While veterinarians would love to be able to save every single animal that gets brought through their door, they are often forced to put animals to sleep if there’s no hope they can recover.
And by the time a weeks-old baby pit bull mix was brought in to the vet, she was in such poor shape after being hit by a car that everyone was sure the best thing to do was put her out of her misery and put her to sleep since she was in critical condition.
The baby, who had been born a stray, had been hit by a car, which had shattered her pelvis, hip, and leg and was left to die. By the time animal control officers even found her, she had been lying in excruciating pain for days all alone, and they figured she was already dead.
When they realized she was still breathing, they carried her as gently as possible to the vet, where she could finally be put out of her misery. “Basically animal control made the decision to put the dog down,” said Jason Flatt, founder of Friends to the Forlorn Pitbull Rescue. “They picked the dog up and the dog was suffering.”
The vet agreed that putting her down was the only option, but just before he was about to do it, the puppy, who they named Eve, wagged her tail as best as she could and kissed the vet.
The vet reached out to Jason and explained Eve’s situation, and he was happy to take her in despite facing $9,000 in medical bills to heal. Miraculously, however, just a month later Eve’s bones had healed by themselves and now only requires one $2,100 operation to place a metal plate over her leg bone
