Suffering Dog With Severely Swollen Face Roamed Streets Aimlessly Until Good Samaritan Saves Her Life
Many developing countries have large stray dog populations, which means that these dogs are left to navigate the chaotic and fast-paced environments they find themselves in without any support system to protect them. In most economically developing countries, only 5% of dogs have owners; in the United States, for example, about 95% of dogs have owners.
Animal shelters around the world work day and night to ensure that these stray dog populations are reduced, benefiting both dogs and humans. However, there is still much work to be done, which means that some dogs will remain exposed to many dangers for quite some time.
Jade is one of those dogs; she spent days roaming the streets of Santíssimo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a severely swollen face. A good Samaritan discovered her lying on the ground, desperately in need of help.
In order to feed her, the good Samaritan initially attempted to tie her to a fence so she wouldn't escape, but his efforts were in vain because she was far too weak and sick to eat. A man named Randel Silva heard about the dog's condition and rushed her to the vet.
“His condition is sad. His face was bathed in blood and had some bruises,” said Silva.
After arriving at the vet, they decided to name the sweet pup Jade. Her face was extremely swollen, and she was so weak that she couldn't muster enough strength to eat.
Jade's wounds appeared to result from a brutal beating.
She was bloody, swollen, and sore. Her body was also extremely dehydrated and suffered from anemia.
Jade was given antibiotics and is now receiving round-the-clock care.
Her condition has improved significantly; the swelling has gone down, and she is now capable of eating on her own.
“Now the dog is feeding on her own, and her swollen face has started to shrink, but she has not fully recovered,” said her rescuer.
She is now as active as ever and feels like a brand-new dog!
The vets are waiting for Jade to fully recover, so she will remain under their care until they can find her a forever home.
Jade finally received the help she needed and is now living a brand-new life after almost losing hope and giving up. All of this is thanks to the good Samaritan who stopped to help the poor dog and made a huge difference in her life. Thanks to him, she now has a future to look forward to.
As for the person or people who inflicted pain on Jade, karma will catch up with them, and they will pay for the suffering they caused. It's just a matter of time; no crime goes unpunished.
