rescue story - Huskymag

We all know that a dog is a man’s best friend, and there’s no doubt as to why; they’re loyal, loving, and… can perform miracles? Well, that’s certainly the case for one pup. Don’t believe us? Just wait and see.

At five-years-old, Jessie was rescued from the streets by a local shelter after being found wandering around a university campus with no collar or chip. And although being taken to a safe refuge, where she lived for eight months, Jessie’s safety was not guaranteed, as she found herself fighting threats of euthanasia.

During her time at the shelter, Jessie had become mysteriously ill, and with no luck at finding a loving owner to take her home, the shelter had no other option but to euthanize her, which was due any day – the shelter had lost hope, and so had she. That was, until a miracle struck.

After coming across the shelter’s final call for help to save Jessie, one family didn’t hesitate when it came to taking on this husky pup. Jessie was adopted by her family just days before it was too late, dodging her upsetting fate, meeting her forever family, and quickly becoming Juno.

Juno’s new name is a 10/10, as not only does it sound fabulous, it also allows the pup to show off her amazing abilities to anyone she meets. Juno means “goddess of women, protection and fertility” in Roman mythology, which her owners decided to name her after their struggles with pregnancy. Juno’s family say that she is very rare and special, and that she has made them stronger both as people and as a family – which proves that not only is Juno a miracle dog within her own life, but in the lives of those around her, too.’

So, whilst it’s clear that Juno loves a good miracle, it’s important to point out that she also loves to prove people wrong, especially in her new found talent as an agility dog.

Being both a rescue dog and a husky, Juno was rejected from multiple schools at the beginning of her agility journey. Alongside this, when people found out that a husky was due to compete in agility, many laughed, and would often underestimate her abilities. However, like she does, Juno soon proved everyone wrong, as at her very first agility competition, she placed third – You tell ‘em, Juno!

Since her win, Juno has continued living her best life and smashing her agility game after seventeen months. So, not only is she continuing to prove those husky haters wrong, but she also continues to share her miracle gift with those around her; Junos family have since opened their own doggo bakery and boutique, working with senior citizens to create bandanas, of which a portion of the proceeds they make go straight to Junos shelter, giving other pups the second chance that they deserve, just like Juno. And who knows, they could just grow up to be the next generation of miracle pups!

Could you imagine having to rely on a complete stranger to save your beloved poochs’ life? Well, let’s hope you don’t end up in a similar situation to this mutt mother, as one day this is exactly what she found herself having to do.

After a two and a half hour hike up a mountain and enjoying the beautiful lake with her pooch, one owner had a ginormous shock after discovering that her dog, Sansa, was suddenly in grave danger. Sansa had gone exploring as she does on any hike when she came across something that rather intrigued her, and, like any other dog would, this sudden sense of interest led her to do only one thing – play. She yapped and sniffed and chased and played; all was well – until fun turned into danger, as Sansa’s new friend turned out to be not so friendly.

What Sansa had encountered was not a friend at all, but what turned out to be a poisonous snake. Sansa was chasing the snake, unbeknownst to her that it would end up whipping around and biting her, and in turn, poisoning the poor pooch.

Sansa and her owner were in the middle of nowhere, there was no one to be seen, and Sansa had passed out.

Beyond panicking, Sansa’s owner carried her to the hut where they had earlier had lunch. There were people there, but none who could help. Sansa’s owner was lost, she had never been in a situation like this before – she didn’t know what to do or who to call. That was, until three strangers, a group of men training for a mountain marathon, came across the poor pair – who luckily for them, offered to carry Sansa down the mountain. As they did, her owner called her father and told him what had happened; he rushed to the vet and arrived at the bottom of the mountain with emergency medicine for Sansa.

By the time her owner had taken the two and a half hour journey back to the bottom of the mountain, Sansa was being treated by a nurse who was giving her the emergency medication, after the three strangers who came across the two had ran down the mountain with Sansa in their arms, taking just thirty minutes to arrive at the bottom and save the poisoned pooches life.

Many of us would panic at the idea of relying on a stranger to save the life of one of our furry friends, especially in a situation like Sansa’s. But this incredible story just goes to show that the power of people really can save a life.
