A few weeks ago, while walking near her home in Peru, Vanessa Grandez spotted a small, furry figure collapsed on the roadside. Arriving closer, she learned the heartbreaking truth.
It was an abandoned dog who’d been hit by a car. Though seemingly lifeless at first, the pup was in fact still alive.
“When he was run over, nobody helped him,” Grandez told The Dodo.
But now help had arrived.
Grandez immediately swept the dog into her arms and rushed him to a veterinarian. There, it was discovered that he’d suffered a broken spine in the accident and would require emergency surgery.
To cover the cost, Grandez started a fundraiser — though that wouldn’t be all she did to help.
Naming the pup Peluchin, Grandez opened her home to him to begin his road to recovery.
Under Grandez’s care, Peluchin’s spirit quickly healed, revealing him to be a joyful, energetic dog.
Sadly, however, his body would take more healing yet.
Moving about the house, Peluchin appeared to have lost the use of his rear legs.
He’d need to relearn to walk.
