Every living creature is precious and deserves to thrive, even those with unique needs that require special attention. It’s imperative to understand that their limitations shouldn’t be the reason for their euthanasia. Fortunately, there are many compassionate people dedicated to ensuring that every animal gets a fair shot at life.
Take Monika, a dog who lost her paws due to mistreatment and was on the verge of being put down. But instead of giving up on her, rescue volunteers Marina Gapich and Alla Leonkina took her in and gave her a chance to recover. However, despite their efforts, specialists recommended euthanasia for Monika due to her severe injuries.
But Marina and Alla refused to give up on Monika, whom they considered under their care. They searched for other options. Finally, they found a solution – Monika was given prosthetic paws, which allowed her to walk again.
Monika’s story is a testament to the power of compassion and perseverance, showing that every life is valuable, and every animal deserves to be treated with care and respect.
Sergei Gorshkov, a veterinarian who specialized in prosthetics, was located. The rescue team managed to raise around 400,000 Russian rubles (equivalent to $5400) to help Monika acquire new legs. Despite never having created prosthetic paws for a dog before, the vet took on the challenge. The paws were made using titanium and biocoated technology from Tomsk Polytechnic University.
Once the paws were ready, Monika underwent surgery to have her new prosthesis implanted. At first, there was skepticism about whether the dog would be able to adapt to the new limbs.
Monika impressed everyone with her quick adjustment to her new paws. Sergei initially had doubts, but on the third day, she surprised everyone by walking around the facility and exploring different rooms.
The vet felt elated to have rescued an animal’s life. It’s astonishing how such miracles happen when people don’t lose hope in animals. The dog’s condition was so grave that it was almost euthanized, but the combined efforts of the rescue team and the vet made it possible to save its life. Kindly spread the word among your acquaintances!
