Stray Dog Living With Tight String Around Neck Thought Life Was Over, Until This Happened
When staff at Happy Doggo received reports of a stray puppy roaming around with a string knotted tightly around her neck, nothing prepared them for the pitiful state they’d find this 8-month-old pup in. (watch the video below)
Stella spent her life on the streets in unimaginable pain. Someone had tied a string around this puppies neck. As she grew the string became tighter and tighter until it cut so deeply into her neck it exposed the flesh around her area
The rescuers knew that if they didn’t act swiftly, Stella wouldn’t survive. But getting Stella to accept their help wasn’t a walk in the park. Her sorrowful eyes brimmed with fear and she lashed out at anyone who tried to approach her.
Thankfully, after numerous attempts, a staff member managed to catch Stella and bring her to safety. Her rescuers knew that every second from that point mattered; it was evident Stella needed urgent medical attention, so they wasted no time. They rushed her for specialized treatment, kick-starting her journey of healing and transformation.
Stella’s Hesitance to Trust Her Rescuers Persists
A veterinarian team attended to Stella, removing the oppressive string that had robbed her of a comfortable life, and treating the open wound around her neck. Although Stella was finally free from the string, she still couldn’t bring herself to trust her rescuers, and understandably so. After her treatment, she remained fearful, ready to bite anyone who came near her.
Staff at Happy Doggo (one of Thailand’s largest rescue organizations for street dogs) knew that getting Stella to trust again required them to exercise lots of patience but they didn’t expect this to happen as soon as it did, considering all she’d been through. Stella’s true personality started to show, and she began viewing her rescuers as people who were for her, not against her.
Stella’s New Chapter Begins
Stella’s recovery has been heartwarming. Her tail wags with enthusiasm at the sight of the rescuers who never gave up on her, even when she pushed them away. She looks visibly happier, her optimism for life is slowly blooming, and her playful spirit shines through.
