Helpless, the mother called for help (Video)

Seeing animals suffering or in trouble has always broken my heart. They’re so helpless and innocent and depend on us for so much. Animal Aid Unlimited helps animals through street animal rescue, spay/neuter and education. Few days ago, the organization received a distressing call about a wounded puppy on the side of the road. When they arrived, mama dog was by his side crying out for help after her puppy was lying in the street. They observed that when her baby cried, she cried too. Her pup appeared to have been mauled and was wailing in agony. Fortunately, Animal Aid Unlimited was contacted and came to help the distressed family.

The dog was standing guard and looking out for her young one. But somehow, this clever mama knew rescuers were there to help her, so she put her complete trust in them. “She didn’t stop trying desperately to communicate as we gently lifted her puppy who had two deep wounds and placed him in the ambulance. We couldn’t bring her along because she had 4 other babies to watch over,” shared Animal Aid Unlimited. They tried to communicate back to the mother dog, and she seemed to trust that the rescuers would take care of her baby. “We would try our best to save her sweetheart and bring him home, and how we wished and hoped she would somehow understand.” Mama wanted to help but knew she couldn’t do it on her own.

Worried, she watches her baby leaving in the car

They carefully transferred the tiny pup to their vehicle, to take him back to their shelter and treated his puncture wounds. The pain from his wounds left him unable to walk. “Her little one was so brave, and never struggled throughout his wound dressings. But he had a lingering problem: the wounds hurt him so badly he couldn’t walk for several days. We weren’t sure if the nerve damage was permanent.” But after lots of rest, food and love he began to feel much better. The pup was soon running around, giving kisses to his rescuers. But they knew his place was back with his mama and so they brought him home for a happy reunion with his family. Watch the video, the sweet reunion between the puppy and his family!
