Frozen Ordeal: Shivering and Stuck in a -2°C Sewer, a Desperate Dog Seeks Help from Bystanders

On her way to work, she was accidentally discovered by a man, trapped under a sewer by the roadside. For some unknown reason, she had to crawl into the sewers, her long fur soaked and covered in mud. Shivering from cold and hunger in the freezing -2°C weather, she showed signs of exhaustion and fever.

The man remembered us and immediately contacted us. Within 20 minutes, we arrived and used assistance tools to rescue her from the sewers. Kind passersby stopped to help, and within 10 minutes, she was lifted. Her leg was injured, preventing her from standing and walking immediately. With tired eyes, she looked around, expressing gratitude.

Swiftly, we placed her in the car and rushed to the hospital. Using a dry towel, we kept her warm, and after a brief rest, she became more alert. Exiting the bus, we provided her with food and water before taking her to the hospital for a health assessment. The doctor promptly examined her wounds, determining they were only skin deep, fortunately not affecting bones or internal organs.

However, her weight was uncertain, likely due to days of hunger. After a bath to remove mud, she obediently followed instructions. Post-bath, she went to the doctor’s room for wound care and then was sent to rest. Due to fever, the doctor administered medication and water to aid recovery.

The next morning, she woke up at 9 a.m., having had a restful night. Her body temperature decreased, showing improvement. Despite the lingering sadness in her eyes, we remained by her side, offering encouragement and mental health support.

Six days later, she showed significant improvement, and we took her to a play area. After almost a week of treatment, her health almost fully recovered. Running and jumping joyfully in the hospital courtyard, the sadness on her face disappeared. She felt rejuvenated and ready for a better life.

Twelve days later, the doctor checked her health again. If stable, she would be discharged. Fifteen minutes later, she left the hospital, and we brought her home. Making new friends in the family, she was welcomed by others, despite less than ideal conditions. We committed to caring for her, hoping she always finds happiness and good things in her new life.
