20 Dogs Before and After Rescue from Different Kinds of Suffering

#3 Marco

Marco's 2019 narrative captures the worst and best sides of animal rescue. Found attached to a fence and left to suffer in appalling conditions, Marco's body was badly infected with several wounds. With little chance for his survival through even the first night, the rescue crew who discovered him operated with heavy hearts. His illness was so severe that every inch of his body showed evidence of infection. The path of healing and resiliency that followed was remarkable. The committed veterinary team worked nonstop over several demanding months following an aggressive treatment plan including regular wound cleaning, drainage operations, and a complicated regimen of antibiotics and drugs. Marco's determination to live became stronger every day, and their tenacity paid off as he progressively displayed symptoms of improvement. His recovery is a potent reminder of the amazing power of dogs and the relentless commitment of people who struggle to save them.
