In the tranquil suburbs of Thailand, an endearing story unfolded. Kiat, a gentle and kind man who appreciated the serenity of his neighborhood, was heading home from work when he noticed something unusual near the edge of a park—a small, desolate figure sitting alone. Intrigued, Kiat approached cautiously. It turned out to be a puppy, unlike any he had seen before. His eyes, which should have been filled with joy, were clouded with tears. The puppy’s cheeks were swollen, resembling a puffer fish. Concern filled Kiat’s heart as he knelt down beside the little dog. “What happened to you, little one?” he murmured softly, his heart aching at the sight.
The puppy whimpered, unable to explain his distress. Kiat observed a small mark on his paw, possibly a bite from a snake or bee. Acting quickly, Kiat gently picked up the puppy. It was evident that the pup was homeless and in distress, and Kiat couldn’t abandon him. Determined to help, he took the puppy to a local vet. The clinic was bustling, but Dr. Thanya, a compassionate veterinarian, promptly attended to him. After a thorough examination, she confirmed that the puppy had been bitten by a small snake, causing the swelling. She prescribed medication and reassured Kiat that with the right care, the puppy would recover.
Merida is a senior who was found abandoned in a backyard with her sibling who had passed away. She was left to fend for herself as an 11-year-old with diabetes. Thankfully, Kanoa Rescue Foundation stepped in to save her, but she still needs your help!
Grateful and determined, Kiat took the puppy home. He carefully administered the medication and fed the little dog, who soon fell asleep at his feet, feeling safe and cared for. Over the next few days, under Kiat’s attentive care, the puppy—now named Tyler—began to recover. The swelling on his face subsided, and his eyes sparkled with mischief once again.
Tyler’s playful demeanor quickly endeared him to everyone in the neighborhood, especially the children who couldn’t resist his charm. As Tyler regained his strength, he became Kiat’s faithful companion, joining him on morning walks and eagerly greeting him when he returned from work. Kiat realized that Tyler had found not just a home but a place where he truly belonged.
