It is well known that stray dogs suffer from the precariousness of a destination where hunger and disease are constantly part of their lives. When a stray puppy is injured, either due to fights between them, or due to the irresponsible actions of man, they do not have the necessary medical attention. Many times their wounds become contaminated causing them such pain that they can only wait for death.
A wound not treated in time can cause death. Our protagonist is a little furry who was seriously injured, managed to drag himself to a stranger’s house where the stairs were his only refuge to wait for the tragic end.
The property owner saw the pup in dire condition and quickly called Animal Aid to come to his rescue.
The puppy was rescued from a very low-income area so it was difficult for anyone to give him the necessary attention.
When help arrived, the puppy somehow sensed that they would watch over his well-being, and, without thinking, he fell into the arms of the man who would become his ‘guardian angel’.
The puppy was taken to the sanctuary where medical personnel treated his wound and hydrated him through an intravenous line . The serum contained various antibiotics and pain relievers that would help control the pain.
The staff set out to clean the wound that was infected, removing all the dead skin and then wrapping the area with gauze to ensure a quick and satisfactory recovery.
The staff never imagined how deep the wound was, so the puppy had suffered for a long time. If help had not arrived, the poor dog would have experienced a silent death.
They decided to name the puppy Jupiter.
Despite the puppy’s difficult situation, he continued to try to fight for his life. Little by little he showed great improvement, causing great happiness to his rescuers. The puppy ate very little, so it was very satisfying to see him eat in the arms of his handlers.
It took six weeks for the sweet little dog to fully recover and captivate everyone with his energy and endless joy. If it had not been for that man who took pity and called the right people, the puppy’s fate would have been tragically different.
It was necessary to make several cures for it to heal completely.
Today Jupiter is fully recovered. Due to his complicated medical history and age, he will not be adopted. He will spend the rest of his life in the sanctuary sharing with other puppies, who, like him, were rescued and are enjoying a new life.
Help us share Jupiter’s story so that everyone can see this incredible gesture of love that ended up saving a puppy from death.
