Many injured stray dogs living on the streets encounter people who want to help them, but don’t always have the resources.
Scooter, the puppy, had suffered a serious injury and someone had tried to help him, but he was unable to complete the therapy for whatever reason.
She was in very poor condition when she was discovered on the streets of Kolkata, India. Her hind legs were bandaged, making it impossible for her to move, and one of her numerous wounds had turned septic and she was being eaten by maggots.
When the good Samaritans discovered her, they assumed she had been mauled by another dog.
Scooter was gently picked up and sent to an animal hospital where she was treated for two fractured hind legs and septic wounds. This poor dog’s road to recovery was long.
Scooter was finally ready to join a family after months of treatment.
According to Paw My Gosh, Alexandra Gade cared for Scooter for months before moving her to Virginia to live with her new family, who nicknamed her Dobby.
Dobby suffered a lot as a puppy while living on the streets and now uses the scars to show it. By sharing this story, she can help us honor the animal heroes who rescued her, cared for her, and ultimately adopted her.
In the video below, you can see Dobby’s incredible recovery.
