Huge Mastiff And Puppy Needed Support And Found It In Each Other. Amazing!
How much pain do dogs experience when they recover from an ailment or a serious injury?
There is no way of knowing. One can only guess or try to understand the pain by observing the dog, how one moves, rests, sleeps, eats and plays. The responses and various signs are the only indications and they still don’t tell us how emotionally exhausted or how much in pain they are. Whether we talk about an abandoned dog or one who has been suffering from a severe injury, we can only gauge the pain and not truly relate. Perhaps two dogs can relate to their respective pains. That is what a tale implies at least.
One-year-old Mastiff Olaf had deadly snake bite. He was suffering from the snake bite at a New York City shelter, barely a few days before Christmas. The wound on his leg had a serious infection and it was getting worse. Olaf underwent a surgery at Second Chance Rescue where the emergency care was indeed effective. But there was to be a long period of pain and discomfort to recovery completely. Olaf was not only surrendered and suffering but he was also in a new place, knowing no one and ill at ease owing to the random changes that he had to encounter.
Six weeks old Mariah was abandoned just before Christmas in a parking lot. She was found by Second Chance Rescue on the Christmas Eve.
