Would you rescue a disabled hero, a dog of war?

Did you know that the United States has an almost unknown force of heroes who risk themselves on the most dangerous missions, exploring, searching for explosives, helping save wounded soldiers and other clandestine and super dangerous activities?

These heroes have gone unrecognized for years and at one point were abandoned or worse at the end of their tour… without a thank you or even a ride home.

America’s War Dogs have saved the lives of countless Americans and only recently have they been recognized and given a second chance at life in gratitude for their heroics.

Some are injured and physically disabled or maybe just longing for a home… which bears fruit for today’s real question.

Would you save the life of a disabled hero?

If we examine our attitudes toward dogs with disabilities (they may be war dogs or dogs from your neighborhood or local shelter), maybe we can learn a little about ourselves in the process.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG, it’s still worth reading as it really is about the meaning and value of all life.

Usually, when people decide to adopt or rescue a dog, the first thought that comes to mind is that cute puppy they saw at a pet store (bad choice), shelter, rescue, or happily playing in their front yard. neighbor.

There is no question that a healthy young puppy can be a wonderful addition to any home. And a lively, already house-trained, ready-to-go adult dog can be the perfect addition to a busy household looking for a ‘ready-to-go’ companion.

Perfect puppy, perfect adult dog, what can be better than that? The answer may surprise you, but the most rewarding experience he’s ever had may be the moment his life is blessed by the company of a disabled dog.

I have had the opportunity to spend up to hours in hospitals for patients of the human variety. I have seen children stricken with cancer, the elderly lying in bed during their last illness, someone’s ex-husband or wife, alone and suffering from illness, praying for the chance to be needed again.

In each age group, with each disease, the desire to love and be loved remains in the heart of the afflicted. Sometimes I would stop and chat for a moment or two with such a patient on the way to their next medical procedure or taking advantage of a few moments of freedom during a wheelchair ride.

Eager to interact, they told stories of their youth, times spent fishing, with family, in need.

The same analogy applies to disabled dogs. Whether they were born with a deformity, injured in an accident or during war, mistreated or recovering from a medical condition, these dogs yearn to love and be loved. Having endured so much to survive, they want nothing more than to show their appreciation, their love, and to share the wisdom that only a soul that has endured so much is capable of.

War dogs have endured the most extreme dangers, and while most are safe and sound, they have never had a chance at a happy home life.

When you adopt a disabled dog or a war dog, you become a student. Student of life, student of love, student of compassion, and you will have a teacher who will be your most joyful companion in life’s adventures. And you’ll be adopting a hero, physically disabled or one who just needs and deserves a loving home.

If you’re ready to adopt a disabled dog on your life’s journey, you should be prepared to give it your time and the necessary resources, such as a dog wheelchair.

In return, you will be rewarded with an experience that will instill in your heart and soul a perspective that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Lucky dog, lucky you. 🙂

War dog or local disabled friend who needs a second chance at life… they are all heroes and friends.
