A story about the indifference of passersby and the journey to regain the ability to walk for a dog named Sinead.
1. A Heart-Wrenching Cry by the Roadside
The video begins with a distressing scene of a dog sitting motionless on the shoulder of a road. While hundreds of people passed by every day, the small dog could only endure the agony and cry in despair. When the rescue team arrived, they named her Sinead. They noticed she showed signs of having recently given birth or still having puppies, as she was producing milk. The team immediately took her to the center for a check-up while searching the surrounding area for her puppies.
2. Complex Medical Diagnoses
At the rescue station, Sinead underwent a series of health checks:
-
Infectious Disease Testing: Fortunately, the Distemper test came back negative.
-
Organ Health: Blood tests showed that her internal organs were stable.
-
Spinal Injury: Sinead faced severe difficulty moving her hind legs. The team performed X-rays to determine the extent of the spinal damage.
Despite enduring immense physical pain, Sinead remained incredibly gentle and calm, deeply touching the hearts of her caregivers.
3. The Journey to Recovery with Laser Therapy and a Wheelchair
To give Sinead a chance to walk again, the rescue team applied advanced treatment methods:
-
Laser Therapy: This method was used to stimulate the healing of wounds and nerves in the spinal area.
-
Wheelchair Support: Since her hind legs lacked the strength to stand, Sinead was fitted with a customized wheelchair to help her get used to standing and moving again. Caregivers also had to wrap her legs daily to prevent sores caused by friction.
4. Hydrotherapy and Newfound Hope
One of the most moving moments was when Sinead was taken for “hydrotherapy” at the beach for the first time. In the cool water and on the soft sand, Sinead began to make efforts to move her hind legs.
Although the road ahead is long and Sinead requires a patient adopter for special care—as the rescue station environment is not ideal for a dog using a wheelchair—her spirit has been powerfully revived. From an abandoned and hurting animal, Sinead now feels the love and warmth of human kindness.
