Miracles may seem scarce in this modern era, but there seems to be no better term to describe the harrowing story of a discarded dog, found on Christmas Day, on the brink of death in a dumpster. As reported by WSBTV, a passerby heard the desperate cries of a young canine and alerted the authorities. When the officers arrived, they discovered a near-frozen, malnourished dog callously abandoned in a garbage bag, treated as mere waste.
The dog was swiftly transported to an animal hospital in Atlanta. However, her condition was so dire that it was uncertain whether she would survive. “She was nearly entirely frozen, and the vet considered euthanization thrice,” stated Penny Jenkins, the manager of Atlanta West Veterinary Hospital, where the young dog was receiving emergency treatment. “But she persisted, and so we too persevered,” added Jenkins. Her colleagues named the dog Miracle in light of her strong will to survive.
The police are diligently searching for the heartless individual who left Miracle to perish on Christmas Day. Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to Sergeant Finley of the Villa Rica Police Department at 678-840-1314 or bfinley@villarica.org. All information shared will remain confidential.
While the authorities continue their hunt for the culprit, the future is beginning to look promising for Miracle. The previously abandoned puppy is not only steadily regaining her strength but has also found a new home with the very officer who played a crucial role in her rescue.
“Miracle was welcomed into her new forever home yesterday with the officer who discovered her!” the veterinary staff excitedly shared on Facebook. “She is faring well, and we have a follow-up scheduled for tomorrow to ensure everything in her little body is functioning as it should. We are grateful for all the prayers, donations, and messages. She is indeed the embodiment of a Christmas miracle for all of us!”
