Dogs are capable of providing great emotional support to people who are suffering. They can also do the same for other animals. Such is the case of a dog named Poppi, who became a great companion for a disabled cat.
One day, Poppi’s owner saw a cat limping in the bushes near their home. The owner couldn’t leave the cat to fend for itself while injured, so he brought it home. Naturally, Poppi tried to befriend the cat. That was his nature, a naturally friendly animal.
The cat came to be known as Nyaong. She’s paralyzed from the waist down, so she needed extra attention. When she first arrived at Poppi’s home, she was irritable. This didn’t last long because the dog was keen on making her feel comfortable. Poppi had succeeded in forming a friendship with the cat a few days after her arrival.
While Poppi was working on making the cat feel at home, the owners figured out how to make Nyaong’s life better. They built an improvised wheelchair, so Nyaong could move around freely. They’ve managed to complete a working model and constantly made improvements as time went on.
Nyaong was taken to the veterinarian to see how bad her paralysis was. The vet found out that the cat had fractures that were possibly caused by a car accident. Furthermore, there was very little chance that Nyaong’s leg would get better. According to the vet, the only thing that the owners could do was make sure her mental state is stable.
Fortunately, the cat’s mental health wasn’t at any risk of deteriorating. This was because Poppi is always ready to give Nyaong affection. The dog never left her side wherever she is. They’re the classic case of inseparable best friends.
Poppi has shown great compassion towards an animal that needs it. He’s an example of what happens to a pet when they’re in a loving environment. It’s worth crediting the owners as well, who have done a good job of raising him.
