I received an urgent call about Lucy and Ben. Lucy had been hit by a car while walking and was lying in the middle of the road, unable to move and convulsing. Ben, her companion, sat by her side for hours, looking sad and trying to get help from passing drivers. Despite many cars driving by, no one stopped to help, and Lucy lay there, cold in the traffic.
Ben stayed close to Lucy, licking her in an attempt to comfort her. We quickly approached and covered Lucy with a shirt to protect her. Ben remained by her side, never leaving her. We gave him a small treat to help him regain some strength, knowing that his health was crucial for him to continue supporting Lucy.
We decided to take both of them to the animal hospital for a comprehensive check-up. Lucy was examined, and it was clear she was too weak and in too much pain to move much. The vet decided to give her medication to help her regain some strength for her recovery.
Lucy had fractured ribs and a serious head injury. She was severely dehydrated and also had internal bleeding. She was diagnosed with a parasitic infection, further complicating her condition. Throughout the treatment, Ben never left her side, watching her with eyes full of concern. Sometimes, he even seemed to bow his head as if seeking help from the doctors.
The vet reported that Lucy’s condition was very serious and dangerous, but Ben remained calm and obedient, sitting quietly in the corner, his gaze never leaving Lucy. It was clear that their bond was incredibly special.
After three days of treatment, Lucy was able to stand and even eat on her own. Seeing her eat was a huge relief for us, and she looked more alert and healthier. Lucy’s recovery continued steadily, and we were all pleased with the progress.
Two months later, Lucy was discharged from the hospital and returned home. The vet praised her immense effort during her recovery. However, she still needed to consume enough nutrients and limit her movement. At home, Lucy rested in her favorite bed next to Ben, who continued to support and encourage her.
No matter what, Ben never left Lucy’s side. He gazed at her with loving eyes, offering comfort and affection. Lucy is now much more alert and healthier, and after five months, her bones have fully healed. Her health has stabilized, and she can walk normally again.
Lucy plays and runs with Ben and her new friends every day. We make sure she has nutritious food, and she continues to visit the vet regularly for check-ups. Lucy is full of energy and happiness, and seeing her and Ben play together brings us so much joy.
