Kiara Ijzendoorn and her family were driving down in Crete, Greece for a nice holiday.
What they did not expect was to find a dog lying in the middle of the road not being able to react. The family immediately realized there was something wrong as the pooch was barely able to move.
“His leg was totally paralyzed. He had a big bump on his back that appeared as his broken spine,” Ijzendoorn worriedly said.
It turned out the the dog had been living in a nearby barn, all by himself, completely neglected. Ijzendoorn kept visiting the dog in the barn, and despite his physical ailments, the doggie was always very happy to see her.
Ijzendoorn fell in love with the dog and decided to take the next big step. She took him to a local rescue organization where a vet medically treated him. And guess the big news! Dog got officially adopted by Ijzendoorn.
Sadly, the vet determined that the dog had most likely been abused. The new owner named the dog Fos, which means ‘shining’ in Greek, perhaps as a promise for a brighter future. Ijzendoorn and her family flew back to Holland and took their new pet with them.
Even if Fos is still scared of older men and cats, today dog is doing so much better. He is gradually recovering from a broken spine. Ijzendoorn has a new best friend, while Fos is shining with happiness.
Never miss the possibility to adopt an animal!It is one of the greatest act you can do to fulfill your life and not only.
