Must see but the last pic is not for the faint of heart...

Here is what we do to our pets sometimes and sometimes they surprise us big time by clinging to life when it is impossible, unfathomable, unbelievable, ...

I am not aware of a more dramatic recovery story than this one - it can make a grown man cry.

Current photos versus original condition of Dec 2014 of Alfred, the featherfin synodontis are on page 9 but there is more photos and this story from France is worth reading: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=41416&start=160

The original owner shouldn't be aloud to own any thing alive ever.

Remember seeing this posted prior and was shocked when I saw it. Surprised it was still hanging on. Looks great now!

The so called dentist clearly has no sense of right and wrong. I would not let him touch my mouth if that is how he treats his fish. He should be banned from keeping animals.
Fair play to the guy who rescued it. Top class work!!

Excellent thread. Amazing the healing power in a simple act if caring. People have an amazing capacity to care for one another, animal and human alike....imagine what we as a people united could accomplish.

What Stine did for that poor syno coupled with how fast the syno recovered was truly amazing. Wish everyone in this amazing hobby had that kind of heart.
