Unfortunately, the fate of many puppies on the streets is highly uncertain. And our hearts shrink to imagine that not only loneliness, but the most deplorable conditions awaits them , without a single soul stopping to help them.
It was the heartbreaking scene that Pía, a merciful soul who lives in Argentina, encountered when, on Christmas Eve, she saw this puppy under a bridge on the verge of death.
“I cried because I couldn’t believe no one had helped him before,” Pia said of finding him.
She saw him hanging around near a friend’s house in Buenos Aires, with a case of scabies so chronic that it caused immediate repulsion . As a consequence, no one ever approached him… Except Pia!
The poor thing was obviously sick and covered in sores, simply waiting for the end of his days. But Pía, passionate about animals, knew that she had to act. She immediately took him to the vet, but the prognosis was clear.
“I knew I wouldn’t make it through the night,” Pia said.
But she wasn’t about to give up, and of course he wasn’t either. She stayed physically by her side for the next 48 hours , never imagining the miracle that she would shortly witness.
“It was very hard for both of us, I left everything to make it okay. In those 3 days he lost a kilo, he did not eat anything. I only gave him water every 3 hours to hydrate him so that he wouldn’t die », says the admirable woman.
«I brought him to my house and I was already sure that he was going to die TWICE, but no… He fighting, that’s why his name: HERCULES».
«He fought with me, I also got up and cried and was by his side. So we did it together actually. And one day he suddenly stood up and started walking, he got tired quickly, but the results were seen. And yes, the truth is, I cried, I cried like a fool , “says Pía.
And in 10 days incredibly beautiful and shiny fur grew, and soon the two witnessed a true miracle:
From there, his rescuer relates that everything was good for Hercules. His transformation wrought by his incredible fighting spirit, but above all by Pia’s infinite love, is something you don’t see every day.
«He is a very cuddly dog, he loves to be in arms. When I had to put him up for adoption, I just couldn’t. I kept it.”
And how could he get rid of this brave warrior?
“He showed me that he wanted to live. I got tired, but he kept eating, he kept looking at me with those little eyes.
“As they changed, they had another shine, they looked at me and it was a grateful look… Hercules is a MIRACLE!”, concludes this heroine.
Currently, Hercules shares the most beautiful adventures with his adoptive mother from whom he never separates. You can see more of his day-to-day life on his Instagram account @Herculesysubanda.
This is how Hercules celebrated his last Christmas… He looks unrecognizable, the miracles of love are impressive!
