In the heart of a bustling construction site in Texas, the piercing cries of a distressed creature echoed through the air, catching the attention of two vigilant workers. Driven by compassion, they embarked on a daring quest to locate the source of the desperate pleas. With every step, their determination grew stronger, until finally, they pinpointed the origin of the sound high above them.
A small dog was being held by a hawk as it circled in the sky. Construction workers below quickly realized what was happening and watched in horror as the hawk released the dog, causing it to plummet to the ground. Thankfully, a Chihuahua puppy nearby was found by the workers who rushed it to a veterinary facility in hopes of saving its life. Unfortunately, no one came forward to claim the puppy, who was not microchipped, so custody was given to the Austin Animal Center (AAC). The puppy, now known as the Miracle Puppy, amazed everyone at the shelter with its incredible story of survival. Despite being only six weeks old and enduring such a traumatic experience, all the Miracle Puppy craved was love from its new shelter friends.
According to Jennifer Olohan, the communication and publicity manager at AAC, the moment she laid eyes on a small dog at the shelter, he simply wanted to be held. Soon after entering the shelter, the dog was connected to an IV for fluid administration but still tried to walk up to greet her. She carefully held him while keeping an eye on his IV. The shelter staff affectionately named the dog Tony Hawk. Fortunately, despite a serious fall, Tony only sustained minor scratches on his head and chest, and it was confirmed that he would fully recover.
Surprisingly, Olohan shared that Tony Hawk had only suffered minor injuries. Despite being scratched by the hawk’s talons, he only had scabs on his head and shoulders. Luckily, there were no broken bones or internal injuries from the fall, which was nothing short of a miracle.
Tony’s background is unclear as it’s uncertain whether he was born as a stray or rescued from a backyard. Nevertheless, his shelter family is thrilled to have him and happy to report that he’s doing well. He’ll remain with a foster family until he’s old enough to be neutered, after which the shelter will start looking for a permanent home for him. According to Olohan, Tony’s foster family has already received several adoption applications from excellent candidates.
Despite a challenging beginning, Tony’s delightful personality and energetic demeanor remain intact, making him a perfect candidate for adoption by a fortunate family, as suggested by his shelter companions. Don’t hesitate to pass this information along to your loved ones!
