As the rescuers walked through the forest, they noticed something small and dark on the ground. At first, it looked like just a piece of fluff, but as they got closer, they realized it was actually a dog.

He was lying motionless in the pouring rain, waiting for somebody to notice him.

The rescuer, heart heavy, gently picked him up and named him Laiki. Without hesitation, they carried him to their car and rushed to the vet, hoping it wasn’t too late for this poor dog to begin a new, happy life.

Heartbreaking Discovery

After a thorough examination, the vets were absolutely heartbroken at the state Laiki was in. He had so many wounds extending throughout his entire body that the hoomans knew that his pain was unimaginable.

However, after getting his X-rays back, the entire veterinary staff was absolutely shocked.

Laiki had bullets lodged in his body.

The worst affected areas were his paws and spine. Thus, the vets scheduled an emergency surgery the very next day in order to get him happy and healthy as soon as possible.

The surgery was quite difficult, but the vet team working on this sweet boy was determined to help him at all cost.

Easy Does It

The surgery was a success and Laiki immediately felt so much better. He began wagging his little tail and even gave sweet kisses to his rescuers. Finally, he was able to begin his recovery journey.

Since he was surrounded by so much love and attention, it didn’t take too long for him to start showing signs of improvement.

Even though he could only use three of his legs, he was still able to jump and run around, showing everybody that he was not ready to give up on life.

Being such a happy and determined boy, one hooman noticed him and was so touched by his zest for life that they decided to take him in.

Together, they immediately started making tons of incredible memories full of laughter, love, and happiness.

Laiki was finally able to forget all about his dark, heartbreaking past and embrace his new life with his entire being.

His favorite activity, apart from being a couch potato, is running around the beach and having a little swim!

Final Word

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everybody that animals have feelings, too.

No matter if they are somebody’s pet or a stray wandering the streets, they deserve nothing but love and respect.

So, if you witness any type of animal cruelty, please contact the authorities, report the abuser, and allow our furry friends a brighter future.

They deserve it.
