I am thinking of my beloved dog, gosh I miss him even more after reading this.
A California SPCA has plenty of good karma coming their way after giving one family a welcome surprise. According to KFSN-TV, a Fresno, Calif. SPCA treated and returned a dog surrendered for euthanization after being moved by the family's goodbyes to the pet.
A tragic accident left Kayla, the Martinez's family Weimaraner, with a giant hole in her chest. The family was doing construction in their backyard when the canine slipped on wet cement and fell on a spike.
Unable to afford the emergency care necessary to save Kayla's life, the Martinez family worked around the clock to try treating the dog at home. Sadly, their efforts did little to help Kayla's condition. Seeing that the dog was suffering, the family made a difficult decision and surrendered their beloved pet to the SPCA to be put down.
The father, Frank Martinez, was the family member who agreed to drive Kayla to the shelter once everyone had said their goodbyes. He told KFSN-TV that when he and Kayla arrived at the SPCA, he looked her in the eyes, apologized for being too poor to care for her and begged his pet to forgive him for his shortcomings.
This heartbreaking goodbye took place two weeks ago. Since then, the Martinez family slowly accepted that they had lost Kayla. Then they received an unexpected phone call. Shockingly, a doctor at the SPCA was calling to say that Kayla was very much alive.
The shelter was so moved by Frank Martinez's tear-filled goodbye, they decided to provide Kayla with the care she needed free. A healthy and happy Kayla was reunited with her family this weekend, and for the first time in weeks, smiles replaced sniffles.
