There are lives that, once seen, the heart can never forget. This is the story of Bom, an abandoned mother dog found in a state of total exhaustion, yet using her last bit of strength to protect her puppies.
1. Maternal Instinct in a Cold Place
Three months ago, Bom was discovered inside a dilapidated shipping container, amidst a cold and dusty environment. The scene that met the rescuers’ eyes left them speechless:
-
A Ravaged Body: Bom was an old, emaciated dog, barely more than skin and bones. A severe skin disease caused her body to bleed and her fur to fall out in large patches.
-
Silent Sacrifice: Despite being in constant pain and scratching incessantly without a moment’s peace, Bom still held her puppies close to nurse them.
-
Pure Exhaustion: There were moments when Bom would nod off while nursing—not out of peace, but because she was completely spent.
Bom gave birth to two puppies, Tuy and Khai, in the darkness of that old box, without a warm home or any care, guided only by her maternal instinct.
2. The Fight for Survival
Realizing the small family would not survive without immediate action, the rescue team moved them to a hospital in Seoul. The treatment process was incredibly arduous:
-
Intensive Care: Bom had to take medication, undergo regular medicated baths, and endure surgeries for sterilization and breast tumor removal.
-
Strength Through Trust: Miraculously, Bom did not resist. She seemed to understand that this was the final chance for survival for her and her children.
-
A Mother’s Bond: The puppies, Tuy and Khai, constantly clung to their mother, huddling into her chest whenever they felt scared. The three of them became each other’s greatest source of strength.
3. Hope Begins to Bloom
By the third week, the first signs of recovery appeared. Bom’s fur began to grow back, and her small tail gave a slight wag—a true signal of hope. Her once-torn skin gradually improved, and Bom transformed into a stronger mother than ever before.
4. A Happy Ending: A Real Home
The most wonderful news arrived when a kind family named Univers decided to adopt all three of them.
-
A New Life: No more cold streets or dirty boxes; now there are only warm blankets, toys, and loving hugs.
-
True Peace: Bom no longer has to fall asleep from exhaustion. She can now sleep peacefully in a real home, with a heart that has been fully healed.
