Laying almost unconscious in a ditch, this dog must have been hit by a car.

The person who called us to the rescue might have seen it happen, because otherwise this dog would have lay there and died, invisible to passers-by. She was completely quiet as we lifted her gently and carried her to our ambulance. Our night staff stabilized her with a drip and gave pain medicine, waiting for her thorough physical examination in the morning.

We found no fractures or apparent wounds, but her eye was swollen and she behaved like one who had a brain injury, so we knew she needed supportive hydration with an IV, and most importantly, pain medicine and plenty of rest. When we presented her with food that first day, she couldn’t eat. But by day 2 under the soothing hands of our staff, she was coaxed into eating on her own. This was truly the beginning of her recovery, and within just a couple of weeks, this most humble girl gleamed with love. Meet Clove now!
