Heartwarming Rescue Of A Dog Who Was Terribly Injured After Getting Attacked By Three Dogs

No matter how hard we try, sometimes, we cannot keep our poor pets from getting injured. It's not always within our control. We can only do our very best to help rescue them. We've seen it many times before. We've seen a dog slip and fall off a cliff during a walk only to thankfully be rescued, we've seen a stray injured cat pick a human to adopt and rescue it. It's not just pets either. A while back, there was that incredible story about the goose who waited for her injured mate to get out of surgery.

All animals need help sometimes, but Arima - Arima is special, because while it's true that she needed help, she also had to fight for herself, fight to stay alive. And today, she is happier than ever.

Story written by Rosa Gamazo. Check out pics and read more of Arima's story below!

Arima's story is will definitely warm your heart. This beautiful female Scottish Terrier was on her daily walk when suddenly three dogs viciously attacked her. Her family could not afford the cost of the hospitalization, and La Candela, an animal sanctuary in Seville, Spain took her to save her life.
The bites from the other dogs were so bad that three of her legs and one of her eyes were compromised. Her future was not looking good, but Arima showed such a desire to thrive that Lucia (the person in charge of the sanctuary) couldn't just put her to sleep.

Lucia made it very clear that they did not want Arima to suffer. Her right front leg and hind left leg had to be amputated, the latter only partially. The wounds in the right hind leg also caused her a great loss of tissue. Her eye had a really bad ulcer, which the treatment helped make a bit better. It sounds devastating, but Arima's energy is so amazing that instead of being depressed and sad, she is always happy and licking everyone's faces.

The most important thing for the sanctuary, and particularly for Lucia, is giving Arima the quality of life that she deserves. She has gone through a few surgeries now, and though it's not over yet all she wants are belly rubs and to be held. The love of this little creature is incommensurable.

She needs to wear diapers, but thankfully she looks so cute in them, and she also needs a special food diet. All she wants in this life is to give love. It's amazing how a little creature like this can give us this incredible lesson for life. Her next step would be to get a custom-made prosthetic designed by Bionicpets.
After all the surgeries, she is happy as a clam and is showing the world that she can make it. If you want to contribute to help make the life of Arima a better one you can donate to santuariolacandela.com
