It’s impossible not to weep when you see the tragic predicament of abandoned stray dogs. However, not every mother dog is as courageous, tough, and protective of her children as Si Bao.
After being “mercilessly abandoned” by its owner, this dog was engaged in a tragic accident in which her hind legs were crushed by a train. Si Bao’s life appeared dismal until she gave birth to four very gorgeous and healthy pups, who practically became the driving force in this miserable mother dog’s existence.
After recovering the pleasure of living in life after having children, Si Bao restored her spirit and always kept a resilient and strong attitude to take care of her children. Si Bao walked on two front legs, keeping a watchful eye on the children.
Si Bao’s luck continued to smile when the Jill Robinson-founded nonprofit Animals Asia rescued his family and made this heroic mother dog an animal ambassador. As a consequence, Si Bao has been transferred to the organization’s headquarters, where he may begin a new life with his kid rather than struggling to earn a livelihood off the scraps of food that travelers throw away at the train track. His sole surviving is Muddie.
Furthermore, Si Bao has been renamed Lelly, and she is planning to install wheeled prosthetic legs to allow her to move more freely. Three of Lelly’s four pups died of high fever when the organization found them, leaving just Muddie.
Lelly is currently living the good life as a “Asia animal” ambassador for Animals.
Even though she is just a little dog, Lelly exemplifies an unbreakable character that does not give in to hardship.
Planeload of abandoned dogs and cats from Afghanistan arrives in Vancouver
Some of the animals will be reunited with their owners while others will be put up for adoption
Hundreds of animals stranded in Afghanistan arrived in Vancouver on Tuesday night, after more than six months of rescue efforts by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
A total of 158 dogs and 146 cats touched down at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) aboard a specially converted Russian Ilyushin 76-TD aircraft after stops in Turkey and Iceland.
SPCA International said partners in Kabul reached out to them regarding the pets when U.S. forces withdrew from Afghanistan.
The groups hoped to evacuate the animals to North America at the time of the withdrawal, but the volatile situation combined with logistical issues resulted in the delay.
“These animals have been on the plane for quite some time,” Lori Kalef, director of programs for SPCA International, said prior their arrival. “We had to reroute at the last minute due to the conflict going on in Russia.”
From YVR, the animals will be transferred to a specially constructed 1,600-square metre facility.
Kalef said about 66 of the animals will be reunited with their owners, while another two dozen will stay with the SPCA until their owners are able to retrieve them.
The others will be put up for adoption across North America.
Anyone interested in adopting one of the animals can visit the SPCA International website. Applications will be handled by SPCA International and the B.C.-based RainCoast Dog Rescue Society.
Treacherous rescue mission
In a statement, the SPCA said numerous pets were left behind in shelters when their owners fled the country following the Taliban takeover.
A local charity, Kabul Small Animal Rescue, had saved more than 70 dogs from Kabul International Airport and rescued dozens of other animals abandoned by owners when they were forced to flee.
