When a rescuer spotted a box in front of a pet food store, she didn’t think much of it. However, loud cries coming from inside quickly alerted her that something was amiss.

Inside the box was a small puppy, crying his heart out and unable to move. The rescuer had no idea how the pup ended up there, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was that he was clearly in a lot of pain and needed urgent medical attention.

Rescue Mission

Without hesitation, the rescuer rushed the pup to the vet to find out what was wrong and where the pain was coming from.

After a thorough examination, everyone was shocked to learn that the pup had no broken bones. The vet suspected that he had experienced a very traumatic event, which was causing his pain.

The vet administered medication to help him relax, but the poor little guy was in so much pain that he couldn’t stop crying.

Hoping to find answers, the vet performed an X-ray, which confirmed there were no broken bones. The suspicion then fell on a possible spinal cord injury affecting his nerves and causing all that pain.

With this information, the vets prescribed the right medication and hoped for the best.

Little Fighter

The pup, now named Lucky, proved to be a true fighter. Despite being unable to get up on his paws, he kept trying to raise his head to eat some food. Eventually, he managed to do it!

Seeing how much he wanted to get better brought his rescuers to tears. Over time, he even managed to sit up!

Throughout the entire process, Lucky remained a compliant and happy pup. He ate all of his meals, listened to his humans, and loved playing with them as much as he could.

Training Time

Then came training time! Every day, Lucky’s humans spent time with him, teaching him how to walk. They patiently and gently picked him up and placed him on his feet, encouraging him to stand on his own.

Eventually, Lucky got the hang of it and started walking! Before long, he was running around, exploring everything like the happy puppy he was. His humans couldn’t have been prouder.

Final Word

It’s clear that Lucky was once part of a family, which makes his story even more heartbreaking. It’s saddening to know that so many animals with injuries or medical conditions are cruelly dumped and not given a second chance at life.

So, if you’re ever unable to provide for your pets, please take them to your local shelter. They deserve that second chance.
