In the bustling city of Lima, Peru, a heartbreaking tale of abandonment unfolded at a subway station four years ago. A dog, later named "Cabezón," was discovered tied to a wheeled machine, his body immobilized and his head bowed down due to tight straps. Sara Moran, the compassionate force behind Milagros Perrunos, a sanctuary for disabled dogs in Peru, took charge of Cabezón's rescue.
The circumstances surrounding Cabezón's abandonment remain unclear, but Sara suspects that his owner left him tied up after he suffered hind leg injuries. Nearby, another dog named Bobblehead had a more fortunate encounter – found and fed by children who also aided in his escape from an entanglement. Cabezoncito, however, faced a different fate, having been involved in an accident that left him unable to walk.
Despite the bustling human crowds at the subway station, Cabezón went unnoticed in his distress. Sara revealed that when he was discovered, he was already in a critical state. A group of compassionate young men decided to intervene, bringing not only Cabezón but also Bobblehead to Sara's sanctuary. Sara, known for her dedication to caring for injured and paralyzed stray dogs, provided them with specially designed cots for rehabilitation.
Upon closer inspection, it became evident that Cabezón's condition was dire. Rushed to a doctor, he was diagnosed with severe spinal injuries, kidney failure, and numerous cuts and sores. The extent of his suffering included immobilization from being tethered to a table, where he was forced to urinate and defecate, resulting in severe genital damage.
Unfortunately, the prognosis was grim for Cabezón. The vet revealed the severity of his injuries, leaving him paralyzed and facing kidney failure. Sara, aware of the harsh reality for stray animals in Peru, recognized that many owners would choose euthanasia for a dog like Cabezón, injured and abandoned.
