Woman On Vacation Finds Dog With Broken Spine And Takes Him Home

A woman was on vacation in Greece when she found a dog with serious injuries. She did what she could to help him.


Kiara Ijzendoorn and her family saw the dog when they were driving in Crete, Greece. The dog wasn’t able to move and was lying in the middle of the road.

Kiara said the dog’s back legs were paralyzed, and they could see a bump on his back which was his broken spine. Kiara followed the dog to a barn. The dog had been living on his own in a small barn, and Kiara knew she had to help the poor creature.

The next day Kiara and her family returned to the barn and gave the dog some food. They named the dog Fos. Kiara said despite the pain, Fos was friendly and happy to see them. Kiara took him to the vet who said that most likely Fos had been abused by his previous owner.

Once Fos got his medical clearance, Kiara was able to take him home with her to Holland. Today, Kiara say Fos is doing much better. Fos remains afraid of cats and older men and still has some difficulty walking.

But he is undergoing medical treatments for the bulge and Kiara says it has gotten smaller. If Kiara and her family hadn’t stopped that day, Fos would have continued to suffer and would have certainly died.

Thankfully, now he has a home and is getting the love he deserves! Thank you Kiara for having a compassionate heart and saving Fos’ life! Share away, people!

“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. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. 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...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
