Homeless animals have enough to contend with. Finding adequate shelter, food, and clean water is challenging enough. Doing so is dangerous for healthy strays but imagine what it would be like for a dog that is paralyzed! It would be impossible. Yet a dog, later named Kuya Bon, fought to stay alive despite his disability. He was left all by himself when his owner deemed him useless after a car had hit him.
Kuya Bon’s callous owner couldn’t be bothered with a dog that needed so much care. He kicked him out of the only home he had ever known. By the time he was spotted by a kind individual, he had been on the streets for a very long time. He had to deal with so many rainy days, especially during the monsoon season. It’s a miracle he survived this long.
A kind woman saw the dog from afar and got a bowl of food for Kuya Bon. She went over to him and put the bowl down. She wanted to see how bad his legs were. Despite his struggles, Kuya Bon slithered to the bowl of food and ate happily. The woman knew he needed urgent veterinary care. She would spend her own money to help him.
While waiting for Kuya Bon to have x-rays done, the woman called a local rescuer. She begged for his help knowing she couldn’t keep Kuya Bon and he did not belong back out on the streets. The rescuer agreed. Kuya Bon is recovering as we speak at the vet clinic. It’s uncertain where he will end up but what IS FOR SURE is that he will never be back out on the streets again! To see Kuya Bon’s rescue, please scroll down. We are so thankful that he is now safe.

A dog’s unwavering devotion and unselfish love might be one of humanity’s most purifying forces.
This makes perfect sense when we consider the power of mixing dogs and prisoners. Since 1939, “Leader Dogs for the Blind” has utilized canines to assist in jail rehabilitation, according to this inspiring concept. And it certainly appears to be a win-win situation!
Inmate volunteers are helping to expand the program, which is funded by numerous generous contributions. Prisoners learn how to become service dogs while also producing hundreds of puppies each year.
This not only offers the inmates a sense of purpose, but it also lowers their chances of recidivism upon release. What stands out most, though, is the strong emotional bond that has developed between them and the pups!
This program, which is sponsored by a variety of generous contributors, allows inmates to breed hundreds of puppies every year while also teaching them how to become service dogs. This not only gives the criminals a sense of purpose, but also reduces their risk of recidivism when they return home. The strong emotional bond that has developed between the prisoners and the pups stands out most!
This remarkable initiative tries to restore offenders into society as assets, rather than perceiving them as a despised liability. The inmates are never alone while learning how to train dogs for the real world since they will never feel alienated from society.
This is rehabilitation in its most fundamental form, and it has helped millions of people across the world — both inside and outside jail facilities!
