Soldier Finds Injured Dog On Side Of The Road

A dog’s second chance is credited to one hero’s keen eye and quick reactions. After being hit by a car, this beautiful German Shepard was left alone to die on the side of a busy highway, but thankfully a soldier, who just happened to be driving by, spotted the wounded animal and pulled over.

“It was amazing that she stopped because she shouldn’t have seen him,” said one of the dog’s relieved veterinarians.

Once they took him in they realized he had a lot of healing to do. With multiple broken bones, the most important thing was to keep him still during the surgeries. The hard work eventually paid off and the dog is on the right path, but throughout the whole ordeal he remained ever hopeful, so they decided to name him Trooper, for his indomitable spirit!

Trooper’s big brown eyes seem to still be searching for someone else. This sweet dog could easily be someone’s family pet, but luckily the Bella Foundation SPCA will take good care of him until a loving family adopts him!

While it is certainly a shame that Trooper got so badly injured from being hit by a car, it’s all thanks to the amazing soldier and the good people at the Bella Foundation that this beautiful dog will get the second chance at life that he deserves. We’re sure he’ll live a healthy and happy life thanks to a little help from his newfound friends!

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning, the Dodo reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa.

It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,” caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...
