ragged figure lurking near the roadside. With scaly skin, patchy fur, and a broken tail, he looked so unusual that locals nicknamed him a “werewolf.” Most simply drove by, too wary to approach, unsure of what he really was.

That all changed when one passerby shared his photo on Facebook. The post caught the attention of Megan Bowe, founder of Bowe’s Adoptable Rescued Pup, who rushed to the scene. What she found nearly broke her heart. The “werewolf” wasn’t a monster at all—he was a starving, sick young German shepherd mix fighting for his life. Megan named him King.
A veterinarian confirmed King was suffering from scabies, a broken pelvis, and a broken tail, likely from being hit by a car months earlier. At only a year old, his skeletal frame and exhausted body made him appear far older. Too weak to search for food, he had been wasting away by the roadside.

Megan immediately brought him to emergency care, then created a safe quarantine space in her garage to protect other animals while he recovered from mange. She began feeding him small, frequent meals, slowly rebuilding his strength. Despite his pain, King showed only gratitude and affection, resting his head against Megan as if to hug her.

With weeks of care, his mange cleared, his energy returned, and his true personality emerged. Once strong enough, he underwent surgery on his pelvis and tail, both of which were successful. Today, King enjoys daily walks as part of his recovery, along with simple joys like doggie ice cream, car rides, and soaking up sunshine.

Though he may need further surgery on his other hip, his future now shines with hope. Megan is confident that he will make a full recovery and one day find the loving forever home he deserves.

Reflecting on his journey, Megan said:
“It’s hard to think that all those cars passed him by and never stopped. But all it took was one person.”

King’s transformation from a feared “werewolf” to a beloved, affectionate companion is a powerful reminder of resilience, compassion, and the life-changing impact of a single act of kindness.
