A neglected Golden Retriever sat alone in the river, trying to ease the pain of his tumors.
A Dog’s Retreat
The riverbank was quiet except for the water’s ripple. I spotted a Golden Retriever lying in the shallows. His coat shimmered faintly, but his drooping eyes betrayed something deeper.
I called softly, waving a stick, but he didn’t move. Slowly emerging, water dripping, I noticed a large tumor on his side. He wasn’t relaxing; he was enduring. Before I could help, he disappeared, leaving ripples behind.
The Golden Retriever lay in the river, his fur glistening as he quietly sought relief from the heat, masking a deeper struggle.
Something Was Wrong
The dog remained aloof, his gaze distant, as my attempts to connect failed to breach whatever weighed on him.

Lost in the Water

By the time I decided to help, the golden retriever had vanished, leaving ripples in the water.
By the Shore
The next morning, I returned to the park and found the Golden Retriever by the water. His coat was dull, and a tumor attracted insects. Despite this, he greeted me with a wag of his tail. I couldn’t turn away from him.

A Sickly Friend

He didn’t react when I patted his head, though his frail body was clearly battling suffering.
A Quiet Vigil
It was my first time in such a situation, but his trusting eyes made me resolve to act despite my uncertainty.
I stayed by his side, my heart heavy. He lay silently, his body still. In that moment, a fragile bond formed of quiet understanding.
Tangguo’s Burden
The tumor on Tangguo’s body was large, leaving nearby villagers reeling. Despite his condition, he approached everyone with a wagging tail, hoping for kindness. No one understood how such a loving dog endured his burden.
They said the dog’s name was Tangguo, tied to a creature battered by pain and neglect. The name clung to him like an echo of a life where someone once called out to him with love, before sadness overtook everything.
A Second Chance
I wondered if Tangguo’s previous owner had abandoned him because of his tumor. How could anyone leave such a gentle, trusting creature behind? Tangguo deserved better, and I vowed to give him the care and love he’d been denied.
On the tenth day, I brought Tangguo to the hospital. He wagged his tail as the doctors prepared him for surgery. The tumor was removed, marking a step toward healing.
Healing and Happiness
Each day during his recovery, I prepare nutritious meals to help him regain strength. Watching him eat fills me with joy. He seems lighter, tail wagging in gratitude, and I smile seeing him lively again.

New Morning Walks
When Tangguo plays, he loses track of time, refusing to head home as the day ends, eager to continue the adventure.
On the eleventh morning, I clipped Tangguo’s leash, and we set out. His tail wagged, his steps light. Tangguo sniffed every blade of grass and wagged at friendly faces. He was thriving, and I wondered how I’d lived without him.
Hospital Visit
Tangguo, recovering from his ordeal, greeted everyone cheerfully. With new human and canine friends, he was rediscovering joy and growing more confident with each step.
On the fifteenth day, I brought Tangguo to the hospital for a check-up. He sat calmly by my side. The doctor said he’d need to stay overnight to remove his stitches. I settled him in, gave a reassuring pat, and headed home.
Following Me
Tangguo stayed by my side. After his stitches were removed, the doctor advised overnight observation. I settled him into the recovery room and walked away, feeling a mix of worry and hope.
After ensuring Tangguo was settled for his hospital stay, I headed home. The house felt still, but this was part of his recovery journey.
Recovery and Care
On the thirtieth day after bringing Tangguo home, I prepared nutritious meals to help him regain strength. He had gone from a frail dog to one with a healthy appetite, shinier fur, and a wagging tail, symbolizing his growing vitality.
Tangguo has grown heavier but remains a kind, gentle soul, wagging his tail with enduring warmth.
The Still Goldfish
Tangguo gently returned goldfish to the pond but didn’t realize they wouldn’t swim again. He stayed by the water daily, watching and protecting them like old friends.

Tangguo’s New Toy
On the thirty-third day, Tangguo, a mischievous Golden Retriever, developed a habit of chewing everything.
To protect my furniture from Tangguo’s chewing, I gave him a chew toy. He eagerly gnawed on it until he fell asleep mid-play, still clutching it.
Tangguo’s Defiance
Tangguo loved playing with his chew toy, gnawing at it with energy. He wrestled for hours until exhausted, drifting off to sleep mid-chew, the toy still in his paws.
By the thirty-fifth day, Tangguo spat at me when I didn’t share my meal, then barked and boldly snatched food off my plate.
Playful Tangguo
When I scold Tangguo, he barks, tail wagging, then lunges and steals my food, leaving me unsure whether to laugh or lecture.
By day forty-two, Tangguo’s energy persisted. Rain or shine, he dashed through puddles, soaked but joyful. Seeing me, he’d slow, parade his drenched self, tail wagging. I’d grab a towel and dry him off, marveling at his spirit.
Tangguo’s Antics
Tangguo hurries over, head down, feigning sorrow. I kneel, drying his fur while he soaks up the attention with a mischievous glint.

Motivated by Snacks

A Playmate for Tangguo
Tangguo was persistent about getting food. He barked, tilted his head, and pawed at me until I gave in.
On the fifty-third day, I brought home a stray named Binggan to keep Tangguo company. The dogs eyed each other cautiously, but soon bonded. By mealtime, they were playfully jostling. Their tails wagged as they waited for their food.
Eager Eaters

Blind, starving and unable to stand, this paper-thin puppy is Dying
A Puppy in the Trash
As the girl walked along the park path, her dog pulling at the leash, a cleaner stopped her. The cleaner was staring at a trash can, and a soft whimper caught her attention.
She leaned closer and found a tiny puppy nestled among the trash, its eyes pleading for help.
When the puppy was rescued from the alley, it was a pitiful sight, covered in grime.
Its tiny body was tangled in scraps, trembling with cold and fear.
Rescue Mission
If not for the unsettling flicker of its single open eye, one might have easily mistaken it for lifeless. The dog lay there, weakened and fragile.
With a heavy heart, she returned home, cradling a cardboard box that held the fragile little puppy inside.
Meet the Blind Puppy
The vet informed them that the tiny puppy was just a month old. He was thin, his little body having gone far too long without food.
One of the puppy’s eyes appeared like a lifeless button.
The doctor had just finished discussing his condition, and the news weighed heavily in the air.
Against the Odds
The tiny creature weighed less than 500 grams.
“Do you see this damaged eye?” the doctor inquired, his voice low and heavy with concern. “It has already begun to bulge out,” he continued.
The doctor’s words became painfully clear: without immediate treatment, the fragile eyeball had succumbed.
Critical Condition
Esther listened intently as he explained that the creature’s hind legs were unable to bear weight.
He suspected that, due to his condition, he might not have had many proper meals in recent days. The doctor continued that he needed subcutaneous fluids to help replenish his nutrition and give him a fighting chance.
Hypothermia, dehydration, and malnutrition—the doctor’s words painted a bleak picture of his condition. As he spoke, the dog violently, his one remaining eye darting around the room.
Introducing Little Lamb
After receiving a dose of the nutrient solution, the dog’s frail body trembled as he struggled to find his footing. With great effort, the dog managed to lift himself slightly off the bed.
The frail little puppy resembled a lost lamb. For now, let’s call him Little Lamb, a fitting name for one so vulnerable.
A Visit to ICU
Little Lamb was quickly taken to the ICU, where the situation required immediate attention. The fluorescent lights reflected off the polished surfaces, creating a cold atmosphere.
To warm his fragile body, a hairdryer was used, its heat contrasting the chill of the room.
In the afternoon light, a young girl arrived for a visit, her footsteps light and hopeful.
Little Lamb, a small creature with soft fur, nestled quietly in his food bowl, oblivious to the world around him.
As she approached, her heart ached with concern for Little Lamb, who had been through so much.
A Fragile Hope
With gentle hands, she cleaned his eyes again, checking for any signs of improvement. The doctor had told her the surgery could only happen once his body regained strength after its long battle.
Each time she touched his eyelids, she hoped for the day he would open them fully and see the world, free from the shadows clouding his vision.
The uncertainty hung heavy as the doctor discussed his precarious state.
After the virus test, his illness left him drained; he lay there, struggling to lift his eyelids.
The unspoken question lingered: would he still be here when dawn broke?
Second Chances
As the medical drama unfolded, the urgent need for a blood transfusion weighed heavily in the dimly lit room. The doctor, voice steady but strained, delivered the troubling news of a blood type mismatch, leaving the team scrambling for a solution.
Just as hope began to fade, a solution emerged—a robust husky with a perfect blood type match.
Despite barely being able to open his eyes, the instinct to survive remained, showing itself in that singular, persistent attempt to eat again.
Out of Danger
After three days of intensive treatment, he was transferred from the sterile ICU to the busy general ward. The air was thick with antiseptic and the murmurs of nurses, an environment both overwhelming and reassuring.
At long last, the worst was behind him.
He had endured a harrowing battle, his body frail and trembling as he struggled to make sense of the faces through his foggy vision.
First Playtime
This was the first time he had the chance to play since everything had changed. As he lay there, his eyes caught the vibrant toys of the nearby puppies.
Intrigued, he gathered his strength and began to bat at them with his little paws.
Each item represented not just warmth and comfort but a chance for moments of laughter and love amidst the uncertainty they endured.
I felt a surge of determination; I wanted to make a difference, however small, in this world that felt so heavy.
Improved Vision
It was here that Little Lamb was found, confined in a cage that dwarfed his fragile frame. The size of the cage loomed ominously, a stark contrast to his tiny stature.
As the doctor examined him, Little Lamb could barely keep his remaining eye open, shivering under the weight of fear and exhaustion.
As Esther watched the doctor examine him, a glimmer of hope flickered within her. Why did it seem that his eyesight had improved, even if just a little?
A Lamb’s Adventure
This was his new friend, a bright spark of hope in a world that felt overwhelmingly dim.
Unlike the toys around him, this friend longed for adventure and connection, eager to explore beyond the hospital walls.
This would be the little lamb’s very first toy, a bright red ball that shimmered in the sunlight.
It was simple, but to the lamb, it represented a world of joy and adventure waiting to be discovered.
Too Tired to Play
Within minutes, the little lamb grew weary of his game, his frail body betraying him.
His strength was sapped, leaving him too weak to keep up with the fun around him.
His battle with intestinal inflammation continued, leaving his stool far from normal.
The uncertainty of his health weighed heavily on him, evident in the trembles that shook his frail body as he anxiously scanned the faces around him with his one good eye.
The Final Farewell
The doctor examined the eye closely, noting a slight deformity that suggested something more troubling beneath the surface.
They needed to determine if the necrotic eye had any chance of recovery—a glimmer of hope amidst the despair.
“Little Lamb, I’m leaving now,” The girl whispered softly, my voice barely cutting through the heavy silence in the room. The weight of my words lingered, filled with the bittersweet reality of our parting.
Day Seven
“Leaving so soon?” the doctor’s voice carried concern, his brow furrowed and his expression filled with worry.
It was day seven of Little Lamb’s grueling treatment, and the atmosphere in the room was thick with uncertainty.
With great care, I prepared a selection of special canned food, knowing how much it could help him. His recovery had been remarkable, and I felt a glimmer of hope thinking about how far he had come.
Just days ago, he had been trembling, peering around the room with his one remaining eye, lost in confusion.
A New Friendship
It was a small but heartwarming development, especially given how frail and frightened he had been just days before.
In this moment, amidst all the uncertainty, there was a flicker of hope—a sign that even in his weakened state, a bond could form, bringing a glimmer of joy to his difficult journey.
Now, standing and walking had become manageable tasks for him.
Little Lamb’s Recovery
It was truly astonishing to think that just a few days ago, this little puppy had been fighting for his life.
Now, he was sitting up, his gaze clear and bright, taking in the world with a newfound curiosity.
The transformation felt almost miraculous, and it filled the room with a sense of hope and possibility.
A Remarkable Turnaround
On the tenth day of his hospital stay, Little Lamb was finally set to be discharged.
The news brought a flicker of hope to the otherwise bleak atmosphere that had surrounded him.
After enduring days of uncertainty and weakness, when he could hardly muster the strength to open his eyes or comprehend the worried faces around him, the thought of leaving those sterile white walls filled him with a mix of relief and trepidation.
Homeward Bound
After the doctor had discussed his condition, I decided to dress him in a tiny, frilly dress, hoping it would bring a smile to everyone’s face.
But he wriggled and squirmed, clearly uncomfortable with the fabric against his skin.
As we made our way home, however, a spark of energy seemed to return to him.
Little Lamb’s Adventure
Good boy, Little Lamb, she whispered gently, her voice barely above a murmur as they neared the warmth of home.
The warmth of affection wrapped around them both like a comforting blanket.
She could feel his small body trembling beneath her touch.
Restless Explorer
Upon arriving home, he leapt out of the car with an infectious excitement that took me by surprise.
It was as if the confines of the vehicle had unleashed a pent-up spirit, and I couldn’t help but marvel at his resilience.
Sweet Dreams
The scene was deceptively serene, yet the tension in the air was palpable.
Little Lamb, come here! he called out, his voice strained and weary.
Time for a Nap
Exhausted and weakened by the ordeal, he finally surrendered to sleep.
The room around him faded, the beeping machines and whispered conversations becoming distant echoes as he clung to the comforting softness of the toy.
Awaiting Adoption
Even confined in the small cage, he remained restless, his body trembling with an urgency that seemed unshakeable.
The days stretched ahead as we anticipated another checkup in just two more torturous days, filled with worry and uncertainty.
The Great Escape
As soon as the door creaked open, a sense of urgency filled the small room.
This new revelation brought a glimmer of hope amid the uncertainty surrounding his condition.
The Great Escape
As soon as the door creaked open, a sense of urgency filled the small room.
The little creature felt a thrill of instinctual rebellion, itching to dart into the unknown beyond.
Another Lock-Up
Once again, he found himself confined, the sulky expression on his face resembling that of a petulant child denied a favorite toy.
His demeanor was bleak, and the heaviness of his situation was evident as he lay there, visibly distressed.
Eyes Under Examination
Just two days later, I found myself at the eye hospital with Little Lamb nestled in my arms.
The looming antiseptic smell and the stark fluorescent lights felt oppressive as I stepped through the sliding doors.
Eye Condition
The necrotic eyeball, now in a state of gradual decay, seemed to mirror the somber atmosphere surrounding him.
Once vibrant and full of life, it was now diminishing, perhaps to shrink down to the size of a mung bean.
Goodbye, Little Lamb
With a heavy heart, the moment finally came for Little Lamb to leave the comforts of the clinic and join his new adoptive family.
He was such a fragile soul, and the thought of parting left a bittersweet ache in the hearts of those who had cared for him.
“Oh, little guy, how I will miss you!” one nurse whispered, wiping away a tear.
In the beginning, the adopter showered Little Lamb with the finest pet supplies.
Plush beds, vibrant toys, and an assortment of treats filled the room, creating a cozy haven for the small creature.
Little Lamb may have been surrounded by luxury, but the storm of uncertainty still lingered, waiting to test their bond.
The Future Furry Friend
Amidst the turmoil of his condition, a flicker of hope remained in the form of Xiaodoubao—a petite, adorable dog whose joyful spirit promised to brighten even the darkest days.
As he lay there, struggling to comprehend his circumstances, the image of Xiaodoubao offered a glimmer of comfort.
Perhaps one day he would grow strong enough to reach that vision of vitality. The thought flickered through the minds of those gathered, a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty.
Finding Love Again
Perched comfortably on the adopter’s lap, Little Lamb displayed an unexpected calmness that belied his tumultuous past.
Nestled against his new companion, it was clear that this little creature had found a second chance, thriving in a world that had once turned its back on him.
In that fragile moment, as the doctor delivered the grim news, something miraculous flickered within him. It was love—a warm ember igniting a second chance at life.
Despite the shadows clouding his vision and the tremors shaking his frail body, the thought of loved ones wrapped around him like a comforting blanket.
From Trash to Treasure
No creature deserves to be discarded like refuse, and this tale indeed takes a turn for the better. In a world where compassion can often seem scarce, a glimmer of hope emerged, reminding us of the deep bond between humans and their furry companions.
In a heartwarming twist of fate, Little Lamb emerged from the shadows of despair, her body restored and healthy—a testament to the relentless dedication of her rescuer.
Once barely clinging to life, she now stood strong, embodying the resilience ignited within her.
