Animal cruelty is a widespread issue in the world, but there’s a touching tale of resilience that deserves recognition. Recently, a small pup was discovered in Can Tho, Vietnam, trapped inside a trash bag. Her breathing was restricted, and she was destined to suffer a slow and excruciating death. Fortunately, a courageous individual intervened and rescued her.

While Lien was heading back home from the grocery store, she noticed a bag that was moving. As an animal lover, she couldn’t ignore the feeling that there was a creature inside. Upon opening the bag, she discovered a small and wounded puppy gasping for breath, which broke her heart. Despite the long odds, the puppy had somehow managed to stay alive in that bag for an unknown length of time. However, the poor creature was in dire need of medical assistance, and Lien realized that time was of the essence if the puppy was going to survive.

In a rush, she brought the puppy to our shelter where our veterinary staff was ready to attend to her needs for emergency treatment. The poor puppy was in such a frail state that she could hardly budge, but she put up a valiant effort to survive. We managed to steady her breathing and administer the much-needed pain relief to alleviate her suffering.

It remains a mystery as to who could have committed such a heartless act of leaving a defenseless puppy in a garbage bag. Nonetheless, what’s certain is that this little survivor has an entire community of individuals advocating for her well-being. We’re delighted to share that this puppy is thriving now. Although she still has a lengthy rehabilitation ahead of her, she has made remarkable strides in a brief period. Her resilience is awe-inspiring, and we are confident that she will overcome this ordeal.

This account serves as a beacon of hope for animals that have suffered neglect, maltreatment, and abandonment by their owners. By providing them with proper care and attention, they are not only able to survive but also flourish. The credit goes to individuals like Lien who exhibit empathy and generosity in rescuing and rehabilitating these creatures, demonstrating that every life is valuable and worth saving.
