Everyone Gave Up On This Slaughterhouse Puppy, Then One Woman Stepped In And Incredible Transformation Happened

ADVERTISEMENT

Everyone thought Mia the pup wouldn’t survive, until a young woman named Emily Bobo Parker gave her a second chance at life. The British woman works as an English teacher in China and runs an animal rescue organization in her spare time. When she heard about Mia being rescued from a slaughterhouse meat truck, she knew she had to help.

When the pooch arrived, she was found to suffer from CCV intestinal disease and had skin fungus all over her body. “It looked like black scabs all over her, and was extremely itchy. If she didn’t wear clothes and a cone she scratched herself raw,” Emily told Bored Panda. “Additional to these issues (which you’d think would be enough…) she also had intestinal worms. She managed to cough some up, alongside excreting them too.. Mia also was extremely malnourished, had anaemia, and calcium deficiency. This caused extreme bowing and weakness in her legs.” The poor thing also managed to swallow a plastic window sucker off a toy and had to undergo a surgery for it to be removed.

Now Mia’s dark days are long gone. Mia is “100% healthy” and is a one lucky doggie. “She is a champion, strong and adorable. Though we are extremely biased, we would also argue she is the cutest dog in the world..!,” says Emily. “We learnt that no matter what, we have to keep going. TLC and time can do wonders, you just have to give them chance.”

Also, thank god for people like miss parker. Sadly, there are many who would have said, "putting it down would be the humane thing to do." Even some pet owners would balk at the extensive medical care this little pup required. But this woman never gave up on her.

I never cease to be horrified by how the Chinese treat animals. One can only hope for karma to even the score somewhere down the road.

Karma will do nothing to stop the suffering of all tortured animals. What is needed is international laws to stop this massacre. Also if all goods coming out of these countries were banned by the consumers, maybe we could hit them where it hurts most, their bank accounts!

What a precious pooch! This is such a heart-wrenching story. I can't imagine what horrors these poor sweet animals are witness to. Anytime i read about animals rescued from terrible situations i go spoil my own animals, grateful they're safe and sound but wishing I could help all the animals.

While I agree that the methods are purely terrible, we cannot shun a nation for their culture. Eating dogs and cats in their culture has been prevalent for thousands of years. We all hate those people who try to force their "veganism" on others so let's try to be better and not ask "what's wrong with China or Asia?" Instead ask "what's wrong with the people who support this market". If the are going to do it there needs to be a more humane way of doing it.
