While walking down the street, we stumbled upon a dog lying exhausted in front of a hair salon. Her long fur was dirty, one eye was injured, and her unusually large belly suggested she was both pregnant and unwell. After offering her food, she slowly stood up, revealing several small wounds on her legs and belly. We quickly took her home, where she rested and regained some energy. Three days later, she gave birth to a healthy puppy, but her belly remained large, raising further concerns.

Despite her exhaustion, she lovingly cared for her newborn, showcasing the incredible strength of a mother’s instinct. Concerned about her health, we took her to the vet. The diagnosis: a 3.1kg benign tumor in her abdomen. She underwent surgery immediately, and thankfully, the operation was a success. Her stomach returned to normal, and with continuous care, she slowly regained her strength.

Over time, her wounds healed, and she could finally stand and play with her puppy. After 38 days, she was fully recovered, ready to embrace a new, happier life. Witnessing her resilience and maternal love was a truly moving experience, reminding us of the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.
