With a band of crimson encircling his neck, he bore the physical reminder of past captivity. Each stride he took was accompanied by a tormenting ache stemming from his lengthy chains. His form was clothed in wounds inflicted by the fangs of rabid creatures, emitting an unmistakable fragrance of decaying flesh.
In the midst of his immense suffering, Isumu’s eyes continued to glow with a flicker of vitality, demonstrating his inherent capacity to feel fear, humility, and hope. With an earnest prayer to God, he pleaded for someone to come to his aid and rescue him from the depths of his anguish.
A volunteer at the shelter discovered him and brought him in. Upon arrival, Isumu was given necessary medical attention and provided with a cozy bed to rest in. Isumu underwent a thorough cleaning and had his wounds treated. He was also nourished with food and water, and for the first time in a while, he experienced a sense of care and affection.
After 10 days, Isumu’s condition began to improve significantly. His wounds showed signs of healing, and his fur started to regrow. The unpleasant odor of decaying flesh that once surrounded him was no longer there, and his eyes radiated with joy and satisfaction.
Day 80: At long last, a delightful family arrived at the shelter seeking to give a loving home to a dog. The moment they laid eyes on Isumu, an undeniable connection formed, and their hearts were filled with adoration for him.
12-year-old boy builds Lego wheelchair for dog born without legs
Gracie is a puppy who due to a birth defect was born without her front legs. She was immediately dumped by her owners but before eventually ending up in a vets office. At the time, the little puppy had lost patches of hair and had maggots crawling on her but she did not lose her will to live. Gracie was slowly nursed back to health and her life turned around completely when she was adopted by a loving family who instantly fell in love with the puppy even despite her disability.
The puppy was adopted by the Turney family that also happens to run an animal shelter. They had already adopted one paralyzed dog before and had experience in taking care of a disabled pet.
Naturally, Gracie had trouble walking but was too small for a wheelchair so the family had to come up with some sort of a solution.
That’s where 12-year-old Dylan came to help – the boy used LEGO bricks to make a wheelchair for Gracie.
A LEGO wheelchair was perfect for the rapidly growing puppy – it was cheap and easy to adjust.
With a little trial and error, Gracie got the hang of the wheelchair.
Soon enough she was running around like any little puppy her age!
Eventually, as Gracie got bigger, Dylan added bigger wheels to the wheelchair.
The puppy got an “adult” wheelchair as she got older.
Gracie’s story proves that any puppy can live a happy and fulfilling life with the help of caring and loving owners.
