It is heartbreaking to know that there are heartless people who rob dogs of their greatest dream: to have a loving home. Without the possibility of feeling the warm touch of a human hand, many dogs feel sad and unhappy.
Sandy was one of those dogs who suffered a broken heart after being abandoned to her fate in the middle of nowhere. Weakened and without the strength to go on, she lay in the tall grass by the roadside, feeling the betrayal of humans. Just when she was about to give up, her hero found her and gave her hope for a better future.
David, a cyclist who was passing by, stopped dead when he saw her. The little dog looked heartbroken and dejected. She was skin and bones. David was deeply affected by her condition and could not hold back his tears.
He spoke lovingly to her and the dog, who they later named Sandy, stood up and began to wag her tail. David promised her that she would be fine. He fed her, and since he couldn’t take her to the vet on his bike, they waited for someone to stop to help them.
An hour later, a kind man offered to take Sandy to the vet. David took Sandy to the vet clinic, where he met his partner, Valentina. They both stood by Sandy’s side, providing support.
Sandy still couldn’t believe that she was being shown kindness and compassion.
The dog received a thorough medical check-up. In addition to being dehydrated and extremely thin, Sandy had a high fever and open wounds. The vet told them she had likely been used for breeding before being abandoned.
David and Valentina took her home. They had decided to take care of her and help her recover. The couple kept a constant watch on her, fearing they would lose her.
“We couldn’t sleep. We were so scared that we would wake up and she would be gone,” Valentina told We Love Animals.
Sandy appreciated the love and care her family gave her. It helped her to keep going and fight for her recovery.
After performing a series of tests, the sweet dog was diagnosed with Leishmaniasis, a disease that affects the skin, weight and organs. The vet recommended they put her down because the treatment was expensive and there was no guarantee it would help her.
The family steadfastly refused to euthanize Sandy, saying it would never be an option. They dedicated themselves to her care, hoping that she would make a full recovery.
Valentina was convinced that Sandy had never been shown affection before.
Ella y David la abrazaban y la llenaban de amor. Sandy se convirtió en parte de la familia. La perrita se sintió protegida y amada por primera vez en su vida.
Fue un cambio radical para Sandy. Se unió al otro perro de la familia de inmediato. Los dos pasaban mucho tiempo acurrucados y jugando. Se volvieron inseparables.
Los ojos de Sandy se llenaron de alegría. Comenzó a comer mejor y sus padres disfrutaban viéndola prosperar.
El amor que Sandy recibió de sus padres y del otro perro le dio la fuerza para superar todos los obstáculos que se interponían en su camino.
Sandy disfrutaba la vida al máximo.
“Siempre dijimos que el amor puede mover montañas. La miramos hoy y no podemos creer por lo que pasó”, dijo David.
Los padres de Sandy estáп convencidos de que la perrita estaba destinada a cruzarse en su camino y entrar en sus vidas. Se sienten bendecidos de tener su amor incondicional.
La cara de Sandy irradia felicidad. Vive la vida de sus sueños con una familia que la ama profundamente.
