A man named Graham was on his usual hiking route when he encountered Willow hidden behind some trees. He realized he had to help the animal, so he cut his hike short and rescued the helpless dog.
Graham was hesitant to approach Willow at first since the dog barked at him loudly. The animal was malnourished and filthy, indicating that she had been living in the wilderness for some time.
The man did not see any food or water around Willow, so he took out his water bottle. At the sight of water, Willow brightened up and went carefully toward her rescuer.
Graham appeared to have gained Willow’s trust after he gave her water. He then petted Willow’s head for a few moments to reassure the dog that she was in good hands before urging her to accompany him to his car.
The man also gave Willow some chicken when they were already in the car, while he uploaded the video he had taken of Willow. Unfortunately, no one offered to adopt Willow, so Graham brought her to the veterinarian.
Graham learned that in addition to being malnourished, Willow had broken both of her rear legs in an accident, which led them to mend abnormally. The man focused on rehabilitating Willow and ensuring her muscles developed strength.
Graham observed something odd about Willow’s behavior after a few weeks. He realized that Willow was pregnant!
Willow soon gave birth to nine robust and healthy children. She had a relatively easy time giving birth and caring for her young.
It was not difficult for Graham to find permanent homes for all nine puppies. As soon as Graham’s close friends learned about the puppies, they immediately agreed to adopt one each. Graham was pleased because he and Willow would be able to see the puppies frequently.
