Pukli- pepper is small but strong

Pukli- pepper is small but strong
2011.07.21.

Pukli might be about two months old. He has lovely, shining, ’bug’ eye;, black, wavy hair and white ’socks’. Who knows what kind of mix of breeds he can be?

Unfortunately his little life didn’t start out lucky. The promblem started when his mother’s owner wasn’t careful and responsible enough to spay her. This is how it could happen that on an early spring, passionate night she got pregnant with Pukli and his siblings.
Time was passing by, Mommy was getting bigger and bigger. Her owner kept watching how much weight she put on… Then one moonlit night around the middle of May Puklis mother gave birth to some screaming, vigorous, black babies.
From this time the story is a blur for abour two months. Unfortunately we don’t have a clue how many puppies were born and that what happened to them – except Pukli and one of his little siblings.

The two of them were getting bigger and older and after a while they were so big that they caused too much trouble for their owner by their constant naughtiness and games. On a Friday they went too far. Pukli or his sibling peed in front of the door. It didn’t turn out which one of them did it because none of them took the credit for it. As it was unacceptable and it couldn’t go on like this any more.. The only decision was made that could happen in a situation like this… The two bad doggies had to go right away.

Poor owner, what else he could do, he put the two frightened puppies in a car. He knew that somewhere out of the city there’s a place where some crazy, animal lover people help out every troubled soul. But he also heard that the Animal Shelter is full and that they keep talking about some kind of responsibility, caretaking and prevention…
This might be very uncomfortable and risky as well because what if they look at him with blaming eyes. What if they ask why he hadn’t thought before the problem happened or why it is not him who tries to find a new home for the puppies… No, he obviously couldn’t take that kind of risk. He didn’t waste his time, he looked for that place on that very night (frankly, it wasn’t easy because there are no lights, no signs not even a proper road!), as proud of himself as he could be - because he did the best he could – he placed (we would rather say he threw) the two frightened babies int he inner side of the fence.
His disturbed conscience was calmed down by the great work he had done, so he got in his car, drove home and finally he could sleep.

And what happened to the puppies? They were staring him with confused eyes. ’Is this a new game? Because it’s for sure we don’t like it! Master, you suddenly got so far, our mother taught us that a good dog is faithful, never goes far from it’s owner. She taught that a good dog always stays beside the leg that keeps him/her safe and if they he/she behaves like this the prize will be a stroke, a few nice words and a dinner. And Pukli and his sibling always paid attention to mommy’s words, they noted every words and thoughts because they wanted to be very-very good doggies. But now and here on this dark, strange place without mommy, staring this tall wall that is impossible to climb over, what keeps them apart from their master… They don’t understand, they haven’t learnt anything about this. They show by quiet squeak that they are not able to solve the problem, they don’t like this new game, how they could be good doggies in this situation? They huddle, they look at each other and by the time they turn back the master disappears in the dark. They can’t see anything else except the two red lights but they are going away. They have often seen those lights home, in safe when the owner left by that box with gasoline odor – the one they were put in when they left home (Back then they were sooooo excited about the adventure they were up to with the master!)
A few seconds later they couldn’t see red lights or hear the box with gasoline odor. But they could hear something else, something terrifying, something what was said something about by mommy. The grumble of a strange dog, actually more than one and that is dangerous – they know, they learned.
Mommy kept saying they have to avoid strande dogs, this is why they have to stay home all the time because there can’t happen any trouble, they are safe there, the master takes care of them. But this is not home, not safety, the master is not there anymore. This is dark, threatening DEATH.

During the night wild watchdogs take care of the safety of more that 900 animals. Unfortunately the little sibling didn’t survive of the attack, his short life was over. Pukli was luckier, he was badly bitten. Some of his ribs were broken, his body was full of bruises, his spine was broken but he was still alive.

He was alive in the morning when we found him. And after that we tried not to run out of time. We rushed to the vet and there it started: making him shock free, hoping.

To be honest Pukli was carved of hardwood, an irresponsible owner or some wild watchdogs couldn’t stop him. He quickly put himself together, he stood up within two days. He started to come back to life physically and mentally as well. The X-Ray and the medical exams showed that his spinal operation was inevitable. It was done by a special method, his broken vertebra was fixed by an absorbable implant. On this way Pukli has every chance to a full, healthy and happy life.

Pukli can be supported by virtual adoption!

At the moment the most importend thing for Pukli would be a foster parent where he can recover in peace and safely. He doesn’t need any kind of special treatment at the moment, only a sedentary and calm home.
