An abandoned little dog who didn’t even have the strength to get up was waiting for someone to come to him to offer him the help he needed so much.
The animal, a mixture of Beagle and hound, lay sitting on the street, could not even move. A good Samaritan who was passing through the area saw him could not have an indifferent look at his suffering, he knew that the dog needed to be taken care of or a fatal outcome awaited him.
When he approached the little dog he noticed that her two hind legs were swollen and bent, one of her front legs was also in poor condition.
Unfortunately, the place where the dog was homeless is an area where it has become common to see abandoned animals. Many people have come to the area under construction to leave their pets to their fate.
Apparently, the little dog had been in that place for two days or more, the noble man who found her did not hesitate to ask for help from the Stray Rescue of St. Louis, to rescue her and for her to receive medical attention.
While the staff of the animal shelter came to the place, the man helped the dog using what he had with him, took off his coat and put it on as a blanket to protect him from the cold he was suffering.
The dog felt comforted, finally after so long someone took pity on her suffering. The poor girl could not walk by herself to seek help, in case no one became sensitized she would simply be there in deplorable conditions, suffering without finding any kind of relief.
Her legs were fractured, she was transferred in a vehicle and she remained calm. With a lot of love they carried her in their arms, taking great care not to cause her pain due to the injuries she had on her paws, she could not move.
Although she had known the worst side of humanity, she trusted the people who rescued her, she felt that they genuinely cared about her pain.
After being evaluated at a veterinary clinic, they learned that the dog had multiple fractures on two of her paws.
Despite her injuries, the dog really wanted to live

The damage she had suffered was very serious, she needed to undergo a surgical procedure to recover from her injuries.
Those who rescued her created a fundraising campaign to collect the money needed to pay for her treatment because they did not have enough resources. Medical expenses amounted to $7,000 up to that time.
The dog was called Polar Express, the poor thing had a long way to go until she managed to recover. But the most important thing is that she is well cared for by veterinary doctors willing to do everything possible to guarantee her health, and also, by loving rescuers who offer her their comfort and protection.
There is no justification for leaving a dog abandoned as they did with Polar, the poor thing was left to her fate in a place where other pets are also left as if it were a garbage bag.
The effort we make to raise our voice for the defense of animal rights and to raise awareness about the importance of assuming the commitment to protect them until their last day will never be enough.
Adopting a pet is not a decision made lightly, it is a great responsibility. Dogs are innocent, vulnerable and dependent beings. They give us their loyalty and unconditional love and deserve that we reciprocate, it is painful to know so many cases of animals that receive unfair treatment.
Polar is recovering and it comforts us to know that she was rescued just in time. I hope that all the homeless animals have the same outcome, that they are rescued and put to safety. But above all, that there is no other similar case.
We admire the work of those who rescued Polar and changed his fate, we need more such heroes in the world.
