Izum, a puppy born to a homeless momma dog, ended up on his own at the age of three months. Without his mom, he struggled to survive on his own. He began to starve and he soon got into an accident that left him completely paralyzed.
Believed to have been hit by a speeding car, the poor puppy lost the ability to use his hind legs. And in no time, he was no longer able to even stand without feeling pain. He collapsed on the grass and he whined in the hope that someone would hear and help him.
For two nights, Izum waited for help but no one came. He lost his hopes and decided to just wait for the moment when he’d finally leave this world. Suddenly, someone showed up and he knew that person would change his life.
Izum was so happy when help finally came. He whined and cried real tears out of joy. Finally, someone with a good heart found him.
At the vet’s office, it was revealed that Izum suffered from a serious spinal cord injury. He underwent emergency surgery and had a metal rod installed on his back to prevent further damage. He hated it at first but it helped him move around more freely.
After his surgery, Izum went home with his rescuer and he loved the sudden change in his life. He slept on a warm bed, ate full meals, and felt affection for the first time. Everything was new to him but he knew it was all for his betterment.
Soon, the puppy began his therapy and rehabilitation. He needed daily therapeutic massages, underwent a laser treatment to stimulate his muscles and nerves, and went through a series of water therapy sessions.
Izum makes great progress every day. He is far from complete recovery but he is on his way. And in no time, he will be back on his feet to find his way to his forever home.
