Fahrudin Caki Bravo’s encounter with Maddox, the injured dog, was a profound moment of compassion and determination. Seeing Maddox lying helpless by the roadside in the rain, Fahrudin sensed the dog’s despair but refused to give up on him.

“I saw he was suffering. I asked him, ‘Can we make a deal? Don’t give up, and I’ll help you. Deal?’” Fahrudin recounted, describing his initial interaction with Maddox.

With immediate action, Fahrudin rushed Maddox to the vet where the extent of his injuries, including potential internal bleeding, was assessed. Maddox faced a critical situation, and the decision for spinal surgery loomed large. Despite the slim odds, Fahrudin and the veterinary team pressed on, determined to give Maddox a chance at life.

The surgery was risky, with a surgeon offering only a 10% chance of success. Yet, Maddox emerged from the operation, albeit with uncertain prospects. The days following the surgery were tense, with initial signs pointing to a challenging recovery ahead.

Six days post-surgery brought discouraging news—Maddox had suffered severe spinal cord damage, likely leaving him permanently paralyzed. However, Fahrudin and the team remained steadfast, determined to support Maddox in every possible way.

Miraculously, after 16 days, Maddox showed signs of progress. He managed to stand on his own, a moment of triumph despite the odds. While his journey to recovery is ongoing, Maddox’s resilience and Fahrudin’s unwavering support are a testament to the power of hope and determination in the face of adversity.
