When the government hospital vet called us to rescue a dog someone had dropped there after finding him unconscious on the road, we hurried to help.

And so lucky that we did, because this sweetheart didn’t have much longer to live. We rushed back to the Animal Aid hospital where we gave him emergency IV fluids to treat shock and dehydration, and oxygen to help his labored breathing.

He seemed to have a broken jaw but otherwise no broken bones. With so much blood loss, we weren’t sure he would ever wake up. But within a few hours, his eyes brightened, and he seemed to partially absorb the idea that he was in a new place. He was returning to consciousness and beginning a second chance at life. This boy’s road to recovery included 2 months of daily therapy to regain his ability to walk, to eat, and to think. It was long but beautiful.

Meet this awe-inspiring little hero, Kenny, today!
