A dog in pain is probably one of the hardest sights to witness for all canine lovers
Just seeing their sad faces and eyes that seem to scream Help me hooman makes every heart shatter into a million pieces
One such case recently broke mine when I stumbled upon Niks story
Severely injured he dragged his hind legs through the mud trying to move Instead all he could do was take a few painful steps and wait pausing to drink from a puddle as he had no other choice
He Was Completely Helpless

A random passerby spotted Nik in a devastating condition He was all alone standing in the mud with his back legs entirely paralyzed
Nik had no food or water anywhere around All he had was a puddle right in the middle of the mud which he used for drinking

The kind person immediately called local rescuers who rushed to the scene
The team of volunteers had no trouble scooping him up as Nik had no response He was completely calm putting all his faith into humanity After all he had no other choice as his tiny legs had let him down
However the good thing was that Niks spirit was not broken His resilient nature helped him believe that everything would work out
The Road To Recovery

Nik spent the night in his rescuers home eating warm food for the first time in forever He was far from being okay yet getting a nice meal truly helped him come out of his shell
He knew right away that the woman who welcomed him was worth trusting and Nik completely gave in

During his vet exam he was diagnosed with permanent spinal damage He also had bladder issues and needed to wear diapers due to urinary incontinence Fortunately Nik responded to touch successfully which was a good sign after all
In addition to incontinence he suffered from a decubitus ulcer caused by excessive pressure on his paws
For weeks Nik received antibiotics and underwent physiotherapy With many ups and downs he managed to stand on his legs for short periods of time Sadly his hind legs never fully responded

The woman alongside the vet team dedicated all her time and patience to Niks treatment They spent months showering this sweet boi with TLC which ultimately resulted in the most wonderful news
Only six months into his treatment a family reached out to Nik wanting to adopt him
