When Animal Aid got a heartbreaking call about a dying dog in the middle of the road, they rushed over. They tried to stay positive.
Despite the fact that she was dying, the rescue group was aware that many of their dogs had been in such bad shape and had survived. But this dog… she wasn’t even awake. Oh, poor baby!
The vet and his technician didn’t hesitate to try and save her. They immediately evaluated her at the rescue center. She remained semi-conscious. They found no broken bones during their examination of her, but her neurological exam yielded poor results. What did this mean for the poor puppy? Will she be able to make it? They weren’t sure at this point, but they refused to give up on her!
Sona was the name given to the little puppy.
Sona suffered from a serious head injury. The wound was small, but they cared for it. They then inserted an IV and administered vital nutrients and antibiotics.
The wonderful woman volunteer tried to get Sona to eat by the third day. She tried, but she couldn’t swallow properly.
By the sixth day, Sona was able to swallow better although she still couldn’t hold her head up on her own.
On the tenth day, Sona moved on her own. She pretty much swam around. The little girl had a long way to go, which was tragically obvious. She was, however, more alert and determined.
While Sona’s neurological injuries were severe, they were possibly correctable. This little girl was full of tenacity. She was an inspiration to everyone around her!
In six weeks, Sona took her first steps upright. They were so harsh with her! But she refused to give up!
Several weeks later– this is Sona now! She is still shaky, but she is incredibly strong. She is content with her foster family. She is eager to play. And, of course, the drive to cuddle!
Did we mention that Sona adores kittens? YUP!
Sona is the epitome of strength and we admire her and her rescuers deeply. Watch her incredible story by clicking on the video below. Thank you for never giving up on this sweet girl, Animal Aid!
