Bob, a medium-sized puppy with small ears and oil-black eyes, was doomed to die. The unfortunate canine was desolate, with his fur tangled between wires, lying in a corner, motionless, forgotten by all. His barking saved his life.
The situation of this puppy became known to the non-profit pro-animal organization, Proyecto 4 Patas. Once they received the alert, they immediately got down to work to get the little animal out of its predicament. Besides, he was blind and hungry for food, but even more for love.
Unlike the other animals that are found in the corners, dejected and terrified like Bob, with the arrival of the volunteers his facial expression completely changed: he seemed happy as perhaps he had not been in a long time.
The incident occurred in a sector near the Argentine city of Morón, west of Buenos Aires, the capital of the southern country, where this organization operates. Thanks to the dedicated work of its volunteers, Bob is in good health and completely happy with a new family that supports him.
One of the volunteers named Germán Caro took charge and went to the indicated place. Upon arrival, his eyes could not believe the deplorable state in which the little animal was, so he photographed it to attract attention and make it visible on their social networks.
There are no words that can describe the state Bob was in.
“When we rescued him from the street and he did not look like a dog at all. This is how immense the injustice was committed against this innocent animal,”it reads next to the image of Bob.
Both rescuers wrapped him with a cloth to try to alleviate the pain he felt as a result of the multiple lacerations on his body, especially at the waist and legs. Once they managed to get him off the ground, they put him in a vehicle headed for the pet shelter.
There they examined him in detail to rule out any other injury. In fact, there were some small cuts on his back caused by the wire fence on which he was found, and from which he was released very slowly, taking care not to hurt him more.
“Among his fur he had branches, wires. Also, he could not stand, much less walk. Of course, we managed to get him to eat a little, drink water and let him rest for a while. You could tell that he had not done it for a long time,” said Germán.
During the examination, the doctors also discovered his blindness: he had very advanced cataracts, in addition to the various fractures that did not allow him to walk. Despite the horror he experienced, thanks to the rescue he is recovering, little by little, but satisfactorily.
Bob has already begun to walk, after months of physical therapy. He was also operated on for his ophthalmological condition. He has gained a lot of weight and looks full of life.
The best thing is that he began to regain his lost confidence in humans when a young woman named Nicole, as soon as she saw him on social networks, fell in love and adopted him.
