When I saw the dog on the side of the road, I couldn’t ignore it and stopped to take a closer look. Its eyes were barely visible beneath the swollen skin, and I knew I had to get him to a vet. I carefully loaded him into my car and rushed to the clinic. Once there, I watched as the vet examined the dog, probing the swollen areas. Suddenly, the vet froze, his expression darkening. “Miss, I need you to leave the room,” he said, and I watched his assistant begin preparing for surgery. After an hour of anxious waiting, the vet finally returned with news I never could have expected.

I got out of the car and approached the dog, relieved when it didn’t run away. That was a good sign. I gently reached out, and it seemed to trust me. Its tired brown eyes looked up at me, and without hesitation, I carefully lifted the Labrador. It was heavier than I expected, but I wasn’t about to leave it behind. I placed it in the backseat, hoping it would feel safe there.
