Dumped by the roadside, paralyzed and terrified, he tried to hide from people for 20 days without anyone offering help.

Fahrudin Caki Bravo, the founder of the Bosnian rescue organization Saving Stray Animals, spotted a pitiful little puppy while driving to the shelter. He immediately stopped to assess the puppy’s condition, knowing deep down that he had been abandoned. The sight of the helpless puppy up close shattered his heart.

As the rescuer approached, the puppy grew frightened and attempted to escape, but his injured back legs prevented him from doing so. Instead, he dragged himself and sought refuge behind a bush.

Determined to lend a hand, Caki followed the puppy, whom he later named Goldy. He tried to comfort him, assuring him that he meant no harm. Despite the initial fear, Caki managed to calm him down and gently carried him in his arms.

Caki decided to take Goldy to the veterinarian before bringing him home. Aware of the puppy’s pain, he didn’t want him to suffer any longer. He let Goldy sit on his lap during the journey, providing a sense of security.

At the vet clinic, it was revealed that Goldy’s injuries were at least two weeks old. The cause of his physical injuries remained unknown, but they were severe enough to leave him paralyzed. His nerves were damaged, and his genitalia were severely injured.

Caki hoped to give Goldy a chance at a normal and happy life. Although it was too late to save his legs due to the lack of immediate medical attention, Goldy was otherwise in excellent health, which served as a reason to persevere.

The compassionate rescuer did everything within his means to assist the puppy. He raised funds for Goldy’s medical expenses and even crafted a homemade wheelchair for him. Caki nurtured and cared for him until the perfect match was found.

A month after his rescue, Goldy found his forever home with Jasmina Gerstner, his adoptive mother. It was love at first sight, and Goldy was overjoyed to be welcomed into her home.

Goldy now has the opportunity for a second chance at life. Adopted by a loving woman, he will live the remainder of his days in happiness and contentment!
