Cola, a 9-month-old dog living with his mom and doggie siblings in Bangkok, had playfully escaped into the neighbor’s yard and chewed off the man’s shoes.
When the man came complaining, Cola’s mom paid him for the damages. But the spiteful man still wanted revenge.

One day, the man sneaked into the yard while Cola was alone, and used a sword to hack off the dog’s front legs.
When the owner intervened, the man threatened to kill her other dogs if she spoke about this to the authorities.
The woman rushed Cola to the hospital, and contacted “The Soi Dog Foundation” for further help.
Cola’s initial stay at the hospital was pretty terrifying as no one could tell if the dog would make it due to septicaemia complications.
But the dog pulled through the pain and began recovering. Meanwhile, the foundation’s legal unit helped Cola’s mom fight for justice for the poor dog.

After months of uncertainty, the neighbor was finally booked under the country’s animal welfare law. However, he got off easy with just one month worth of imprisonment.
Cola’s mom and the volunteers realized that the dog might not be safe in his old home. So, Gill Dalley, one of Soi Dog’s founding members, came forward to adopt him.

Cola’s new mom is also a double amputee like him, so Cola felt right at home with her. In this video, we see the precious moment when Cola gets his custom-made prosthetic legs fixed. He’s so happy to walk again that he runs around hugging every staff in the room!

Cola’s prosthetic legs are made out of the same fibre used for Paralympic sprinters. We thank Soi Dog staff for helping Cola live like a normal dog again. He’s definitely got the spirit of a true champion!
