One afternoon, a couple driving near an intersection noticed an unusual dog by the roadside. It struggled to move, dragging its hind legs behind it. Something about the dog’s condition didn’t sit right with them. Concerned, they turned their car around and went back. As they approached, the dog crawled toward them, revealing its swollen belly. To their shock, they realized it was not only paralyzed but also pregnant.
The dog was in a heartbreaking state. Its hind legs were immobile, forcing it to drag its body with its front legs. Large wounds covered its body, likely caused by this painful effort. The heavy belly made its movements even more challenging. The woman from the couple quickly brought it food. Seeing the food, the dog eagerly dragged itself closer, eating in a hurry as if it had been starving for days. The couple noticed its injuries were not recent, speculating about what might have caused them. Was it a car accident, or something even worse?
After feeding the dog, the couple faced a difficult decision. Its condition was critical, and its unborn puppies needed urgent attention. The woman decided to take the dog to a veterinary hospital for a check-up. The vet examined its injuries and conducted an ultrasound to check on the puppies. To everyone’s relief, the puppies were alive, but the situation was dire. The dog’s paralysis was caused by a thoracic fracture, and it could not give birth naturally. A C-section was the only option to save both the mother and her puppies.
Despite her worries, the woman decided to go ahead with the surgery. The operation was long and complicated. When the puppies were delivered, they showed no signs of breathing and had turned dark green due to being stuck in the womb for too long. After emergency care, all five puppies began to breathe. They were weak but alive, a small miracle.
The mother dog underwent spay surgery during the procedure. Although she was weak, she instinctively cared for her puppies, attempting to feed them despite her exhaustion. The woman took the puppies home to care for them, feeding them every two hours and keeping them warm. She also prepared nutritious meals to help the mother dog recover and produce milk for her newborns.
Thanks to the couple’s kindness, the dog and her puppies survived a near-impossible situation. Each puppy represented a life saved, born against all odds. The mother dog, though frail, remained devoted to her puppies, inspiring everyone with her strength and resilience.
