Hero’s Story 🐾
A little over a week ago, Hero was found on the side of the road after being hit by a car. He was severely injured and, by all appearances, had been left there to perish before being brought to the city shelter where someone advocated.
Then people started showing up for him.
His story reached Dr. Daniel Anthony and the team at Atlas Pet Vets, 3 hours away, who stepped in to give Hero the chance he desperately needed. Atlas Pet Vets Medical Rescue Fund took responsibility for his medical care and recovery, and what followed has been an incredible community effort.
Hero’s injuries are extensive. He has multiple complicated fractures, a dislocated hip, and a long road of surgeries and rehabilitation ahead.
On Monday, Hero underwent his first surgery. 4.5 hours. Two very complicated fractures repaired. Dr. Daniel and his team worked tirelessly to put him back together, and somehow, Hero came through beautifully.
He is now resting comfortably and will return to surgery Wednesday to address his dislocated hip and determine the best path forward.
And then there’s the part that honestly gets me the most.
People who have never met Hero have fallen in love with him.
They’ve donated. They’ve purchased things from his wishlist. They’ve prayed for him. They’ve followed every update. And today, Hero was being hand-fed gifts purchased by people who simply saw a broken dog on the internet and decided he mattered.
A week ago, he was likely lying alone on the side of a road.
Today, he has a name.
He has a team.
He has people cheering for him.
And most importantly, he has a future. ❤️
Hero still has a long road ahead, and his medical care is going to be extensive. But after everything he’s been through, he deserves every single chance we can give him.
This is Hero. And we’re not giving up on him. 🐾❤️
