For the past three days on my way to the freeway I noticed a small dog on the side of the road that was obviously dead. Like a lot of people when I am driving and see an animal that has been killed up ahead, I look away. After all, I don't want to see the poor thing that lost its life in that condition.
I will NEVER look away again. I will face the unpleasant task of looking at them to make sure there are no signs of life and even pull over to make sure. I will never look the other way again.
Today I was home, just changed into my comfy PJs to sit down and work on the computer, when my neighbor Inga Barks knocked on the door. She had been on her way to work when she looked over at what she assumed was a dead dog on the side of the road. Only this one lifted its head. Inga made a U-turn and went back to make sure she really saw what she thought.
Yes, indeed, the dog was alive!! This is the SAME "dead dog" I had passed on the road for the last THREE days and looked away so I wouldn't have to look at it.
Never look away.
This is our newest rescue, the "dead dog" on the side of the road. She wasn't moving at all, only lifting her head up. We took her to Dr. Slaton, WVAH, where she currently is now resting and waiting for medical treatment. She has a shattered pelvis, not just broken in one or two places. Her back left leg needs to be amputated. She has obvious nerve damage. Although we are not sure of the extent of the injuries exactly, we are hopeful that her tragic story will have a happy ending.
We were not expecting to take on another medical dog and we are in great need of donations to help this girl get the medical care she needs. If you could spare $10, $20, $40, it will go a long way towads her care. She has a long recovery ahead of her. Let's show her that we will NEVER look the other way again!
THANK YOU for caring about this girl enough to donate!
