Touching Rescue – Cold and Alone, Dog Howls In Fear Until Rescuer Comforts Him
The dog was in desperate need of help (Video)
When Donna from Stray Rescue of St. Louis got closer to the dog that was in desperate need of help, her heart broke into a million pieces. The loud and mournful howls were enough evidence that the pour soul was suffering. It was huddled against a pole and had troubles getting warm on that cold weather. The puppy was shivering from the icy snow and was in pain from injuries. It was one of the saddest sights this young woman has ever came across. This is how she described their first encounter. Knowing his condition, Donna assumed that the frightened dog would run away once they get closer. But she was wrong.
He sort of felt they were there to get him into a better life, and let his rescuers put a leash around his neck. As soon as he’s secured, he lets out a whimper, no doubt feeling a mixture of fear and relief. “He smells of infection from a wound on his side, and appears to have paraphimosis,”Donna said after the thorough examination. It is a condition that affects uncircumcised males and has to be medically treated. But this lovely dog whom they named Weezer was now in the right hands. Donna and the rest of the staff were ready to provide him with all the love he needed in order to get back on track. Once Weezer got in the car he immediately started wagging his tail. It was the first step towards his bright future and he knew it. Looking at the dog, Donna said, “Aren’t you glad you came with me?” and then she thanked God her rescue pup won’t spend another minute out in the cold.
Rescue: He was shivering and screaming in fear
After the vet’s check up it was determined that Weezer’s infection was a result of an embedded harness. Stray Rescue wrote: “It looks as though he may have had a harness on that became embedded and badly infected. We’ve seen many embedded collars, but not embedded harnesses.” Paraphimosis was easily treatable and Weezer got the much needed meds that could help him recover completely. Watch the video of his rescue, he looks to be about 7 months old and is as sweet as can be.
