Who could be so cruel as to harm a defenseless dog with an arrow? That was the question echoing through Jieyang City on March 10, 2023, when a wounded dog was found on the road, pierced by an arrow. Passers-by swiftly alerted their doctor friends, and within 15 minutes, Dr. Chen arrived at the scene, racing the injured pup to the hospital.
The dog, whom they named Mingda, was in critical condition, with the arrow having narrowly missed her heart. Emergency surgery was performed, and against all odds, Mingda survived. The next 72 hours were crucial, but Mingda’s tenacity prevailed.
As Mingda recovered, she remained stoic through treatment, enduring injections and infusions with remarkable resilience. Mingda’s story spread, garnering support from the community, who showered her with delicious treats.
Mingda’s journey to recovery was not solitary; she found a companion in a curious pig named Piggy, who shared her hospital room. Mingda’s trust in humans remained unshaken, despite her ordeal.
With each passing day, Mingda grew stronger, forming deep bonds with Dr. Chen, Qiqi, and the Chen family dog, Qiqi. Eventually, Dr. Chen officially adopted Mingda, cementing her place as a beloved member of their family.
Today, Mingda is a picture of health and happiness, her past scars barely visible. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the healing power of love and kindness, both for animals and humans alike. Amidst the darkness of cruelty, Mingda’s tale shines as a beacon of hope, reminding us to treat every life with compassion and care.
