When a woman responded to a call about a puppy on the verge of hypothermia, she really had no idea what she would find on the scene.

Apparently, a guy with a rock for a heart had thrown the poor little furball into a cardboard box covered in snow to the point of freezing.

The extremely hypothermic little puppy was fighting for his life in freezing temperatures.

The events took place in Arkhonskaya, Russia, a town known for its extreme temperatures.

Tamara was heartbroken to see how anyone could do such a thing to such a small and vulnerable creature. Clearly, if she had not responded to the call for help, it was only a matter of hours before the little one would have to leave this cruel world.

Without a second’s hesitation, she took the little baby in her arms and carefully carried it to a veterinary clinic.

His body temperature was so low that the vet was not even able to detect it, he was breathing very weakly, and he was barely moving.

Because he was extremely dehydrated, his body looked so fragile, and he had no blood pressure, unfortunately they could not do any more tests to evaluate his real condition.

Tamara is a volunteer with the Dublin Shelter rescue group. These heroes took charge of the little boy, and from then on they would do anything to make sure that the little dog defied fate and managed to save his life.

They named him Joseph, the poor little guy really needed a miracle to stay alive.

At the clinic, they proceeded to place him inside a heating pad so that he could regain his ideal body temperature.

Although that seemed to be a good option, sadly everything started to get complicated by the simple fact that his breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

It was urgent that a blood transfusion be given to little José. He would have to spend several days in the hospital while the veterinarians waited for a miracle to happen, but faith and hope is the last thing to be lost and they would never stop fighting.

After a few days of that, incredibly he began to improve.

“We were able to hear his voice and he was finally able to have some tests done,” said his rescuers.

They discovered that his main problem was not only that he arrived in a state of hypothermia but also that he was infested with parasites inside, which were basically eating him. That was causing a lot of diarrhea, vomiting, fever and general weakness.

So they proceeded to deworm him right away, and Jose, despite his small size and delicate condition, seemed to not want to give up at all, clinging to life from the very first second he arrived at the clinic.

The next day, the puppy began to show his first signs of life, which were encouraging and hopeful for everyone.

Although he was still in pain, and needed intravenous medication, something that could be very upsetting for him, all the veterinarians tried to do their best so that José would trust and suffer as little as possible.

Thanks to the selflessness of their heroes, who spared no effort to ensure his recovery, and above all thanks to the deep love with which they treated him, they soon reported on their networks that José was recovering wonderfully.

It is only a matter of time before the little puppy, who one day a heartless person wanted the worst fate for him, achieves a complete transformation and finally gets the love full of love that he always deserved.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the woman who responded quickly to the call for help, saving the life of this vulnerable puppy whose fate was sealed. But even the most seemingly unfortunate creature can defy its own fate, thanks to love.
