100% this dear puppy would’ve died without emergency surgery.

It’s not only a broken jaw—Eguzi has a partially crushed lower mandible. Luckily our vet surgeon has performed thousands of surgeries, and many have been complex.

We were not sure enough bone and teeth could be saved such that Eguzi would be able to chew. But Eguzi is all heart, and he was not about to be stopped by a partially lost lower mandible and fractured jaw. No sir!

Even without a complete mandible, Eguzi thinks he has all the reasons to be happy that he needs. This little guy has a good lesson for all of us!
