It’s common for strays to become aggressive and scared, life has been tough for these animals, that’s why rescuers would do everything they can to earn their trust.
It’s always hard to see stray dogs, and we know all too well that all of them deserve a second chance in life and to be loved. However, rescuing these dogs is definitely not an easy task. Most of them require effort and patience because they have trust issues, especially those who have been abused by humans.
When Annie Hart from Rescue From The Heart received a call about a stray poodle who’d been hit by a car in South L.A, she immediately asked for Eldad Hagar from Hope For Paws to help. Together, these two rescuers rushed to find the dog – hoping it wasn’t too late.
They expected the poodle to be aggressive and scared, but despite the dog’s injuries, she didn’t seem to be aggressive, in fact, she seemed to be approachable. Annie touched the poodle, and the dog allowed her.
After Annie felt that the poodle was ready, she gently secured a leash around her neck. Instead of standing up and bringing her to the car, she wanted to establish security first, so she held the poodle in her lap.
After a few minutes, Annie was shocked when the precious poodle licked her face, as if to say “thank you”.
Obviously, this was not at all expected from a stray dog who has been hit by a car! Annie was in tears, and we can see in the video how precious this moment is. Even if the poodle was hurt, she still managed to show so much affection – everyone would be brought into tears!
After the sweet bond that this two made, it was time to bring her to the vet. They decided to name her “Layla” and she was also very sweet with her vet, showing her eagerness and happiness.
It’s like she knew that her life was going to change.
As it turns out that rescuing Layla was the real easy part because after shaving her fur, they discovered something heartbreaking.
The medical staff learned that Layla’s intestines were severely damaged. She was in a very bad shape and she was hospitalized for two weeks.
Everyone was worried for sweet Layla.
With her battle, Layla was definitely not alone. Every day her foster family visited her, showing her love and giving her the strength she needed to recover. Soon enough, Layla got better and better, she started showing her bright personality.
Finally, she was ready to go home.
Layla may no longer have her gorgeous curly fur, but she is definitely ready to live her new life to the fullest! Still as sweet, giving everyone she adores her wet kisses.
Finally, Layla is home with Bray and Paul, happy, healthy, and able to give out more kisses to everyone she loves.
