Her fur was matted, and she had a painful limp. Despite her suffering, there was a fierce determination in her eyes. Luna had endured many hardships, but her most pressing concern was the tiny, whimpering bundles of fur nestled close to her side.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a compassionate passerby noticed Luna’s condition. They quickly called Animal Control, who arrived with a local vet, Dr. Emily Carter.
Luna, though frightened and in pain, showed remarkable trust. As Dr. Carter began her examination, it became clear that Luna had a serious injury—her kidney was damaged.
With gentle hands, Dr. Carter moved Luna aside, revealing a secret she had been guarding. Nestled in the shadows were tiny, newborn puppies, their eyes still closed and their tiny bodies trembling.
