Despite her condition, Lady used all her might to wag her tail. She managed to move the tip slightly. At this point, her rescuers realized she had the will to live. The kind humans were unsure if she had a spinal injury because she could only drag her legs around. They went to work immediately to bathe her and treat her for parasites.

Once at the vet, Lady was diagnosed with a broken hip. The poor girl must have been suffering! With proper treatment, Lady was finally well enough to walk, but she would never be 100%. The old dog smiled as she took her first steps that didn’t cause significant pain.
