SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – An abandoned dog that was discovered experiencing dreadful injuries is making a “paw-some” recovery, as the very same animal rescue group that brought him in for treatment took another dog discovered hurt on a South Florida street to an animal health center.
7News caught Justice soon prior to he was launched from Knowles Snapper Creek Animal Hospital in Southwest Miami-Dade, Sunday afternoon. His face is that of a puppy that never ever quit.
“He’s a good dog. As injured as he was, as abused as he was, he was still very, very affectionate, very happy, wagging his tail, letting me walk him wherever I needed him to,” said Jonathan Giraldo, the man who hurried to Justice’s rescue
Veterinarians at the animal health center have actually finished the canine’s stab injuries with stitches.
It was a little over a week back when the puppy was discovered in Pompano Beach suffering from stab wounds to his face, chest and upper body.
Giraldo stayed by Justice’s side on Sunday.
“I feel really happy that he got the help he needed,” he said. “Hopefully we find him a home soon.”
While Justice begins his brand-new “leash” on life, another dog begins her battle.
Cindy Mucciaccio with iHeart Animal Rescue said she received the call for help.
“There was a lady, a homeless lady who was pouring water on her, throwing toys at her, and that I should try to come down and help the dog, that it was just hit by a car,” said Mucciaccio.
Mucciaccio discovered the dog, now called Hope, in poor shape.
“The homeless lady was wheeling her around. I have videos and pictures of wheeling her around the street,” said Mucciaccio, “and I literally got out — she was screaming, ‘Don’t take the dog, you’re stealing the dog’ — so I literally grabbed the dog, and I put her in the back of my car and I drove straight here.”
Mucciaccio said Hope was not able to utilize her hind legs, so a stretcher drew out to bring her within.
Hope and Justice deal with a long roadway of healing ahead. However, their rescuers said their sights are set on survival and permanently houses.
As of late Sunday night, there is no word about the degree of Hope’s injuries.
