20 Dogs Before and After Rescue from Different Kinds of Suffering

#17 Connie

U.S. Coast Guard officials came upon an amazing circumstance during what appeared to be a standard container inspection that would result in a miraculous rescue. Desperate barking and scratching from within a sealed container led to the discovery of a gorgeous brown dog who had somehow survived an unthinkable trauma. Connie, as she would subsequently be known, had shown amazing will to survive by spending nearly eight days in total darkness without food or drink. The first medical check turned up not only her expected tiredness from her journey but also a diagnosis of heartworms. Still, the most shocking find was that this strong survivor was expecting puppies. Connie's mother instincts had kept her going despite great suffering, safeguarding not only her own life but also those of her unborn pups. Her narrative is a potent reminder of the incredible will and strength animals may show against hardship.
