“The dog was too terrified to move at first.”
The brand-new owner of a deaf and blind ‘miracle’ dog has actually shared the heartbreaking story of how the puppy was left discarded by a canal.
The RSPCA said a walker who passed the dog initially, called Morris, at first believed it was a ‘pile of rags’. Upon closer assessment, nevertheless, they found that it was in fact a living, breathing, puppy.
An agent for the RSPCA explained that the very first individual to see Morris ‘thought the poor pet was dead he was in such a poor condition’, reports the BBC.
They continued: “But then he could see the neglected dog was breathing but he was too terrified to move, so he carried him home to help him recuperate before taking him to a nearby vets.”
The veterinarian got in touch with the RSPCA and Morris was hurried the charity’s Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for first aid.
“Staff immediately got to work to shave off 1.3kg of matted fur, which was preventing him from moving,” the charity’s agent said.
“Once they could see his face, they realised he was also blind in one eye and the other had so many cataracts he needed an operation and they were unable to save his sight.”
Ol’ Morris was then required to the RSPCA Lancashire East branch where he ‘landed firmly on his paws’ and a pensioner rapidly embraced him.
82-year-old, Ms Newhall, who has actually now offered Morris his permanently home says he enjoys ‘playing with his tenis ball’ and enjoys it when her child comes round with her dog.
Ms Newhall explained: “Morris is a beautiful little dog and enjoys snuggling up to me on the settee. He is great company and when you think where he has come from it is a miracle he is still here.”
My heart.
