When she saw that vulnerable little creature dumped in the garbage, her heart broke in two. Lifting him into her arms, she knew she was facing the most pitiful and heartbreaking case in all her years of rescuing him.
This is the story of the cruelest abandonment imaginable, set against the heroic efforts of a humble rescuer and a dedicated veterinarian who would never give up to save an innocent life.
It was thrown by its heartless owner in a filthy garbage heap
He was able to realize the state of seriousness of the puppy. So she immediately took him to the vet with a faint thread of hope, she suspected the worst.
The little mongrel puppy would not stop shaking and had a fever
He had contracted a very serious contagious and dangerous infection from having spent so many days in the middle of the filth.
The men were in pain with their deep, piercing howls, which only revealed how much he was suffering.
Each whimper and her faint pitiful sounds pierced her heart
The vet confessed that he was seriously worried because it was just a puppy, and frankly he doubted that he would get over it . But faith is the last thing to be lost, and intensive treatment was immediately started.
But the pain increased more and more, and the pup’s suffering was more than evident.
“I cried a lot seeing the pup crying like this and kept praying for him to recover,” the rescuer said.
Between antibiotics, medications and a direct route to the vein, they took extreme care.
The next four eternal hours were crucial in determining if he would be saved.
A lamp was then placed on him to stabilize his body temperature. The efforts paid off and the puppy began to show small signs of improvement.
Now the worst seemed to be over, and at least his life had been saved. She had to take him to his home to, with a lot of patience and love, offer him all the necessary care. However, the man was very afraid of not knowing how to do it well. He had a great responsibility on his hands.
He kept him warm 24 hours a day, caressing him, pampering him, feeding him, telling him that he would be much better soon…
He had a serious heart deficiency and everything was more uphill. But there is nothing that cannot be achieved with love. So she suddenly got better, she couldn’t believe that just a few days before the puppy was in pain.
His little face moves even the hardest heart
Who could leave this little ball of tenderness thrown to its fate in the middle of the garbage as if it were a useless thing? Really, these cases make us deny humanity.
Those little eyes told him that every effort was worth it
The little dog surprised them by his strength and his will to live. Although he was trembling, and his condition was delicate, they would never give up to save him until the end.
And although the puppy was improving little by little, he couldn’t stop thinking about all those other puppies that would be in his same condition fighting for their lives in unthinkable places, without anyone doing anything for them.
He was already able to walk and chased him everywhere just so he would play with him.
And he kept thinking about the dark heart of its owner who was capable of throwing such a creature away.
Finally, the puppy had made it. But now came the bittersweet part of all: the parting. He couldn’t keep it because he didn’t have the conditions to take care of it, and so he could have more time to rescue other puppies. However, he dedicated himself to finding the best home for her and that was it.
It broke her heart to leave him but it was what was best for him. Watch when he meets his new owner:
This story does nothing but remind us of the millions of animals that are abandoned and mistreated on a daily basis.
This story should encourage us to continue in the fight for defenseless animals. We sincerely wish that all abandoned puppies have endings like this.
