It took half a day to find him after a villager called about a dog hiding in the woods. When rescuers approached, he bolted through the snowy forest, ignoring every call and disappearing deeper into the trees.
They followed him carefully until he reached a filthy, abandoned house where he had been surviving alone. Food was offered gently, and for the first time, his guarded expression softened as if he understood that help had finally arrived.
His eyes filled with tears while looking up at them, silently pleading to be taken away. Without hesitation, he was brought straight to the veterinarian, trembling from the winter cold even inside the car.
During the long drive, he lay quietly in the back seat, obedient and watchful. He kept glancing at the rescuers with curious, fragile hope, as though unsure whether this kindness would last.
At the clinic, tests revealed devastating news. Alex was diagnosed with cancer and a painful ear infection, conditions that explained his weakness and suffering.
Despite everything, he showed a sweet and gentle personality. He especially loved chicken, happily eating from the hands that now cared for him.
Because he had lived alone for so long, crowded places frightened him. Walks were kept calm and quiet, allowing him to adjust at his own pace while building trust.
Alex began chemotherapy treatments, receiving medication every seven days. He spent long hours in a small cage connected to intravenous fluids, enduring discomfort with quiet courage.
As the treatments progressed, most of his fur began falling out, and it was gently shaved to make him more comfortable. His eyes often seemed to say he was in pain, and those moments were heartbreaking.
Fortunately, the therapy began working, and his condition slowly improved. Strength returned to his body, and the once-frightened dog started to show signs of recovery.
After months of treatment, the long-awaited day finally arrived. He passed his final examination and was discharged from the veterinary clinic.
Three years have passed since Alex left that abandoned house. He now enjoys peaceful walks, meets other dogs calmly, and lives surrounded by steady love and protection.
The memory of the trembling dog in the dirty house remains unforgettable. But today, Alex lives a life filled with care and quiet happiness, and his smile will stay with those who rescued him for the rest of his days.
