Video shows a disabled senior dog transformed and settling into a new home
Helen, a 15-year-old pup who is blind and deaf, was discovered buried behind a sidewalk slab in an attempt to seek refuge from two chasing dogs. Despite her age and disabilities, Helen managed to find a hiding spot on that bitterly cold day. Fortunately, her story took a positive turn due to the intervention of animal control officers and compassionate veterinarians. They shaved her matted, burr-covered coat and ensured she received the medical attention she desperately needed.
The video documenting the rescue journey of the senior disabled dog, from the streets to Michigan Doodle Rescue Connect (MDRC), has garnered 23,000 likes so far. The vets shaved and bathed Helen, then wrapped her in a cozy blanket and took her to a rescue home where she would no longer need to fend for herself.
