A little Labrador dog saved a paralyzed parrot that fell from a nest, and decided to become its big brother.
Viviana Dávila and her puppy Hiro were relaxing in the backyard of their house in Puerto Rico when they were surprised by something strange that was on the ground.
The little Labrador dog did not hesitate to go see what it was and wanted his mother to know about his great find, which was not an object, but someone who had gotten there due to some unfortunate situation.
«I noticed Hiro licking something in the grass. He licked and he looked at me and insisted again licking and looking at me. It was a sign that something was happening and I approached,” Viviana said.
The little dog had found a parrot that needed help.
“Immediately, I looked for a towel and picked it up, the little bird was very defenseless,” Viviana added.
Until then, the puppy had saved this little bird’s life, but this adorable puppy would later do more than that.
After consulting a veterinarian , Viviana learned that the bird was a small Quaker parrot . The poor guy was paraplegic probably because he had fallen from his nest.
Under these conditions their chances of survival in the wild were very slim , if not none. He probably would have perished on the ground if Hiro hadn’t found him in time.
However, this little parrot proved to be a fighter and Viviana committed herself to keeping the light of hope lit, but she never imagined that she would have the help of the little dog , who took his role as a protective father very seriously.
The little dog decided that he would not leave Hope’s side, as they called the little parrot
“The vet told us that in similar cases he recommends putting them to sleep forever, however, he was very surprised to see how Hope was struggling to live,” Viviana said.
That’s when she decided to welcome Hope into her family to care for him the best she could following the vet’s instructions.
“After a week and a half his improvement was notable. “Hiro has been part of that effort, from day one she has not left him,” said Viviana.
Viviana fed him regularly and did everything she could to keep him very comfortable.
“Nothing matters to him anymore because he has a new purpose: to take care of Hope,” Viviana said.
Little by little Hope adapted to her new home, each day her body became stronger. The Labrador puppy has not rested to ensure that her heart heals too.
«Having hope and caring for him so far has been a great experience. “Hope teaches us every day about perseverance and empathy,” Viviana added.
These days wherever Hope goes, the little dog is there too. A beautiful friendship was born between them. Hopefully, Hope will continue to thrive with Hiro by her side.
«We are proud and honored to have Hiro. Although he has always been a very good puppy,” expressed Viviana.
The story of these friends went viral on Twitter thanks to Viviana’s sister, who lives in Chicago, United States. So the tweeters, moved by her photos, asked her for a video of the puppy and the parrot.
The scenes move thousands of people:
“How beautiful they are!”, “She’s grooming him,” “Dogs are the best thing that can happen to us,” “I faint with love,” “My God, how cute,” were some of the comments from Internet users. .
We at Zoorprendente want to thank Hiro, Hope not only survived, but now she also has a loving place to call home. This emotional story shows us how great love is!
