What Happened When Rescuers Found a Dog With a Broken Spine
A helpless dog was left on the side of the road, struggling to survive. His back legs were paralyzed and he had a fractured spine. This heartbreaking discovery shocked the kind person who found him. Despite being unable to do much, they gave him food and water and quickly called for help.
When the rescuer arrived, she was greeted with a tragic sight—the dog lay under a box for shade, barely able to move. Without wasting time, she picked him up and rushed him to the vet. The dog, later named General, weighed only 3.5 pounds, and his condition was worse than anyone had imagined. He needed immediate surgery to fix his broken spine.
The surgery was difficult, but General showed incredible strength during recovery. His journey wasn’t over, though. He had to undergo several treatments and even another smaller surgery. But this little dog’s heart was as strong as ever. He faced every challenge with bravery, his spirit never broken.
After 18 days in the hospital, General was finally well enough to leave. His rescuer took him to a foster home, where he would wait for a family to adopt him. It wasn’t long before a loving family fell in love with General. They knew he couldn’t walk properly, but they welcomed him with open arms. His new family adored him, and even their other dogs accepted him as one of their own.
Despite his disability, General was full of energy. He loved to play with his toys and his canine friends, and his bright spirit amazed everyone around him. His new family wanted to give him the best chance at walking again. After consulting with a vet, they tried stem cell therapy, hoping it would help. Unfortunately, the vet’s prediction came true—General would never walk on his own again.
Even though his hind legs remained paralyzed, General’s will to live never wavered. His family bought him a dog wheelchair to help him move around more easily. After some practice, General learned to use it, and his joy was clear. He was thrilled to be able to move freely again, just like any other dog.
No matter what life had thrown at him—being abandoned, his spine broken, and his legs paralyzed—General’s spirit remained unbroken. Thanks to the care and love from kind people, he overcame every challenge and continued to enjoy life to the fullest.
