Dan Targonsk is a dedicated postman who has always felt a strong connection to animals. Over the years, he has gotten used to encountering all sorts of pets on his way to work. Sometimes it is a kitten lying on the mailbox, but on other occasions he encounters puppies that are in danger of their lives and need his immediate help. One of the cases that touched him the most was the one of a boxer dog named Kuperus.

The dog was found in the streets of Philadelphia, USA.

Dan found her tied to a tree in the middle of an extremely hot day. She looked very thin and did not even have a little water or food to stand the test of time. As he got closer, he understood that it was something much more serious. The dog was very dirty and had an alarming head wound that appeared to have been made with a sharp object.

The dog had already broken nine teeth before being rescued.

Despite having to follow a strict workflow, Dan decided to take the time to help her out. The first thing he did was get some water to relieve himself a bit and then he contacted the rescuers from Boxer Rescue.

It was there that they decided to call her Kuperus and within minutes they realized that she was one of the loveliest dogs in the entire history of the shelter. Her situation was delicate, so she was rushed to the operating room.

“We closed the deep wound on her head and put in a drain. Her jaw was also broken. We managed to stabilize her.”

Kuperus’ radiant personality soon reached everyone’s ears. Many people came to see her and were deeply moved by her strong desire to live despite her arduous past.

“What she wants most in the world is contact and affection. It never ceases to impress me that it is so. Even after a human hurt her so much.”

She managed to recover in a temporary home and after a few months she was ready to move to a permanent one. She now has a loving family that will take care of her and whose main purpose is to help her forget those difficult days that she had to go through.

The postman usually visits the dog and the beautiful Kuperus runs to meet him with great excitement.
