Anyone who's been following this question knows what it's about but for those of you who don't. I rescued a stray puppy this past Thursday. He was huddled underneath a bridge in the middle of a snowstorm. I took him to the vet Friday and he was diagnosed with hookworms, whipworms, slight hypothermia and parvo. He is an 8 month old puppy (pit/dalmation mix) and we have named him Sonny. The vet gave me 2 options: 1)take him home and give him medicine OR 2) leave him at the hospital and they would treat him and he would stand a better chance. I left him there with them. I have been asking people to pray for his recovery and I am so thankful for all the prayers.This morning...well, actually about 30 minutes ago, I got a call from the hospital from one of the vets. He told me that Sonny had turned a corner. He was up in his cage and wagging his tail and moving around. The vet said he only threw up once last night but it wasn't anything fresh. He said that he is going to give his stomach until about noon and if he can hold all his food down I can go and get him and bring him back home with us to start his new life. YES!!!! I have been so worried about him and actually hearing the words "turned a corner"&"take him home" just makes me so happy. To be honest, I had actually driven by him a couple of times before stopping to get him. The first time I saw him at the top of a driveway for an apartment complex but I figured maybe he lives there because he turned and started walking back down towards them. The second time I passed him I saw him standing in a ditch in the middle of a web of limbs and whatnot. I drove for a few minutes and then told myself something was wrong and he was a stray or a dumpout. I turned around and drove back but I couldn't find him. I drove a good ways in both directions and looked out my windows but I couldn't find him. I was so mad because I knew I waited too long to turn around. Finally, I decided to turn onto this dirt road and park and get out. Turns out I parked on a bridge. Couldn't tell it was a bridge because everything was so overgrown around it. I got out and went down the bank on one side and called but got no response. I started to get in the car and saw that there was another side so I went down the bank on the right and just happened to glance to my left and found him under the bridge huddled up next to the concrete. I called and he came to me. Three times a charm I guess and now we get to keep him and give him a loving new life!!Thanks you guys!! After I pick him up tomorrow (hopefully) I will post the same question which will tell you how he is settling in. And then after I have had him here a couple of days I will post this question again to give another update.
