Amal Andari was recently traveling near Beirut, Lebanon, when she spotted a stray puppy on the side of the road. She had only stopped to give her some water when she noticed a severe head laceration.
When they discovered a gaping wound on her skull, they realized she required immediate medical assistance of a more serious nature.
The small, ailing dog was rushed to a nearby veterinarian, where X-rays revealed that she had been shot dozens of times with a pellet gun, most likely by ‘fun-seeking’ adolescents, and was infected with parvovirus. After her vicious attack, she was injured, blinded, and left to die, but she clung on.
Andari, a volunteer for the animal welfare organization Animals Lebanon, said that the poisoning of homeless dogs is a disturbingly prevalent occurrence in her country.
Despite being injured and blinded as a result of her attack, the puppy, now named Bondok, remained determined to survive. Bondocks is now on the mend and ready to find her special everlasting home in or outside of Lebanon after overcoming the initial 25% survival chance that was given to her.
Bondok is currently cheerful and healthy, but she is still searching for her forever home.
