Once in a serene rural enclave, a small community of puppies came into the world, born to a mother dog who had sought refuge in a hidden grove. The tranquility of this environment should have been an ideal setting for a family of dogs, yet their lives were far from picturesque. Their mother, a determined leader among humans, had instilled in her offspring an intense fear of the outside world, a realm teeming with peril.

Their existence was a testament to the primal forces of fear and survival in the animal kingdom. To find solace and security, they had learned to depend on one another. Occasionally, these puppies, bearing echoes of their mother’s tenacity, would venture beyond the boundaries she had set, spurred by their innate curiosity.

It was under the shelter of a massive stone that these puppies would huddle together, away from the perceived threats of the outside world. Protected from harsh elements and potential predators, they would cautiously peek out from their secure den to observe the world beyond. Safely ensconced, they would watch the world go by, their tiny hearts racing at the sight of a distant human figure.

Their presence illustrated the potent influence of fear and survival instincts in the animal kingdom. They knew that to thrive, they had to remain concealed from the outside world, their small hearts quivering with trepidation. The stone, perhaps a relic from a bygone era, became their sanctuary, shielding them from the unseen dangers lurking beyond.
Over time, the transformation of these puppies was nothing short of extraordinary. Their initial dread of humans, born of past experiences and deeply rooted fears, gradually began to dissolve. Their encounters, filled with love and kindness, altered their perspective, and happiness began to supplant their previous apprehension.

The tale of these puppies served as a potent testament to the resilience of fear and survival instincts in animals. Their initial fear of humans was a defense mechanism, forged through past experiences and a deeply ingrained instinct to shield themselves from danger.

However, the unwavering patience and compassionate efforts of individuals determined to alter the course of these puppies’ lives began to yield fruit. Slowly but surely, the puppies began to conquer their fear and apprehension, forging trust and companionship between humans and their animal counterparts.

Meet Honey, This is the poor soul Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary rescued today. Honey was dumped in severe condition with the biggest tumor on her face. She was in discomfort for a long time since she was swollen and infected.

” We are with her now at Animal Wellness getting X-rays to find out if this mass is treatable. Her early blood tests revealed that her organs were working OK, but she is anemic. She was also found to have heartworm.
They will put her on anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks and also work on raising her red blood cell count. She will then require surgery and chemotherapy. She stands a high chance of living a regular, happy life!

She need to do surgery to remove the mass, followed by chemo if it is cancerous. Given the position of the tumour, surgeons will need to do the procedure at Animal Wellness, where they have gas anaesthetic, giving Honey the highest chance of survival.

Her red blood cell count is still low after 15 days in the center, therefore she will have a transfusion. Hopefully, surgery will be performed soon after.
“Day 17: Honey’s operation has just begun. Just before she was sedated, she was photographed with Rina and Rudylyn. We will do the procedure at Animal Wellness since gas anaesthesia is safer for more serious instances. Because the tumor is so close to her brain, the procedure will be lengthy and complicated.

Day 19: Honey’s surgery was as successful as it could be given that the tumor had grown around so many of her facial and optical nerves. Unfortunately, the nerves controlling her left eyelid had to be severed, leaving her with a little droop.

The tumor was huge, and as a result the surgical wound is large. She is eating chicken which is a good sign. She will be able to live a normal life even without it. She is already eating on her own, but her face is still swollen from the operation and inflammation, so doctors are hopeful she will eat more once that subsides.

She is still in the very early stages of recovery from such an invasive surgery, and each day she survives without complications, is a blessing. She made it through the procedure!!! Honey is still deemed critical, but she is awake and breathing.
“We just had the results of Honey’s tumor biopsied and unfortunately it’s malignant. Doxorubicin is the most effective chemotherapy treatment for the type of cancer she has. We must act quickly to halt the spread of any cancer that may still be present in Honey’s system.”
She hadaother tumor in her vagina but the amazing news is that the tumor in her vagina has shrunk by 60 percent since she started chemo and she has only had two sessions so far.
After more than 3 months, she’s gaining weight and is generally in good spirits despite being on chemo. Her prognosis is still uncertain because chemo affects the organs, but we are confident she will recover completely.
