Lady Pulled Over To Bury Stray, Neared Sun Scorched Body & Her Nose Twitched

A woman was driving down a busy road when she saw, out of the corner of her eye, a ‘dead dog’ lying in the grass.

The woman stopped the car and ran over. She expected a lifeless dog but when she got closer, the dog lifted her head up.

The poor girl was in horrific shape. She had severe mange that had caused her fur to fall out. Her skin was sun-scorched from being outside without protection.

The dog was also so underweight from malnourishment. It was obvious she was never fed properly. There was no time to waste. She needed to be seen by a medical professional ASAP!

The kind woman loaded the dog into a crate. Her frail body nearly collapsed once she was safely inside. Now it was time to get her to the vet!

The sweet girl was such a trooper. She seemed to understand that the woman only intended to help her. The woman named her Spirit because her spirit was so strong!

Once at the vet, Spirit tested positive for rickets. Her calcium was so low that it was near-fatal. The disease caused her legs to curl up from spontaneous fractures.

Her muscles were wasting away. Spirit’s condition was heartbreaking, especially when they realized someone had cut half of her ear off. What kind of monster would do that?!

The vet administered pain meds which helped a great deal and Spirit was finally able to eat a meal! She gobbles it up like a real champ. Who knows when she had a decent meal!

It could have been ages. The vet notices while she eats that her front leg, so deformed from rickets, would never heal properly. The only option was amputation.

Dogs are so resilient and Spirit was no exception. Her amputation surgery went great! The brave dog learned to adjust to life on three legs and it didn’t bother her one bit.

She was relieved to be in less pain, finally.

Something truly incredible happens next. We don’t want to spoil it for you, but let’s just say the former skeletal dog on the roadside that her rescuer thought was dead does a complete turnaround.

She was unwanted and mistreated. A monster cut her ear off and dumped her so she’d die alone yet she STILL got her happily ever after… and it’s the best payback possible.

10 of the Smartest Dogs in the World:

 

A friend of mine has a beautiful Dalmatian. Friendly, energetic and lovable, she was a perfect family pet… but she wasn’t the smartest pooch on the planet. See, she knew how to go through the pet door out into the garden, but she had no clue how to get back inside. It never occurred to her that the flap could swing both ways. So she would sit outside and howl until my friend would open the door.

Repeated demonstrations of the dual movement of the flap had no effect; it just did not compute. The dog breeds on this list, however, probably don’t have that problem. They’re widely considered to be among the cleverest canines in the world. Take a look and see if you agree.

1. German Shepherd

No surprise here. German Shepherds are the world’s best police dogs, military dogs, and some have even been movie stars (remember Rin Tin Tin?). Brave, loyal, smart and strong, they’re the total package.

2. Beagle

Also on the list of the best family-friendly dogs in the world, the Beagle has an incredible nose that lets them sniff out just about anything. Born detectives, they’re not the most trainable pets, but they are smart. And hey, nobody ever accused Snoopy of being dumb.

3. Golden Retriever

A popular choice for assistance dogs for their easy temperament, natural intelligence and loyalty, Golden Retrievers are natural guides and also serve as great rescue dogs. Active and fun to be around, they’re wonderful family pets.

4. Border Collie

Border Collies are considered by many to be the geniuses of the dog world. Expert herders, laser-focused (they’re known for their intense stare), and incredibly agile to boot, they’re workaholics and excellent athletes. Just don’t expect to keep one cooped up in an apartment.

5. Poodle

Did you know poodles were originally hunting dogs? They respond very well to training and are quick to learn tricks. So don’t let the fluffy looks and styled mane fool you! These dogs are among the smart canines around. Plus, they’re among the best dogs in the world for those who suffer allergies.

6. Belgian Malinois

A terrific military dog, the Malinois is a natural herder, tracker and worker. Smart, trainable and protective, these dogs require an owner who knows what he or she is doing. In addition to the military, Malinois are often recruited as guard dogs and police dogs as well.

7. Papillon

Named for their butterfly-shaped ears, papillons are small, cute and pretty smart. They’re considered the smartest of the toy dog breed, with intelligence levels comparable to the über-smart border collie. They’re alert and focused pets, and loyal and lovable: an ideal friend for he family.

8. Doberman

Sadly, Dobermans are known more for their ferocity than their smarts, but these are considered among the most intelligent dogs in the world, as well as one of the most effective guard dogs around. They’re outstanding students known to be affectionate and obedient.

9. Bloodhound

Don’t let the wrinkles and dopey expression fool you! Bloodhounds have the keenest of noses, and are often used for trailing (so much so that their evidence can be used in court against you!). These are loving but strong-willed dogs, and are often used on search and rescue missions.

10. Australian Cattle Dog

You need a smart, determined and energetic dog to control unruly cows. And that’s just what the Australian Cattle Dog, or ACD, does. They’re intelligent enough to herd these much larger creatures, and while they need their independence and wide open spaces, they’re eager workers who know how to get the job done.
