A powerful video from the Caring Animal Shelter channel tells a story that has touched millions: the journey of a tiny, dying puppy named Tianci (meaning “Gift from God”) and his incredible second chance at life.
1. A Heartbreaking Discovery
The story begins on a somber note when a rescuer finds a tiny puppy lying motionless by the roadside. Initially appearing lifeless, a closer look reveals a faint rise and fall of his chest. The puppy was severely malnourished, weighing only 609 grams, and covered in thorny plants from being abandoned for a long time.
2. The Fight for Survival
At the veterinary clinic, the situation was dire. Tianci was so small and dehydrated that doctors struggled to find a vein. However, after receiving emergency glucose, he showed his first sign of strength by sticking out his tongue to lick food. This tiny spark of life was the beginning of his transformation.
3. Finding Love and a “Big Brother”
Tianci was adopted by a kind woman who brought him into a home filled with love. While he was initially terrified and hid in corners, the family’s resident dog, Nico, stepped in as a guardian. Nico treated Tianci like his own, grooming him and watching over every step the puppy took.
4. A Remarkable Growth Journey
-
After 1 Month: The change was massive. Tianci became lively, naughty, and developed a healthy appetite. He even learned how to use the “toilet” and started playfully “fighting” with Nico.
-
After 2 Months: He grew so fast that he was nearly the size of Nico. His fear was replaced by a goofy, happy personality.
-
After 3 Months: Tianci was unrecognizable. He had transformed into a beautiful, strong, and energetic white dog, full of curiosity about the world.
5. Adventures and a Growing Family
Tianci’s family grew even larger with the adoption of two more rescues, Baibai and Nini. The pack went on amazing adventures together:
-
The Beach: Tianci showed his bravery by charging into the ocean waves while the others were still hesitant.
-
The Snow: The dogs experienced snow for the first time, running and playing in the white powder with pure joy.
A Message of Hope
The story of Tianci concludes with a beautiful reminder: “The best way to save stray animals is to give them a home.” What started as a tragic abandonment ended in a life of travel, friendship, and unconditional love.
