The mother of a collapsed, comatose puppy told us everything we needed to know. She held her anxiety in her shoulders, in her mouth, and most of all in her eyes, which were filled with the greatest sorrow–a mother watching her baby dying. But her posture alerted neighbors to look more closely at the grey mound in the grey soil and saw the little one still breathing.
He twitched unconsciously. The little one was in critical condition and we hurried him to the hospital, and treated him for life-threatening hypothermia (cold), pain, and gave him IV drips to stabilize him after shock. He had no fractures but we cleaned and dressed several puncture wounds on his neck.
He was still comatose when we lay him bundled in a basket, and he slept through the night.
In the morning, we were delighted to find his eyes open: he had woken up from the coma! Now the next task would be to get him to eat–if he would eat we knew he had a good chance of surviving.
Watch life return to little Snuggler, and his return home to his busy siblings, and his beautiful mom and dad.
A wᴏman cᴏmmented:”This really made my day seeing this. Anytime we as people can help each other out or help out a animal in need it makes life feel so beautiful. This is what life is all about helping one another out. We need more of this in this world.”
Anᴏther replied:”The young women, and male rescuers should be commended for their compassion. When I see how the pup was treated ,with dignity and love its easy to see why the puppy recovered so quickly. Thank you for all that was done for the pupppy.”
One said ᴏn YᴏᴜTᴜbe:”This is so so heartbreaking I wish this world would just be at peace with all things living. To see another living being like this is so hurtful. Thank God for people like this who have a true genuine heart. This is what life should be about helping all”
