An abandoned dog on the verge of death has made a miraculous recovery after she was saved by a kind-hearted man who refused to give up on her despite her condition.
Zach Skow took pity in Cora the dog after coming across the poodle who suffered a broken back, two broken legs, and a shattered pelvis.
“She had severely broken front legs, a broken back and a totally shattered pelvis. With those injuries, I would assume she was run over by a car,” Skow recalled.
After finding the immobile pooch, Mr. Skow took the animal to a clinic where a vet suggested euthanization due to Cora’s grim-looking condition.
Nevertheless, the Good Samaritan refused to give up on the miniature poodle and invested tons of time and money to give her a fighting chance.
“We tried to save the legs with surgery but one of them had a bone infection and had to be amputated and the other one couldn’t be fixed and had to be amputated as well,” he added.
“She was depressed – it was a shock for her to lose her legs and it was very painful for her to be immobile … Now Cora is the rock star of them all.”
As the kind-hearted dog owner explained, he helped Cora learn how to walk again with the help of a mini cart. In a matter of months, however, the pooch was already comfortable hopping around on her hind legs, like a kangaroo, without any support.
“Through perseverance and dogged will she learned how to walk on her own. We gave her space and we let her be – we didn’t want to be overly sympathetic and carry her everywhere,” Skow explained.
Nowadays, following a miraculous recovery, the smile on Cora’s face suggests that she’s living her life to the fullest, whereas her new owner said “she is the friendliest, happiest dog” he’s ever seen.
