I received this from Adelyn (adelyn2lim@yahoo.com):
A fortnight ago. tired, exhausted after 14 hours of non stop work, looking forward to a good night’s sleep, I came upon a stray dog at 2.30am injured badly after a hit and run.
After an hour of debating how to get the dog to a vet hospital cos every movement caused him great pain, we managed (i.e after having to cajole and wake up some friends to get out of bed and help) to get him to hospital.
Being a Friday, we actually got his blood results and x-ray on Monday 9/4/10 and were recommended to take him to another vet cos both of the dog’s hind legs were broken and he cannot walk at all.
Poor, poor thing whom we have now named Patches, has one of the sweetest disposition I have ever seen in a stray. No matter how much pain he feels, I have not heard a single growl from him much less a snarl! All he ever does is wag his tail at you.
Anyways, here we go on Tuesday transporting him to the vet in Taman Megah and prognosis was, yes, he needed surgery scheduled for that Thursday. By the way, did I mention he pooped in the car??? Not really his fault though, he did whine to be let out but Sorry, Patches, me no understand doggie language!
It’s now the 25th and Patches is well on the road to recovery! The feeling of happiness when we see him hobble around is beyond words!!!
Now…comes the hard part…he is due to be released from the vet on Tuesday 27th April and we now desperately need someone to foster, care and give him the love and compassion he so desperately requires.
So, please, all of us out there full of compassion, someone, anyone???
Adelyn now needs a fosterer for Patches. If you can help, please contact her directly at the email given above.
