Cola, the dog, was a nine-month-old puppy living in Bangkok, Thailand. He was a playful and curious pup.
Unfortunately, his neighbor didn’t like his playfulness. It even made it worse when he accidentally gnawed on the neighbor’s shoes and was caught in the act.
Naturally, a sane person would just let him go away because the poor dog didn’t know what he was doing. However, the neighbor did the opposite thing.
He ran back to his house and grabbed his sword. He then mercilessly cut Cola’s front legs and just walked away.
Cola’s owner tried to stop the vile man, but he just threatened her. Poor Cola and his mom. Both of them didn’t deserve this.
Cola’s mom immediately took the dog to Soi Dog Foundation for emergency treatment. However, nothing was going well since the wounds made it harder for Cola to survive.
The poor dog suffered from septicemia for many weeks. Luckily, he fought hard and was able to recover.
Cola’s vets made sure he could get used to the disabled life. Everything was going well. But it all went down when they received the news that the vile man who abused him was released one month after he was imprisoned.
Just knowing this was enough to know that Cola’s life will be in danger again. That’s when a woman named Gill Dalley, one of Soi Dog Foundation’s founding members, decided to rescue Cola.
Gill knows how hard Cola’s life is since she’s a double amputee herself. So when she adopted him, she promised that she would make everything better.
She then reached out to her prosthetist named Bengt Soderberg and asked him to create custom made prosthetic legs for Cola. Despite never working for animals before, Bengt accepted the task and gave his services for free.
After the fitting session, Cola finally received his new fiber prosthetic legs. He was so excited that he ran after he had his legs!
After what Cola encountered, he just deserves the love he receives now. At least now, we know that his playfulness will never be misunderstood, but will be adored instead.
