With a band of crimson encircling his neck, he bore the physical reminder of past captivity. Each stride he took was accompanied by a tormenting ache stemming from his lengthy chains. His form was clothed in wounds inflicted by the fangs of rabid creatures, emitting an unmistakable fragrance of decaying flesh.
In the midst of his immense suffering, Isumu’s eyes continued to glow with a flicker of vitality, demonstrating his inherent capacity to feel fear, humility, and hope. With an earnest prayer to God, he pleaded for someone to come to his aid and rescue him from the depths of his anguish.
A volunteer at the shelter discovered him and brought him in. Upon arrival, Isumu was given necessary medical attention and provided with a cozy bed to rest in. Isumu underwent a thorough cleaning and had his wounds treated. He was also nourished with food and water, and for the first time in a while, he experienced a sense of care and affection.
After 10 days, Isumu’s condition began to improve significantly. His wounds showed signs of healing, and his fur started to regrow. The unpleasant odor of decaying flesh that once surrounded him was no longer there, and his eyes radiated with joy and satisfaction.
Day 80: At long last, a delightful family arrived at the shelter seeking to give a loving home to a dog. The moment they laid eyes on Isumu, an undeniable connection formed, and their hearts were filled with adoration for him.
Heartbreaking! The dog was attacked by thousands of parasites, unable to eat or drink for many days.
Blossom, the dog, was discovered by an OrphanPet volunteer in Greece. She had been a stray for weeks, if not months, and had been wandering the streets. The poor puppy was in appalling condition.
Her tail had a chain wire lodged in it that had been there for a long time. Her tail grew enormously bloated as a result of the chain being so firmly wrapped around it.
She was also coated in thousands of ticks, which made matters worse. They performed a blood test and discovered that her blood was extremely thin as a result of the tick bites. She wouldn’t have lasted much longer if they hadn’t saved her. Blossom’s time was running short, and they realized they needed to act quickly to assist her.
They gave her a blood transfusion and ended up having to amputate her tail after bringing her in. They worked diligently and methodically to remove as many ticks as they could one by one, but it took them nearly a week to remove every single dead tick.
Her transformation is absolutely mind-blowing. She is now very healthy and has made new doggy friends along the way. And best of all? She was adopted!
She’s now settled into her forever home and relishing her second shot at life. She would not have lived if this volunteer hadn’t found her and brought her in. Thank heavens for OrphanPet’s kind rescuers!
In the video below, you can see her rescue. It’s simply incredible!
