On Facebook, the Tails of Hope Dog Rescue announced that Riona’s TikTok page skyrocketed to over 2 million followers in just 24 hours, with one video amassing an astonishing 3.7 million views and 584,000 likes. The images shared on TikTok show Riona covered in bandages, highlighting the long road to recovery that lies ahead.
Ginger Natoli, founder of the Tails of Hope Dog Rescue, shared some encouraging news about Riona’s progress, stating that she is healing “very well.” Upon rescuing Riona, they initially assumed she had suffered a road burn, but it soon became apparent that she had been deliberately set on fire. Witness statements and ring cam footage obtained from a neighbor confirmed this horrific act.
Riona, a one-year-old pup weighing around 35 pounds, lost most of her left ear due to the fire. However, her left eye was miraculously saved. She currently undergoes twice-daily full body wraps under sedation, lasting over an hour, to prevent infection and protect her delicate skin. Thankfully, she remains infection-free, and the first of many skin grafts is set to begin next week.
