While driving on a flooded road, a man suddenly came across a heartbreaking sight: a dog lying motionless on the side of the road, barely visible through the heavy rain. The sight was heartbreaking—the dog was alone and helpless, seemingly resigned to its fate. The man, with a deep sense of compassion, knew that he could not simply drive away and leave the dog there to suffer in pain.
He turned around and returned to where the dog lay. As he got closer, the dog’s condition became clearer. He lay in a puddle of water, exhausted and clearly in pain. “Looking into his eyes, I saw the pain and despair in his eyes,” he recalled. “He was saying, ‘I can’t take it anymore!’” The dog was shaking, wet, and clearly in pain, making the sight even more devastating.
The man approached gently, cautiously, knowing that the dog might react negatively to the pain. Despite the rain and the dog’s dire condition, he began to speak to him in a gentle voice, trying to reassure and give him hope. “I asked him, ‘Can we try together? Don’t give up! I’ll help you if you don’t bite me out of pain, okay?’” His words were a mix of encouragement and reassurance, meant to soothe the dog and build trust.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, he carefully picked up the dog and put him in his car. On the way to the nearest veterinary clinic, both of them faced an uncertain future. When they arrived, the veterinary team immediately assessed the dog’s condition. X-rays showed that the dog had suffered severe injuries, including a fractured spine and signs of internal bleeding. The doctors were concerned about the dog’s chances of survival, but there was still a glimmer of hope.
The rescue team was notified and came to assist. “We received a call that the dog was lying on the side of the road in extreme pain and gasping for breath. We weren’t even sure if he would survive,” said a rescue team representative. Their initial goal was to stabilize the dog and assess the extent of his injuries.
Deciding whether to operate or just provide pain relief was a big challenge. With such severe spinal injuries, this was not an easy decision. After consulting with experts, the team decided to proceed with surgery, hoping that this would be the dog’s best chance to regain a sense of purpose in life.
During the long and complicated surgery, the dog seemed strangely calm, as if he understood the situation and trusted the team around him. After several hours of surgery, he was transferred to the recovery area for close monitoring. The post-operative period is crucial, and doctors hope that he will be able to regain at least some of his mobility.
In the days following the surgery, the dog’s condition remained precarious. The medical team kept checking his response to see if he could regain spinal function. Despite the severity of his injuries, the medical team remained hopeful for his recovery, drawing on their experience with similar cases in the past.
After 16 days of hope and anxiety, the dog’s story began to take a positive turn. He began to stand on his feet, an important milestone. Although he could not walk yet, this progress was a sign of the dog’s strength and resilience.
As the story of his rescue and recovery spread on social media, many comments from the community appeared, expressing their emotion and gratitude for the actions of the man and the rescue team:
