When passers-by passed a poor and defeated dog, collapsed on the sidewalk, they were moved. But even that suffering was not enough for them to do anything for her. Seeing it big, they feel scared and move away.
Who would have thought that such a vulnerable and distressed coat could cause any harm?
This unfortunate story happened in the town of Karditsa, Greece. Only when a neighbor finally reports the sad case to Diasozo Animal Rescue volunteers , Markella , who goes by the name of the dog, regains hope.
The shelter’s founder Ermioni Giannakou, along with other rescuers, Katerina and Fotini, ran to see what they could do for the hairy child, but nothing could prepare them for what they saw. see and learn later.
In agony, she spent more than 12 hours waiting for help, she gave up…
Being injured, she simply fell to the ground and closed her little eyes. Then they realized that her pain was not only because of her injuries, but because they broke her heart.
Residents said that Markella actually had a family that she always loved. But they saw how from a car they threw her into the street. They even witnessed how she wandered around, approaching each vehicle as if she desperately wanted to find her owner.
Her family decided to throw her away as garbage and she was devastated
And as if that wasn’t traumatic enough for the poor thing, she was hit on the spot by another car, leaving her with a painful fracture that prevented her from walking.
When Ermioni began to pet her, the dog was so faint that she seemed lifeless.
So he immediately scooped her up in his arms, despite her large size, and rushed her to an emergency vet.
He had several very painful injuries, in addition to a serious fracture in his little finger. She worried that even though they did everything to save her, and she recovered from it, putting her up for adoption would be one of the hardest things. No one wants to take in a big, older dog.
“We could see how much his depressed heart suffered. That broke our hearts.”
Markella’s fracture soon healed and she was taken for her first ride, but something else completely shook them.
She made a move to look for someone, it was as if she still had the hope of finding her family, the same one that despised her and threw her to her fate. It’s amazing what a dog’s heart is like! Capable of loving, of forgiving, of forgetting…
What they feared so much happened, days, weeks and months passed, and they couldn’t get anyone to adopt her, but they would never give up.
Her great efforts paid off and an angel from the UK appeared to take her home forever.
Today we can tell you the beautiful news that Markella has it all: a wonderful house, all the green space in the world, loving owners, and even many canine siblings with whom she plays endlessly.
She is the darling of her home… See in this video how she is now!:
