Dog Taka almost perished in a fire. The eight-year-old’s house caught fire last week as he was outside on the porch. Despite their best efforts, his family was unable to arrive in time and was forced to flee the residence.
A miracle happened.
Taka left the porch on his own and hurried down the street. The puppy was eventually located by a helpful neighbor, who took it immediately to the Care More Animal Hospital in Martinez, Georgia.
He had burns around his eyes, mouth, ears, and stomach, according to veterinarian Emily Martin of Care More Animal Hospital. The extent of his wounds was first unknown to us because we were initially concerned about inhalation burns.
Taka’s eyes have also suffered serious damage. Sadly, he eventually developed vision loss.
The veterinary team identified Taka’s breathing problems and referred him to the University of Georgia hospital. There could be an oxygen supply for him there. Taka was able to go back to Care More Animal Hospital after a few days, and they are now doing everything they can to assist.
Martin was moved.
Martin stated, “I try to treat my patients in the same manner, but his case has torn the heart out a little more. When he arrived, he was screaming in anguish.
When Taka’s condition eventually needed it, Martin got in touch with Taka’s family shortly after arriving at the veterinary clinic and Taka was given into Martin’s care. Since then, instead of only being Taka’s veterinarian, Martin has decided to raise him as her own child.
Martin took Taka home at night due to the hospital’s limited 24-hour hours of operation. As a result, he avoided having to spend the night alone. The next evening, Martin climbed into Taka’s kennel at the zoo, where they both slept.
One of Martin’s employees caught the fluff moment:
Taka’s compassionate nature, in spite of everything he is going through, is one of Martin’s favorite things about him. When they are hurt, animals often bite. Never once did he try to bite.
Martin and the other vets are upbeat about Taka’s chances even though it’s too soon to know how his burns will effect him in the long run, especially given that he’s eating and using the potty on his own.
Martin stated, “He’s definitely in a lot of pain, but we’re hoping he’ll be fine.”
Taka’s character is beginning to emerge.
Martin remarked, “He loves food and likes belly rubs, so he’s a pig.” He also appreciates hugs.
Martin has fallen in love with Taka and has considered adopting him permanently. However, the woman also has a seven-month-old child and five other pets. She understands that Taka would require much special care, thus her home might not be the best setting for him.
Martin is dedicated to finding him the greatest home and a person who will value the unique dog that he is. Martin remarked, “He went through something so traumatic and painful, yet he doesn’t give up.” He is really resilient.
