He meets Niq, a little warrior pup who refuses to let the world get him down.
When Niq was attacked by a pack of animals recently, the scared and injured Chihuahua ran to a nearby car for cover. Hidden behind a rear tire, Niq refused to let anyone near him.
Neighbors who had witnessed the event immediately called Logan Legacy Dog Rescue for help. Suzette Hall, the founder of Logan’s Legacy, got to the Southern California neighborhood as fast as she could. Unfortunately, the accounts of the neighbors were accurate.
“He had a pretty serious injury,” Hall told The Dodo. “He had to undergo emergency surgery .”
Hall took Niq to Camino Pet Hospital , where he was immediately attended to by a loving veterinary team. The little pup underwent emergency surgery and the team successfully stitched up his wound. But when Niq woke up from the procedure, something still wasn’t right.
“After he came out of surgery, he started acting super, super sick,” Hall said. “Then he tested positive for parvo.”
In addition to healing from a traumatic injury, Niq was suddenly faced with the fight against the highly contagious virus.
The road to recovery was long, but Niq refused to give up without a fight. Fortunately, he had a team of friends who helped him get better.
A friend, a veterinary technician, developed a very special bond with Niq. Every time her shifts ended, the vet tech refused to go home without visiting her new best friend of his.
“She would go and sit with him every day after work,” Hall said. “She fell in love with him.”
After a few constant visits, the vet tech made a proposition to Hall. He offered to take Niq home with her for a weekend to help him heal in a more comfortable environment.
Hall agreed, and was pleasantly surprised when he received an unexpected message the following Monday.
“She had offered to drive him home for the weekend, but was unable to bring him back,” Hall said. “She said, ‘I have to have it. Can I adopt him please?’”
Not long after, Niq was officially part of the vet tech family.
Today, Niq is thriving in his new home. Having completely overcome her illness and injuries from him, Niq now lives the best and happiest life of his life.
