It’s the touching rescue story of a severely injured dog who sought refuge in an ancient temple. He stayed behind one of the shrines until the day his rescuers arrived—it was as if his long wait and “prayers” were answered.
The puppy, later named Punkin, was critically injured and had gone to the temple to find shelter. When rescuers arrived, they found him cowering in one corner and looking dejected with his “neck soaked in blood from several deep wounds.”
“When our rescuers arrived they found him sitting but otherwise in a state of shock, almost motionless and unresponsive,” the organization wrote. “He was severely dehydrated from blood loss and was in critical condition.”
Punkin was then transported to the hospital where he received immediate medical care for the deep wounds on his neck.
Animal Aid Unlimited said that “it took several days of IV fluids and medication before his condition had stabilized.”
Fortunately, with tender loving care from the rescuers, Punkin was able to grow stronger and recover.
After four weeks, Punkin was finally able to run and play with other dogs. And with one glance at him, one wouldn’t have known that this was the pup that was on the brink of death weeks ago.
