Despite the fact that this story is heartbreaking in many ways, it contains a miraculous twist. When a car struck a stray mama dog, she died instantly. We’re grateful she didn’t have to suffer. She did, however, leave behind three puppies in desperate need of care. This is the story of one puppy who was very attached to his mother. And he never gave up.
Because the puppy was too young and loyal to his mother to comprehend what had occurred, he clung to her long after she had died. By the time the little family was discovered, the one puppy had continued to nestle into Mama, trying to wake her up. He had no plans to leave his mother, whom he adored.
When the animal rescuers tried to separate the puppy from his mother, he cried. The loving folks were fully aware that they needed to be cautious around this particular puppy. They decided to give the mama dog a beautiful funeral. They laid her down, covering her with a blanket and flower petals. When it was time to cremate the puppy, they let her say one last goodbye.
The pup, who is now adored by his rescuers, stood by as his mother died. His new human friends tried their best to explain to him that Mama was going to a special place and that they would be reunited one day. The puppy’s emotional scars would take time to heal.
The veterinarian and his team were concerned with keeping all three puppies as healthy as possible. They needed to be vaccinated as well as flea and parasite treatment. After being given a clean bill of health, all of the puppies were taken to a nearby shelter.
The rescuers love all three puppies, but one in particular worries them about his emotional well-being. During this time, he will demand continual comfort. They will be available for adoption as soon as they are old enough. Fortunately, there are families who want to adopt all three dogs.
We understand that this is a sad story, but it is also a daily reality for stray animals. We are extremely grateful that the puppies were rescued so quickly. We’re especially grateful that the puppy, who requires special attention, is getting it all!
