An injured puppy was curled up in a ball waiting for death to come. His callous owner beat him with a shovel then left him to die on his own in the middle of a popular dumping ground.
Animal activists visit the site as often as they can, to save as many lives as they can. When they saw the young dog, their hearts ached.
The poor pup could hardly lift his head. When the rescuer tried to move him, he yelped. The rescuer had no other choice but to check his vitals on the scene.
The dog, although in pain, realized the man was there to help him. He even tries to lift his head to say hello, but the pain was excruciating.

They decide to bring him to the vet clinic but they know his chance of survival was uncertain. As they carry the dog in and set him down to be examined, the vet staff can already tell he’s in rough shape.
After tests were performed, they realized that the dog had significant internal bleeding. His ear also bled from his head injury. The rescuer named the puppy Joon.

Joon continued to lie on the table, totally exhausted but he was no longer in pain thanks to the vet staff. Now he could sleep! He desperately needed rest in order to heal.
But even with a full day of rest, the puppy didn’t improve much. Joon needed a heating pad at all times since his body temperature was still very low.
He would eat a little bite of food here and there but still couldn’t lift his head up.

The staff was concerned. They weren’t sure if he would recover. But then Joon surprised them all. In the next few days, his symptoms began to improve a great deal.
His rescuer came to see him and as he’s holding Joon in his arms, the puppy looks up at his rescuer and says thank you for saving his life.
It’s a beautiful moment that reminds us all that animals like Joon need advocates who will fight for them.

While the staff was confident in Joon’s recovery, they weren’t sure what his future would look like. As with any head injury, Joon was still at risk of having brain damage.
They weren’t sure if he could walk normally or even play but something amazing happens.

The vet admits that if Joon was found even a few hours later, he would have never made it but now he has a full life ahead of him.
Thank you to all who had a hand in saving this precious puppy!

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
Wikimedia Commons
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.
