Some of our planet’s bravest creatures are homeless animals. Entirely alone and vulnerable to the chaotic modern world, homeless animals must be incredibly resourceful and alert to their surroundings at all times. Considering industrialization is booming at exponential rates, these courageous animals who live on the street often fall victim to the tools and machines of man. Sadly, this is what happened to a gentle street dog in Udaipur, India.

Suspected to have been hit by a car, this golden canine was severely injured. If left alone, his chances of survival were slim to none. After receiving calls from concerned citizens, a wonderful rescue group, Animal Aid Unlimited was quick to rescue this devastated animal. Animal Aid Unlimited specializes in rescuing street animals, so they knew just what was needed to be done to save this innocent soul.

After two long arduous days of surgery, months of recovery, and tons of hugs and snuggles, this rescued pup is over the moon jumping for joy right into the arms of his merciful rescuers.
