This is the heartwarming moment when a veterinarian was captured on camera calming a dog that was in severe need of assistance. The dog luckily avoided a fire, but he sustained terrible burns as a result. Thankfully, a kind stranger transported him to a veterinarian facility just in time, where the professionals saved his life. This happened not long after the operation!
Taka, a beautiful 8-year-old Shiba Inu, was nearly killed when he became caught in a fire. When a neighbor took him to the Care More Animal Hospital in Martinez, Georgia, he suffered terrible burns. Emily Martin, a vet at the clinic, knew they had to move quickly to save the unfortunate dog’s life as soon as they arrived, and they did. Taka, on the other hand, had to stay at the clinic for a few more days until he was fully recovered.
Emily began to develop a strong attachment to the dog whose life she had just rescued, and the two had formed a particular relationship in a short amount of time!
“I try to treat my patients all the same, but his case pulled at my heartstrings a bit more,” the vet told THE DODO. “When he came in, he was screaming from pain…he had burns around his eyes, his mouth, his ears, his belly. But he calmed down the moment you sat with him and started singing to him.”
Since Taka needed a lot of time to recover, his family agreed to his stay at the clinic. But since the place isn’t open during the night, Emily knew it would be so hard for him to stay there all alone, so the devoted vet decided to take Taka to her home overnight.
Emily had to look after Taka all night, so the next day when she got back to work, she was very tired. So during a break, she just went into Taka’s kennel and lay down next to him, and fell asleep. It’s when one of her coworkers managed to take a very emotional photo of the two.
“I stayed up with him all night at my place, so we were both fatigued the next day,” Emily explained. “He’s in a lot of pain, so he’s not out of the woods yet,” says the doctor. “But we’re hoping that he’ll be OK.”
Emily has become so devoted to Taka that she is considering adopting him if the situation ever arises. Meanwhile, Emily, who is also a mother, already has five rescue dogs in her house.
