Knowing there are countless animals wandering the streets is truly heartbreaking. Yet, it’s comforting to know that there are compassionate people in the world who dedicate themselves to helping these animals every day. One such story of hope began when a puppy was abandoned at a local mall, enduring unimaginable suffering. People chased him, and he was struck by four cars. Thankfully, one of the mall workers noticed the pain in the pup’s eyes and began bringing him tasty treats. As days passed, the worker realized the dog needed more than just a few snacks—he needed professional help.
The poor pup continued limping around the parking lot and resting under a tree, unaware of what was about to happen next. Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy, a rescue organization in Irvine, California, heard about the situation and immediately set out with her team to help. The moment she saw the little dog, her heart broke.
His face reflected all the pain and suffering he had endured; he seemed to long for nothing more than a good meal and a comfortable place to rest his weary head. And soon, he would have both. To avoid scaring the pup away, Hall and her fellow rescuers decided to set up a humane trap and patiently wait for him to walk in. And soon enough, he did! As he realized the rescuers were approaching, the pup wagged his tail in delight, sensing he was finally being saved.
The Californian rescuer quickly got him into the car and rushed him to the vet for a comprehensive medical checkup. The vets discovered that the pup, now named Bruiser, had a broken pelvis that would likely need surgery. He stayed at the veterinary clinic to receive the necessary medical care and pain relief.
Despite everything, Bruiser proved to be one of the sweetest pups imaginable, always eager to shower his new human friends with love and affection.
“It always amazes me how scared they are on the streets and then how thankful they are after they know they were rescued,” Hall wrote in a Facebook post.
As Bruiser waited for his surgery, which was expected to involve placing a plate in his pelvis, he was surrounded by loving people who kept him entertained and well-fed. But then, something remarkable happened—Bruiser began to heal on his own! The vets determined that he no longer needed the costly surgery; instead, with a bit of rest and a lot of love, he was recovering naturally.
“Bruiser will be on cage rest with his amazing foster mom. His hip fractures are in line to heal on their own,” Hall shared in an update.
With his incredible foster mom by his side, Bruiser is sure to make a full recovery in no time. Soon, he’ll be running around, enjoying life to the fullest with his future forever family. Bruiser deserves nothing less than a world filled with love and joy, and that’s exactly what’s in store for him!
What these dogs went through must have been terrifying and painful. That's why we're demanding true and complete justice for these pups and their family.
