“I saw a puppy with paralyzed legs trying to crawl through the cold rain…”
That was the short description but touched the hearts of millions of people on social networks when the clip recorded the image of a small dog, with paralyzed hind legs, struggling to move on the wet road.
The Struggle in the Rainy Street – When Hope Remains in the Eyes of a Puppy
Amidst the indifferent passersby, the dog – with no name, no one beside him – quietly dragged its two front legs step by step, trying to crawl across the slippery road in the rain. No warm clothes, no shelter, only a determined gaze looking forward.
No one knows the dog’s origin, but it is clear that it has suffered extreme abandonment and trauma – both physically and mentally. However, even though it cannot stand up, it still tries to walk.
Timely Intervention and Rescue Journey
A passerby – who also filmed the video – couldn’t ignore it. They quickly approached and took the dog to a nearby animal shelter, where a veterinarian confirmed that the dog’s hind legs were paralyzed – possibly due to a spinal injury or an accident.
The dog was named Rain, in memory of the moment he was found – a symbol of sadness but also survival.
Fundraising Campaign & Rebirth of a Life
Currently, a fundraising campaign is being launched to buy a special wheelchair for Rain, as well as support the cost of long-term physical therapy.
Thousands of netizens have joined hands to donate and share the story as a call: “No life should be abandoned, especially when they are still trying to live.”
From Pain to Hope
Rain is now recovering well, being cared for in a rescue center and showing signs of emotional improvement, although the possibility of recovering his leg is still uncertain.
But thanks to love and kindness, Rain is no longer alone in this life.
💔 “If we cannot do something big, let’s start with a small action to save a life.”
