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...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore. We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist. Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change. I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia. Take the pledge to fight the cruel dog meat trade >>> SIGN PETITION HERE <<<
