It’s impossible not to weep when you see the tragic predicament of abandoned stray dogs. However, not every mother dog is as courageous, tough, and protective of her children as Si Bao.
After being “mercilessly abandoned” by its owner, this dog was engaged in a tragic accident in which her hind legs were crushed by a train. Si Bao’s life appeared dismal until she gave birth to four very gorgeous and healthy pups, who practically became the driving force in this miserable mother dog’s existence.
After recovering the pleasure of living in life after having children, Si Bao restored her spirit and always kept a resilient and strong attitude to take care of her children. Si Bao walked on two front legs, keeping a watchful eye on the children.
Si Bao’s luck continued to smile when the Jill Robinson-founded nonprofit Animals Asia rescued his family and made this heroic mother dog an animal ambassador. As a consequence, Si Bao has been transferred to the organization’s headquarters, where he may begin a new life with his kid rather than struggling to earn a livelihood off the scraps of food that travelers throw away at the train track. His sole surviving is Muddie.
Furthermore, Si Bao has been renamed Lelly, and she is planning to install wheeled prosthetic legs to allow her to move more freely. Three of Lelly’s four pups died of high fever when the organization found them, leaving just Muddie.
Lelly is currently living the good life as a “Asia animal” ambassador for Animals.
Even though she is just a little dog, Lelly exemplifies an unbreakable character that does not give in to hardship.
Second Chance for a Pit Bull: Rescued from a Massive Tumor, Now Thriving
Animal shelters do incredible work giving pets a second chance. Some animals arrive at shelters in shocking condition, but they still step up to give them the love and care they need.
That was the case for a dog named Libby, who had a tumor the size of a volleyball. But now, her story has a happy ending.
In August, the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, in Washington state, took in a stray pit bull named Libby. They said the dog was “full of life” and had a “sweet face and kind eyes.”
However, Libby also had a serious medical concern: a 10-pound tumor the size of a volleyball, one of the largest masses they had ever seen:
Libby arrived at a hectic time for the shelter: HSTPC says Libby was just one of three urgent cases they responded to in 48 hours, and as Washington’s largest-intake shelter dozens of new animals were arriving every day.
Despite that, they resolved to give Libby the best possible care, even though they weren’t sure what the future had in store for the poor dog.
“She deserves the most compassionate care possible, but we don’t know what her outcome will be at this time,” the shelter wrote in August. “Our veterinary team is working on every possible option and will start with testing to understand what kind of tumor Libby has. For now, she is receiving pain medication to ease her discomfort and endless love from our staff.”
After giving Libby an x-ray, they discovered the tumor was in the bone of her upper right leg, and would require amputation. Reactive inflammation caused the tumor to swell to its unusual size, and was causing her agonizing pain.
Through generous donations from supporters, the shelter was able to pay for Libby’s leg amputation. The surgery, done by the vet staff at BluePearl Pet Hospital, was a success and Libby was finally free of the pain she had been living through.
Sadly, even though her tumor was gone, she was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer, and her time on earth might be limited. But in happy news, Libby has found a home!
According to HSTPC, a vet tech fell in love with Libby and agreed to adopt her. Even though she knows that Libby might not live long, she wanted to fill her remaining days with love.
“There’s something in her eyes that begs for love and safety,” her new adopter said, according to a Facebook post. “I couldn’t turn away from that.”
Libby has now been renamed “Wiggles” and is enjoying her new home, playing with her dog brother and family and taking lots of cozy naps on the couch.
“Though we’re uncertain how much time she has left, we know she’ll spend her remaining days
