Baby's Story - Husky puppy found on side of the road makes amazing recovery. He just turned 2! New pics inside.

[meade916]

Today, me and Brandon were out front of the shop having a morning cup of coffee like a normal day, when we noticed a puppy across the street.  Normally it isn't even that out of the ordinary to see dogs on the loose in my area as there is a neighborhood right down the street. Pitbulls, Chihuaua's are the usual street runners.  I CRINGE when i see this because the street is pretty busy.  I always hope they will just go home.  This time it was different.  A little Husky just sitting by himself.  We slowly walked up to him, expecting him to run (like they usually do), but he didn't.  So i scooped him up.  He felt very emaciated and looked sick.  Then the neighbor (tenant next to my shop) says "look, i think he got hit by a car".  I look down and see his guts hanging out of his behind.  I seriously went into panic mode. I didn't know what to do so i grabbed a towel from the shop and rushed him out to the nearest vet.   The doctor wasn't in yet they told me and that i should go to the emergency pet center in Roseville. So i took him another 10 miles to Atlantic Street Pet Emergency Center.  Seemed like the longest drive EVER!  He was in my Lexus, on my  suede seat wrapped in a towel and screaming like an injured animal would.  

 

 

 

 

Why is his name Baby? because i must have called him that 1000 times in that long trip to the vet.  

 

So when i got there they told me that since he didn't have an owner that someone had to claim him or they couldn't work on him.  So i signed the papers.  He is now my responsibility.  I said "do whatever you gotta do".

 

The main thing i was worried about besides the prolapsed rectum (which was almost as long as his tail it seemed), was Parvo.  I have 4 dogs so i can't bring Parvo home.    After leaving him there all day, they called and said he was negative for diseases and all put back together.  I was EXTREMELY excited.  So i went and got him

Ok there is a sad part to this story.  When i got back from the vet (the first trip), i found out there was a plastic bin across the street about 10-15 feet from where i found him.  The neighbor told me he saw a blue and white truck toss it out earlier that morning.  I went over and looked...it was a dead Husky pup in the bin.  Probably it's sibling   

So this is where i am at...the dog is already a LOT better.  He is fitting right in.   The dead puppy is terrible.  The plastic bin is on it's side and the lid appears to have scratches. It looks like he got out but his brother did not.

 

So "Baby" is now running around the back yard and in the house like a new dog.  Still sick and skinny, but eating good and in great spirits.

You're a good man Mr. Meade.  I'm proud to be a part of your community.  Keep up the good work, and love that adorable pupper!

Kudos, brother.

I'm glad I didn't see that truck. I'd likely be in jail now, how in the world do people do this kind of thing? I just don't fucking get it....

Little guy's gonna have a good life now. It's a shame there are people like that though. I'm with SRP. I'd have lost my shit if I saw it (and knew what he was tossing, since that unfortunately wasn't the case for your neighbor).

Good looking out Steve.

Tell you what that's a good looking dog.  Also thumbs up to you and your family taking him end.

Well done mate, I am not a huge animal guy but it still makes the blood boil when people mistreat them so badly
