Somehow, she crawled into that secluded place and survived for three long weeks. Maneuvering through the park, scavenging for food, she endured scratches on her hind legs and a broken spine. It was a curious thing that despite her evident distress, no one reached out to a doctor. They merely offered her some food and walked away, leaving our hearts feeling colder.
When the doctor finally examined her, it was disheartening news. The optimal window for therapy had passed, and her chance to walk seemed lost. A single phone call could have changed her fate, but, unfortunately, none came to her rescue.
It took a vigilant student reporting to the Animal Shelter about her presence in the park and desperate need for help. After an investigation, they discovered she had been there for an extended period, surviving on the generosity of strangers who offered her food.
The rescue team raced against time, but alas, they couldn’t reach her in time. Undeterred, they persisted in their efforts to give Bella, the unfortunate pup, a new lease on life.
Bella’s journey involved an increased diet, supplements, medications, and IVs. Despite her physical challenges, she radiated beauty and love, though her eyes betrayed a profound sadness.
Miraculously, her bones fused without the need for surgery, and her scratches nearly healed. A compassionate foster volunteer decided to bring her home to join other fostered dogs.
“We care for other pets here too. This little guy asked us to join him. His antics brought smiles to everyone, and this dog would become Bella’s new companion,” shared her foster.
From that moment forward, Bella became an integral part of their family. They shared joys, accompanied each other, and found solace together. Her name is Bella, and she is now genuinely content.
