“Hello my friends, out on the street, i am safe here now at KAR
They took me in when others just looked on from afar
I must admit i was probably not a pretty sight
But i had nearly given up and had no fight
For a long time now it has been hard to stand and walk
Oh how i wished i had the voice to talk
I have looked and looked into many a human eye
Just wanting someone to help – to hear my cry
My legs should not be so gnarled and bent
To try to get up on them – my energy is spent
Lack of vitamins and decent food from a young age
Being kept in a small space maybe even a cage
Has left me scared, lonely, thin and very weak
Unable to bear my own weight without a shriek
At last a human with care and kindness saw me crawling
My legs had given up – gone to the side and sprawling
She gently ran her hands down my sticking out bones
Talking calmly and with kindness despite my groans
In a car on a soft warm blanket i lay still shaken
At last, at last, to a safe place i was taken
Love, care, medicines and good food i have been given
Now at last i can see that life is worth living.
To my KAR angels i thank you from the bottom of my heart
Now my recovery , long and slow, can start
Without my KAR family i certainly still would not be here
At last i am being cared for and i have no more fear.”
Our hearts went out to this poor dog – despite us being full we always try to help medical or particularly vulnerable cases and Hugo is certainly one of those. He has a long long road to recovery and will need ongoing treatment, physiotherapy, vitamins and building up – but he is young dog (about 2 years) and is such a loving friendly boy. He can only stand for very short periods of time as his legs simply are not able (yet) to bear any weight – but he could have long happy life ahead of him – if we can help him to live that life then that is all that matters. He deserves to be pain free and happy – that is our aim.
If you can help us to help Hugo please donate via our website – say it is for “Hugo”
