It’s not too often that I come across a story about a dog that is just heartwrenching. Seeing puppies suffering is just depressing.
Many times, I wish I could just reach out through the screen and do something to help them, but I can’t.
The world is a complicated place and we can’t even begin to comprehend just how cruel it can be sometimes.
Despite that, we move on in hope for better days where we can all collectively work together to help all animals have a better life.
In this story, we will talk about a rescuer who came across a severely injured puppy and gave him a new chance at life.
He Was Suffering So Much
When rescuers came across a severely injured puppy lying near a trash can, they just couldn’t believe the condition he was in.
It was just shocking. They asked around to see if anyone knew what happened to him. A nearby worker said that somebody brought him there.
She tried to give the dog a piece of bread to see if he would eat, but he was completely unresponsive.
Now that they realized that the situation was urgent, they rushed the puppy to a veterinarian clinic to see if they could save him.
The first vet simply said that the puppy was beyond his ability to save, so they rushed him to a different one who had more resources and could help him.
They did what they could to stabilize his condition. An X-ray revealed that he had a skull fracture, and there was a strong chance that he just wouldn’t make it.
The veterinarians asked the rescuers to make a really difficult choice. They could either put him to sleep or hope for a miracle.
A Huge Miracle
It was a hard one, but they were going to do what they could to help him survive. After about three weeks, they noticed that his condition had improved a bit.
However, he could still not walk properly. Apparently, he was hit in the head with some sort of blunt object, which caused the fracture.
It damaged his cerebellum, and that was causing a lot of problems for him. He was sent to a rehabilitation center.
While a complete recovery is impossible, they set out to help him live a normal life. The puppy was putting in effort and trying his best.
His rescuers were so proud of him. They decided to name him Yoko. After realizing that he was making impressive progress, the vets encouraged his rescuers even more to continue.
Small Steps To Recovery
This was very good news. Another bit of interesting information that came to light was that this puppy’s previous owner was detained by authorities and questioned as to why he injured his dog.
He did it out of frustration for tearing his shoe and he claimed that he was sorry. While that doesn’t matter now, as the damage was done, he will face consequences for his actions.
Meanwhile, Yoko has changed completely. His weight went up, he made an impressive recovery, and is now able to walk almost normally.
His rescuers are always there for him and are trying to make sure that he is enjoying his new life after recovery.
While we don’t know what happens next or if he is going to be placed on an adoption list, I am just happy to see a miracle in action that helped this puppy recover from his trauma.
He is just so happy to be with his rescuers, and I couldn’t be happier to hear that he was going to be okay.
