Dogs are known for their loyalty to people, but one stray dog has demonstrated how this tendency also extends to other dogs.
When Marley, a German shepherd, was severely hit by a car and left for dead, an unknown dog appeared and waited beside her until aid arrived.The stray dog, Murphy, refused to leave her side for hours, waiting for someone to stop their automobile and check on her new canine partner.
Suzette Hall of Dream Fetchers: Project Rescue rescued the dogs from a busy road in Muscoy, California, after receiving a phone call about them.
When they arrived at the vet, Marley was rushed into an operating room to undergo multiple surgery to treat her extensive list of injuries sustained in the accident.It was at this point that they realized she was pregnant.
“One of her legs needed to amputated and the other required surgery to repair,” she claimed. “She was made to feel loved and comfortable. “This girl immediately captured my heart.”
“Amazing ICARE. The Dog Rescue team and her beautiful foster mother, Chrissy Johnson, took over from there to help her; we were and continue to be eternally thankful.”Four surgeries later, ICARE never gave up on her.”
Between surgery and giving birth to 11 healthy puppies, Murphy remained by Marley’s side in their shared cage until she found a new home.Suzette added, “Murphy was there with her and stayed close to his best pal.
“ICARE ensured that all of her puppies had wonderful homes, and Marley now has one.
“She plays princess with her human sister and loves the property that she lives on with her new family.”Although Murphy left behind at Dream Fetchers: Project Rescue to have his own veterinary care, the couple is expected to reconnect soon.
