In a recent video from pet rescue channel Hope For Paws, viewers are introduced to Penny, a Doberman whose condition changed dramatically after rescuers reached her. Hope For Paws said she was discovered collapsed in a pile of leaves and then began a lengthy recovery.
What happened?
After Penny was taken to safety, Hope For Paws shared heartwarming footage of both the initial rescue and the medical care that came afterward. The organization said rescuers had first found her after receiving a call from a local resident.
The video shows the rescuers' point of view as they discover Penny and gently put a leash around her. From the start, the rescuer could tell the animal was a gentle soul.
After taking Penny to their facility, the rescuers gave Penny a bath before handing her off to the medical team to ensure she was healthy.
The examination showed some strange bone growth in Penny's leg, requiring further medical procedures to diagnose.
To cover the expensive costs of Penny's medical journey, Hope For Paws launched an online fundraising campaign that has since garnered over $4,800.
