I have a heartwarming story to share with you today, but it started out as one of the most heartbreaking situations that we have ever seen. It’s about a mother dog who was wailing and crying out for help, and it seemed that she was trying to communicate that her baby was in terrible pain. We knew we had to act quickly, so we gently lifted her little one, who had two deep wounds, and placed him in the ambulance.
The mother dog watched intently as we drove away, and we could feel her desperation and sadness. We wished we could take her with us, but she had four other babies to look after. We promised ourselves that we would do everything in our power to save her wounded pup and bring him back home to her.
The little one, whom we named Toggle, was incredibly brave throughout his wound dressings. However, he had a lingering issue – the wounds hurt him so much that he couldn’t walk for several days. We worried that the nerve damage might be permanent. But we gave him all the comfort and care he needed during his healing process, and we fell in love with his sweet nature.
But we knew that there was someone who was waiting for him, someone who was desperate to be reunited with him. And that someone was his mother. We were anxious but excited to see how their reunion would go. Would she even recognize him after all this time? Would she be angry or distant?
We needn’t have worried. The moment we brought Toggle to his mother, she sniffed him all over, as if checking that it was really him. Then, she started to lick him all over, wagging her tail and making a sound that was half-whimper, half-happy bark. We watched in amazement as Toggle tentatively took his first steps, and then quickly ran to his mother, nuzzling against her and wagging his tail.
It was a moment that we will never forget, and it makes all the hardships of our work worthwhile. It’s also a reminder of how important it is for animals to be with their families. So please, if you can, make a donation to help rescue street animals in India. Together, we can make sure that families stay together, and that animals who need our help get the love and care they deserve.
