Despite the huge number of people wanting to own dogs, there are actually people who own dogs but don’t know how to take care of them. These dogs usually live in horrible conditions where they’re neglected and abused. It’s sad that this still happens since these animals are also living creatures that have emotions and give unconditional love to humans.
A dog named Lusya was kept in chains by her owner. Her hind legs were paralyzed and she looked pitiful in her photos. Lusya wasn’t happy at all and she desperately needed help. Thankfully, a rescuer saw Lusya’s photos and immediately acted to save her life.
Lusya’s owner wasn’t willing to give up Lusya no matter how much the rescuer pleaded. Thankfully, the rescuer got in touch with the authorities and Lusya’s owner was forced to give her up to the rescuer. When Lusya was rescued, she was so frightened and didn’t know what to do. She was terrified of being in the car and needed plenty of reassurances from the rescuer.
Lusya was taken to the vet where she was examined to find out if she needed any medical treatment. Thankfully, Lusya was generally healthy. The only problem was her paralyzed hind legs. She’s unable to stand and would drag her hind legs on the floor when she moved around.
The vet performed an x-ray to find out what’s wrong. That was when they discovered that Lusya had been through something horrible. The x-ray showed a bullet that was lodged on her spine. Lusya was shot and nobody bothered to take her to the vet to get her treated.
The bullet and some of its fragments were still inside her body, which caused her hind legs to be paralyzed. Since the bullet was lodged in her spine, surgery to remove it was out of the question. The vet suggested that Lusya should go through therapy to help her regain strength on her hind legs, which would help her walk normally again.
Lusya’s rescuer took her back home where she adjusted quickly. For the first time in a long time, Lusya was free and able to move around. She also made lots of friends in her new home that was like her. Lusya settled in her new home quickly and she also started to realize that her rescuer only wants the best for her.
Despite Lusya’s disability, she’s always happy and playful. She manages to get by dragging her hind legs to move around. Lusya’s personality started to shine and showed her new mom that she’s a playful and sweet dog who loves to cuddle. Lusya’s rescuer and mom also started to give her therapy to help strengthen her hind legs.
Lusya’s road to recovery is a long one but she’s making progress every day. Her mom is hopeful that Lusya will eventually learn to walk again. Here’s a heartwarming video showing Lusya’s story and transformation. To watch the entire video, just click on the link below the screenshots.
