When a 4-month-old puppy was left at the Cuyahoga Country Animal Shelter in Ohio, USA, in April 2016, he was so ill that he couldn’t even open his mouth to eat. Nevertheless, he remained in high spirits; his tail continuously wagged, and he was ready to give everyone kisses.
Veterinarians examined him and surmised that he’d contracted a severe infection from a dog bite. The infection had caused a deformation of his face, and so they administered antibiotics in the hope of restoring his health.
Sadly, nothing worked. The dog – named Squish – became weaker and weaker through the fact that he couldn’t eat properly. It got so bad that a date was set for him to be euthanized. The vets thought it was kinder if he didn’t suffer.
Squish’s future was far from bright. At the same time, those caring for him didn’t want to give up on a puppy that harbored so much love and affection.
