When our beloved four-legged friends are in a bad way, it often tears the owners‘ hearts apart.
We would love to protect our little furry friends from all bad things. Unfortunately, we are often powerless.
A terrible diagnosis
The gentle male dog Sammi and his owner Jane received devastating news from their vet.
Sammi was suffering from degenerative changes in his neck. After the operation, he would probably never be able to walk again.
Jane was desperate and unspeakably sad. Her best friend was very ill. She had to help him. She had a lot to think about.
How could she best help him? Would the operation really help or would he wake up paralysed?
Giving up was out of the question
She bravely contacted the organisation California Animal Rehabilitation.
This is a rehabilitation centre for animals in Santa Monica, in sunny California in the USA.
And indeed, she was able to bring Sammi to them for the operation and subsequent care.
She realised that it would be months before Sammi could return home.
Three months of anxiety
It was only after three months that she was finally able to visit her best friend.
The staff at the rehabilitation clinic did everything they could to help Sammi recover as quickly as possible.
In fact, Sammi was a real fighter and exceeded all expectations.
When Jane visited him, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Sammi came running towards her with his tail wagging!
It’s unbelievable, her dog took his chance and turned it into a great future. Now he can go for a carefree walk with his owner again.
A wonderful story that encourages us to never give up and not to let terrible diagnoses get us down!
