After the volunteers found the dog, she looked very sad. It was a skeleton covered in leather. It was these thoughts that arose in my head when I saw in front of me an exhausted dog with dull eyes, which had already resigned itself to its fate. She barely kept on her paws, but still followed the person, but at the same time she chose places with open ground or grass. It was too hard for her to walk on hard surfaces.
Despite the wretched appearance of the dog, it was immediately clear that it was a Russian hound. Even on the verge of life and death, she retained her beauty and nobility of the breed.
The animal is not accustomed to communicating with people, most likely, its owner has never talked to it and certainly has not stroked it, the dog did not know such manifestations of love and does not perceive them even now, it does not understand them. the dog is very obedient, despite the pain and impotence, immediately submits, if you pull the leash even a little harder — they are used to obeying a person. Probably, the owner was cruel to the poor thing, and she was used to such an attitude.
The dog knows the car very well and loves it. For her, this is the only known source of warmth and joy from the hunt that lies ahead.
I don’t even want to think about what a hard and devoid of all joy life this unfortunate animal lived. When the dog grew old and blind, the owner simply took her away and threw her to certain death.
After the examination, it became clear that the poor man was kept in terrible conditions. This was evidenced by the state of her organs. Most likely, the dog lived in a dark, cold room, which caused blindness, as well as kidney disease. They fed her only bones and scraps, which are not suitable for dogs.
The dog also injured its front paw, or maybe someone helped to damage it. Why did she freeze and die of hunger and pain in front of people in the barnyard at the monastery, where her scent led her? We don’t know.
I would like to help Zlata (as we called her) to find out what love, care, warmth, normal food and human goodness are.
She will have an operation on a broken leg in the near future, but after that. As the swelling goes away and the wound clears up. Now Zlata is in overexposure, where she is properly cared for.
