A girl, once labeled “wolf girl” and “monkey face” by her peers, knew that her condition wouldn’t stop her from finding happiness. Eventually, she discovered the love of her life, and her story reveals the profound impact it had on her life.
Supatra “Natty” Sasuphan, once dubbed the world’s hairiest girl, faced ridicule and fear from her classmates due to her unique appearance.
On August 5, 1999, something important happened in Supatra’s family. Usually, when a new baby is born, parents feel really happy and excited. That’s how Supatra’s mom and dad, Sompon and Samrerng, felt when she was born.
But their happiness was mixed with surprise, fear, and disbelief because the doctor told them their baby had a lot of hair. At first, they thought it was normal, but when they saw her in the incubator, they were shocked by how much hair she had. Supatra’s hair covered almost her whole body, and even the doctors in Thailand had never seen someone like her.
Later on, doctors figured out that Natty had a very rare skin disease called Ambras syndrome. This condition is so uncommon that there have only been 50 cases like hers documented in the world since a long time ago.
Ambras syndrome causes excess body hair growth, sparing only the palms, soles, and mouth interior, likely due to a sudden DNA change.
When Natty was born, and her mom wanted to leave the hospital, the doctors didn’t want to let her go because they were worried she might leave her child behind. Sompon told the doctor that she would never abandon her child, no matter what. She said, “We are lucky that she was born into our family.”
Natty grew up in a loving family, but not everyone was understanding of her condition, and she had to deal with some unkindness from strangers and peers.
As Natty grew up, her face remained hidden behind thick hair due to her incurable Ambras syndrome. Regular methods like laser removal couldn’t slow down her hair growth. At school, she faced ridicule because of her unique appearance. Kids called her names like “wolf girl” and “monkey face.”
Natty, however, didn’t understand why they teased her, as she considered herself a normal girl with just a bit more hair. She stated, “It’s the way I am.”
Natty’s teacher, Kuljira Posaeng, revealed that other kids were initially scared of Natty’s appearance, making her early school days difficult. Over time, though, Natty proved she was just like any other student. Teachers described her as hardworking with good grades, and she eventually became one of the most popular kids at school.
Natty’s teachers said she was a lively girl who loved to sing, dance, and act. Her parents treated her just like any other kid, and they never made her feel like she was less important. They took her everywhere and weren’t embarrassed that she looked different from other children.
Later on, Natty found her love.
Natty has come to terms with her condition, understanding that there’s no cure for it. She decided to keep her body hair the way it naturally grew from the time she was born, only shaving her face when she became a teenager. As she grew older, her self-esteem and self-image became more important to her, and she also found love.
She shared: “It began from friendship, then we became a couple.” Their conversations brought her happiness, and being together was comfortable, with a love she didn’t anticipate: “It was a kind of love that I didn’t expect would happen to me.”
Natty later married her boyfriend, calling him “the love of my life.”
She also posted pictures with her lover, showing her face without facial hair. Some people thought she might have been cured, but her dad explained that she had chosen to shave her facial hair to reveal her new look. Now, her eyes, face, mouth, lips, and cheeks are visible, with only her forehead covered by her head’s hair.
Natty, who has found love and happiness, is determined to lead a positive life and continue making a beautiful impact on society. She believes that everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way, and she wants to inspire others to embrace their individuality and radiate their inner beauty.

During the Divorce My Husband Gave My Fur Baby to an Animal Shelter, Unaware It Would Leave Him Penniless
When my husband dumped my golden retriever, Bailey, at a shelter during our divorce, I was devastated. Little did he know, that cruel act would cost him dearly and unravel his carefully-hidden secrets.
Bailey wasn’t just a dog. She was my family, my lifeline through the storm of my marriage’s collapse. And when Adam tried to take her from me, he unleashed a chain of events he could never have seen coming.

Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, a bond where both people lift each other up. But with Adam, it felt like I was carrying the weight of two people. And his greed made it heavier every day.
When we first met, Adam was everything I thought I wanted. He was charming, thoughtful, and attentive. He even acted like he loved my dog, Bailey.
But once we were married, the cracks began to show.

At first, they were small things like refusing to pitch in for groceries, brushing off household chores, and grumbling about expenses for Bailey’s vet bills. But as time went on, his true nature revealed itself.
He was more interested in hoarding money than building a life together.
“Adam, Bailey needs her vaccinations,” I said one evening, holding a bill from the vet.
“Do we really need to spend so much on a dog?” he replied, barely looking up from his laptop.
“She’s not just a dog,” I shot back. “She’s family.”

“She’s your dog, Eliza,” he shrugged. “Not mine!”
That was Adam. Generous with words when he wanted something, but stingy with anything that required real effort.
When I filed for divorce, I thought I’d finally be free of his manipulative ways. But Adam wasn’t done being vindictive.
During the proceedings, he kicked me out of the house. The same place I’d helped maintain for years. And he even refused to let me take Bailey.

“PLEASE, GIVE ME BACK MY DOG!” I pleaded. “SHE’S MINE! SHE’S MY FAMILY!”
“I don’t care,” he said.
“You can’t keep her,” I cried. “She’s been with me since before we got married! This isn’t fair!”
“Too bad,” he said coldly. “She’s on my property now.”
I begged him to reconsider, but his heart was as cold as stone.
I couldn’t believe this was the same man who’d helped me take Bailey to the vet when I found her on the street. I remember everything about that night very well.
The night that changed my life and introduced me to Adam.

The rain poured in sheets, soaking everything in sight as I hurried through the park on my way home. Then I heard it: a faint whimper.
I stopped, squinting through the downpour, and saw a small, trembling figure under a bench.
“Oh my God,” I whispered, crouching down.
A tiny golden retriever puppy, drenched and shivering, stared up at me with pleading eyes.
“Hey, sweetheart,” I murmured, gently scooping her up.
Her body was cold and frail, and my heart broke for her. I didn’t know what to do. I stood there in the rain with no idea how to help her.
That’s when Adam appeared.

“Need some help?” a voice called out, startling me.
I turned to see a man jogging toward me, holding an umbrella. His hair was plastered to his forehead from the rain, but he smiled warmly, his gaze flicking to the puppy in my arms.
“She’s freezing,” I said, my voice shaky. “I don’t know where to take her.”
Adam didn’t hesitate. “Come on, let’s get her to a vet. My car’s just over there.”
I hesitated for a moment, but the urgency of the situation and his kind demeanor convinced me.
“Okay,” I whispered. “Thank you.”

He held the umbrella over us as we ran to his car, where I carefully settled the puppy on my lap.
During the drive, Adam chatted to calm my nerves, asking about the puppy and where I’d found her.
At the vet clinic, we worked together to get Bailey the care she needed. The vet examined her and gave her some warm blankets.
“She’s malnourished, but nothing a bit of love and care won’t fix,” the vet reassured us.

Adam turned to me with a grin. “Looks like you’ve got yourself a new friend.”
I smiled back, relieved. “I think you’re right.”
After the visit, Adam drove me home. As we pulled up to my apartment, he turned to me and said, “If you need anything for her like supplies, advice, or anything else… just give me a call, okay?”
He handed me his number, and I thanked him for his help.
Over the next few weeks, Adam and I stayed in touch.

He checked in on Bailey, offering tips on puppy care and even stopping by to drop off supplies. It didn’t take long for our friendship to grow into something more.
When we started dating, he made it clear he adored Bailey. Or at least that’s what I thought.
He played fetch with her, snapped photos, and even talked about how much fun it would be to have a family someday. I was smitten, both with him and the idea of building a life together.
We got married the following year.

I moved into his house with Bailey, thinking I’d found my happily ever after. At first, everything seemed perfect. But as the months passed, I started noticing cracks in Adam’s charming facade.
With time, I realized he was not the man he’d pretended to be.
It’s not like I didn’t try to save our marriage. I did. I confronted him so many times, and he’d make empty promises to change, but nothing ever improved.
By the time I filed for divorce, I was emotionally drained. Leaving felt like my only option.

And then he kicked me out, refusing to give Bailey back to me. What I didn’t know was that he’d already decided to get rid of her.
He took Bailey to a shelter and dropped her there. I couldn’t believe it when he told me that.
“How could you do this?” I yelled at him over the phone. “Are you being for real, Adam?”
He just laughed and hung up, unaware of how he’d soon regret his decision.

Over the next few days, I couldn’t stop picturing her curled up in a corner, wondering why I wasn’t there. I made it my mission to find my little girl, no matter what I had to go through.
I scoured every animal shelter within a hundred miles, calling, emailing, and visiting in person, armed with pictures of her sweet golden face.
Each day without her felt like another layer of heartbreak, but I refused to give up. When it became clear that the search was beyond my reach, I hired a private investigator, John.

“Lost pets aren’t my usual line of work,” he said when we first met. “But I’ve got a soft spot for dogs. I’ll find her for you.”
Weeks stretched into what felt like an eternity. I tried to stay hopeful, but each passing day without news felt heavier than the last. Then, one day, my phone rang.
“Ma’am,” John said, “I found your dog!”
My breath caught. “You… you found her? Where is she?”

“She’s safe, but that’s not all,” he continued. “There are some facts that will help you win this divorce and leave your husband with nothing. Listen to me carefully.”
I gripped the phone tightly, my heart racing.
He outlined his plan to help me get Bailey back and hinted at something much bigger brewing beneath the surface. But for now, his focus was on reuniting me with my fur baby.

“The shelter’s an hour away,” he said. “They have her on record, but she’s been adopted. You’ll need to talk to them to get the details on the new owners.”
I didn’t waste a second. Grabbing my keys, I drove straight to the shelter, hope and anxiety swirling inside me.
When I arrived, the woman at the front desk handed me a file. Inside was a photo of Bailey, her soulful eyes staring back at me.

“She was adopted last week by a couple,” the woman explained. “We can’t give you their address, but we can pass along a message if you’d like.”
“Please,” I said, my voice trembling. “Tell them I’d like to meet and explain everything.”
A few days later, I got a call from the couple. They agreed to meet me at a coffee shop, and when I arrived, my nerves were in overdrive.

Sitting across from them, I poured out my story, my voice breaking as I recounted how Bailey had come into my life and how much she meant to me.
“She’s not just a dog,” I said, tears pooling in my eyes. “She’s my family.”
The couple listened intently, glancing at each other with knowing looks. Finally, the woman reached across the table and touched my hand.
“We can see how much you love her,” she said softly. “And as much as we’ve grown attached to her, we know she belongs with you.”

I was speechless. Gratitude and relief washed over me as they handed over Bailey’s leash and paperwork.
When I reunited with Bailey, her tail wagged furiously, and she barked as if to say, “What took you so long?”
I hugged her tightly, promising her that she’d never feel abandoned again.
But the surprises didn’t stop there.
During my phone call with John, he told me he’d uncovered a gold mine of deceit after digging into Adam’s finances.

Turns out, Adam had been hiding assets during the divorce, including a luxury home he’d purchased under his mother’s name to keep it off the marital records.
I hired an accountant to review his financials, and the findings were damning. The down payment for the house came from our joint marital account, and the mortgage was being paid from our marital funds.
When we submitted all the documents and facts to the court, my husband called. “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! Let me live my life!” he spat. But I didn’t listen to him. I just told him that I had turned on the voice recorder on my phone and he hung up.

The judge didn’t take kindly to his attempts at deception. He was penalized heavily, and I was awarded a significant portion of the house’s value.
Guess what did I do with the settlement? I bought a cozy little house with a big yard for Bailey.
She now spends her days chasing squirrels and rolling in the grass, while I just look at her with pride and gratitude.
Every night, as she curls up beside me, her steady breathing reminds me of what truly matters. Even when life unravels, love and a little resilience can stitch it back together stronger than before.
