Surviving the cold, harsh streets is hard for any dog, even more so for a little puppy who has found himself in a very difficult situation.
So when Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy, a rescue organization based in Irvine, California, heard about a small puppy stuck in a dead-end canal, she knew she had to go help immediately.
However, as it was a serious and difficult rescue mission, she had to call for reinforcements.
Rescue Mission
After contacting his friend Nelson and informing him of the situation, the two Californian rescuers went to the scene, determined to save the puppy from the predicament he had gotten himself into.
When they arrived, Hall and Nelson weren’t sure how to approach the rescue. But since they didn’t know how long the puppy had been there without food or water, Nelson knew he didn’t have much time left.
“Nelson showed incredible courage. He went down into the canal. He didn’t know how he was going to get out, but he didn’t give up.” Hall wrote in a Facebook post.
Unfortunately, when the puppy saw Nelson approaching him, he was so scared that he tried to run away.
But Nelson did not give up. After some time, he managed to catch him with a net and find a way out of the canal. get back to safety with the puppy.
As soon as she had him in her arms, Hall comforted the puppy, let him know that nothing bad would ever happen to him againbefore taking him to his friend Kristina’s house, where he spent the night.
Road to Recovery
Unfortunately, the puppy, now named Sammy, was not in the best condition.
Besides always being nervous, he had a fox tail stuck between his two toesmaking the area extremely painful and eventually infected.
Fortunately, he was able to have surgery the next day.
With all the amazing donations and the incredible veterinary team, Sammy’s operation was a success.
“He is recovering and doing very well. He had a tooth extracted. He will have to take painkillers, medication and antibiotics,” She wrote.
New life
As Sammy recovered, one of the vet techs decided that his recovery would be much easier if he was in a foster home rather than at the clinic.
So, she decided to take him in.
And the rest is history!
Hall said the technician fell in love with him immediately and wanted nothing more than to make him a part of her loving family. And who could say no to that?
Sammy is now living the life of his dreams surrounded by loving humans and an amazing furry brother which turns every day into an incredible adventure.
A big thank you to all the humans involved in this amazing rescue! You made a puppy happy beyond words.
THANKS!
