For over a year, this sweet dog had been patiently waiting for a family to finally open their home to her. When her new owner adopted her, she thought she was turning a new leaf after a long stay in a rescue centre, ready to offer her a gentle and secure life. There was no way of knowing that her new companion was hiding a terrible old wound.
A few weeks later, everything changed during a routine visit to the vet. The young woman, known on TikTok as @some_palindrome, had no idea that this standard check-up would lead to a chilling discovery. On the X-ray, the vet spotted a bullet lodged in the dog's body – a remnant of a shooting that no one knew had ever happened.
A resilient dog
Despite the horror of her past, the dog shows no signs of pain or discomfort. In the pictures shared by her owner, she looks peaceful, sitting in the car with her tongue out, gazing out of the window. She seems completely oblivious to the discovery that has just been made. For her owner, the shock was immense; it's hard not to imagine the circumstances that could have led to such an act.
A happy new beginning
Fortunately, the dog is now perfectly safe, cherished, and loved. She even accompanies her owner to work where, according to her, "the patients cry when she's not there, she brings so much comfort."
A wonderful new chapter for this big-hearted pooch.
