A caring neighbour from the city of Elche, Alicante, Spain, rescued a mastiff puppy on the verge of collapse and his story has an entire country in suspense. The anonymous hero found the creature at the facilities of the Urbaser cleaning company and, upon noticing its terrible state, decided to help it.
Her body of just 18 kilograms suffers not only from malnutrition, but also from a painful abscess in her ear and face, areas in which worms are believed to have been harbored due to the infection.
Fortunately, the man who rescued him decided to take him to Hondon de las Nieves and later contacted Huellas Salvadas Animal Protection Association of Elche. There they took charge of the dog and transferred him to another veterinary center for further studies.
Specialists are doing everything they can to save his life, but the truth is that much of the work falls to this warrior, whose name was conceived in honour of the legendary Nordic king, Ragnar Lodbrok.
The association has appealed to the solidarity of the public in this case, as in just 24 hours they have already accumulated a medical bill that exceeds 1,000 euros.
Ragnar is out of critical condition but remains in the veterinary centre under 24-hour supervision, which means more expenses. In addition, he has had a CT scan today but people’s hearts have not been limited and donations have started to arrive.
As reported today, “Ragnar has been calmer and did not need to be put to sleep for his scan.” It seems that this little boy has been able to recognise that those around him are only trying to help him and that his life of terror is over.
For the moment, the doctors must perform a biopsy, because in addition to the infection, the dog has a mass of cells in his head and they must rule out any tumor. Based on the results, the doctors will establish what path to follow and while this happens, the call is to collaborate as much as possible with Ragnar.
Please, share his story and help us spread his case, he wants to cling to life but needs all of us. Share and inform, every little bit counts!
