When I was a youngster of eight or nine years, our family pet encountered a vicious attack by another dog while my mother was walking her. Due to the dog being twice her size, we were fortunate that it didn’t cause as much harm as it might have. It’s alarming how much damage dog bites can cause. Shockingly, a small dog lost its life due to a dog attack. However, the silver lining is that Sassie, the little dog, made a complete recovery.
Sidewalk Specials reported that a dog attacked Sassie in the comfort of his own backyard, after another canine intruded. The extent of Sassie’s injuries was severe, and his family was incapable of affording the medical care necessary to nurse him to health. Due to their dire circumstances, they contacted Sidewalk Specials, a South African rescue organization, for assistance. Thankfully, the rescue was willing and able to provide Sassie with the medical attention he required, ultimately reuniting him with his loving family.
This charming photograph captures Sassie, a small dog hailing from De Doorns in Western Cape, South Africa. Unfortunately, this region is notorious for its high levels of poverty and malnourishment among both humans and animals alike. Thankfully, Sidewalk Specials has established its own outreach program to offer assistance to furry friends and their owners in need. Thanks to this program, Sassie had the opportunity to receive veterinary care and stay with his family. However, his case was more complex than initially thought. Sassie required a full month of treatment at the clinic before he could fully recover.
Fortunately, Sidewalk Specials took good care of him by providing his own kennel for sleeping and regular veterinary check-ups. He was able to return home after a month. Please watch the video below, but be advised that it may not be suitable for all viewers.
