It’s heartbreaking to think about the grief dogs go through when their owners leave them. Innocent victims are stripped of their homes, their sense of belonging, and beloved caregivers. They face a devastating loss. The dog in this story is both brave and strong. Indah, a gentle and courageous mother dog, experienced great heartbreak when her owner abandoned her and her newborn puppies in a garbage dump near a local market. Worried for her starving babies, she scavenges for food amid refusal to support them.
Despite her desperate pleas, the marketers did not understand Indah’s cries for help, mistaking them for aggression. The nearby children, touched by her plight, tried to help her but were also met with uncertainty when Indah complained while standing in front of her babies. She was unsure of people’s intentions and protected her babies accordingly. Fortunately, rescuers arrived, finding a cautious Indah closely guarding her offspring. Recognizing her maternal instincts, they gained her trust and safely retrieved her pups, still blindfolded, from their hiding place.
Relief flooded Indah’s heart when she realized that she and her pets were no longer alone. Out of love and care, she and her babies were taken to the vet for a thorough examination. Indah is estimated to be between 1 and 1.5 years old. He was diagnosed with scabies and malnutrition, and his body was infested with ticks. Interestingly, despite his difficult condition, he did not require intensive medical care.
Because of Indah’s unwavering devotion to her puppies, rescuers and vets marvel at her resilience. The precious family received comprehensive care and abundant love at the rescue center. Indah finds solace in caring for her babies in a safe and nurturing environment. He is grateful for the love bestowed upon him. As her puppies grow and find loving homes, Indah also embraces her new life.
Now, he revels in the joy of being with his saviors, his once sad eyes now filled with happiness. May this strong and loving dog find the forever home he deserves.
