It was a cold rainy night when I was driving home and saw a shadow moving by the roadside. I stopped the car, got out, and looked—it was a dog, skin and bones, matted fur, with obvious wounds on its body. It saw me and tried to stand up but failed. I picked it up and put it in the car; it didn’t struggle, just shivered.
After examination, the vet told me: “This is a mixed breed dog, about 11 years old, weighing only half of normal. Has severe skin disease, almost all teeth fallen out, and joint problems. To be honest, at this age and health condition, many hospitals would recommend… euthanasia.”
“No,” I said, “I’m going to save it.”
The First Week from Hell
The first week after bringing it home was the hardest week of my life. It completely distrusted humans, trembling whenever anyone approached. Wouldn’t eat or drink unless no one was watching. I named it “Lucky”—hoping it would be lucky enough to get through this.
First Trust
Lucky first showed trust in the third week after coming to my home. That day I was sitting on the floor, and Lucky was on the other side of the room. Suddenly, it stood up, slowly, step by step, walking toward me. It stopped in front of me for a moment, and then—it put its head on my knee. I instantly burst into tears.
Physical Recovery
After three months of care, Lucky’s physical condition improved significantly: weight increased from 15 pounds to 22 pounds, skin disease basically healed, joint problems alleviated through medication and supplements. The vet was shocked: “This is simply a miracle.”
