„Miracle pit bull“ Smoke probably couldn’t have saved herself under a better car.
Because Brad Chambers, a former policeman with a huge heart for dogs, reacts immediately when the emaciated and badly injured puppy flees to him.
The transformation that Smoke then undergoes is nothing short of a miracle!
Life-threatening injuries under the truck
Today, Smoke, who is currently training to become a therapy dog, no longer shows any signs of her terrible past.
But when Chambers finds the puppy under his pickup truck in Virginia, her chances of survival are not good.
Her previous owner must have stabbed her seven times. Her windpipe and carotid artery were badly injured.
Luckily, Smoke finds safe haven under Chambers‘ truck as she runs away from the person who did this to her.
Quick help
Chambers knows immediately what to do and is able to help the puppy at the scene.
After giving her first aid quickly, he takes the seriously injured Smoke to a nearby veterinary clinic.
However, she cannot stay there for long. Her wounds are so serious that she has to be taken to a clinic in another state.
The North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine performs a masterpiece on the puppy and brings her back to life – and even beyond!
„She has made a full recovery from all the surgeries, she has tons of energy and her loyalty is solid,“
says Chambers.
Smoke is full of energy, zest for life and pure love.
Expensive treatments
Although Smoke’s recovery has been successful, the cost of the operations is more than 15,000 dollars.
Chambers is able to cover part of the costs and collect enough donations to pay the rest.
But it’s more than worth it to him! Smoke has changed his life for the better and simply had to become part of his family.
„She is one of the most loving dogs I have ever met. This is a dog who needs to find a place where everyone around her can benefit from her love, and yes, I love dogs.“
he enthuses.
Her loving nature just makes her a perfect therapy dog that will definitely help many more people in need.
