Svetlana Ostabekova, an experienced rescuer, was called to assist a dog in distress. While driving through the desert, she spotted the dog from a distance. As she got closer, she realized it was an old, defenseless dog named Bunny.
The poor creature lay still, seeking shelter under a makeshift pile of tiles and stones, having recently faced the awful experience of being abandoned by his owner due to his age.
Bunny was swarmed by flies and insects, too weak to shoo them away. His eyes were filled with despair and he didn’t react as anyone approached him. His wounds were painful, yet he seemed resigned to his fate, keeping his eyes half-closed. The sight broke Svetlana’s heart, and she quickly took him to a hospital for help.
Gently, Svetlana placed Bunny in her car, laying him on a soft blanket. Throughout the journey, Bunny remained motionless, and Svetlana worriedly checked if he was still breathing.
To her relief, when they arrived at the hospital, Bunny regained consciousness. In the safety and comfort of the clinic, he managed to lift his head, despite having numerous injuries, swollen legs, and damaged eyes.
The medical team attended to his wounds, making him more comfortable. Gradually, Bunny came to his senses and ate well after enduring a long period of starvation in the wild.
Watching him eat with enthusiasm filled Svetlana with deep satisfaction. Bunny’s condition was dire; he suffered from necrosis, fractured leg bones, and liver and kidney damage. It was nothing short of a miracle that he had survived such harsh conditions.
Svetlana was deeply moved, believing Bunny should have been enjoying his old age in a loving home. Astonishingly, Bunny began to stand and walk sooner than the doctors expected. The love and care from Svetlana seemed to inspire Bunny to fight for his life.
Though still frail, he showed his gratitude to Svetlana through expressive eyes. His road to recovery would be long and demanding, but the team had faith in his healing. Svetlana vowed to stay by his side, hoping he would find peace and health in the future.
