Be Warned- This is Sad...


EMERGENCY

Little Trooper Needs Your Help!!!




Tears streamed down Jodi's face as she called together Little Shelter's Emergency Rescue Team. Someone - no name given - phoned with tragic news. A speeding car had slammed into a tiny Shih-Tzu pup. The caller was not even sure if the baby was still alive. All that was certain was that the injuries were horrific, and the little dog needed help - FAST!



When the team arrived at the scene, Little Trooper was in shock. Yet, somehow, he knew that love and hope had arrived. He slowly opened his soulful brown eyes that seemed to quietly say, "Thank you for coming to save my life." As Jodi bent down to comfort his broken body, Little Trooper softly licked away her tears. Then, gentle hands, a tiny stretcher, and a speeding van all worked together to bring the mangled dog to the veterinarian's office. Even before X-rays were taken, Dr. Liguori, who does many orthopedic surgeries, knew that equipment that is more specialized would be needed. The films confirmed the initial diagnosis: Little Trooper, barely ten months old, has a completely shattered pelvis and a badly fractured leg.

"This is the worst hip injury I have ever seen," stated the somber vet. "It is a miracle that this puppy survived."



A specialist was called in, and surgery is scheduled for Monday.
