When a pup named Bruno was picked up from the streets by dedicated rescuers, they thought he was just a regular puppy trying to rest his tired paws.

However, after calling him over, they noticed that something was wrong.

Bruno wasn’t able to stand up on his back legs. Knowing that he needed immediate medical attention, the rescuers picked him up, brought him to their car, and swiftly took him to the vet in order to determine what was wrong.

Finally Safe

Since Bruno was found all alone on the streets, the rescuers didn’t really know what happened to him. Was his condition due to an injury or was he born this way?

While they waited for the vet to do his x-rays, the rescuers decided to spend some fun, quality time with him. This included a short playdate as well as a yummy meal to fill up his tummy and make him relax a bit.

As they were playing with him, they noticed Bruno desperately trying to stand up. This made them feel hopeful, knowing that he had the willpower to do so.

When he finished his scans, the vets were completely shocked with the results.

Bruno had no broken bones whatsoever! But why could he not walk then?

The vets suspected that his condition was either due to a stroke or congenital. Unfortunately, the vet’s office didn’t have all the necessary machines to determine the cause of his condition.

So, his rescuers decided to take him to the pet hospital.

It Gets Better

Bruno’s rescuers noticed that he was anemic and absolutely covered in fleas and ticks. So, before taking him to the hospital, they decided to give him a much-needed spa day.

After his bath, Bruno slept the night like a little baby.

In the morning, they took the sweet pup to the clinic where he underwent a thorough medical exam.

Finally, they were able to tell what was wrong.

It was determined that Bruno had the plague. However, it seems that he recovered from it all on his own. The vets don’t understand how that was even possible.

They suspected that his mom had suffered from the plague and that he was born with it, making it possible for him to fight it without any medications.

But, in the end, it didn’t really matter. The most important thing was that he was healthy now.

And since he was in good health, his rescuers didn’t see a reason why he couldn’t be adopted right away. After a thorough search, they found a little family that was the perfect fit for him.

Even though little Bruno will never be able to walk on all fours, that didn’t mean that he couldn’t lead a happy and fulfilling life. His new family absolutely adores him and is doing everything they can to make his days as good as they can get.

Bruno is thriving!
