A Heartbreaking Discovery on I-30

On a freezing day in Dallas, a helpless pup named Penny found herself stranded on the I-30 median, unable to move as cars rushed past her trembling form.

Fear filled her eyes as she watched vehicle after vehicle speed by, leaving her alone in the bitter cold without hope of rescue.

Whether she had been struck by a car or cruelly abandoned, Penny’s situation was dire as she lay there, injured and terrified, waiting for someone to notice her plight.

The Road to Recovery

This sweet one-year-old girl arrived at the vet with multiple injuries, including painful lacerations on one leg and a fracture that left her unable to bear weight on the other.

Despite her trauma, Penny’s initial tests brought encouraging news – she was heartworm negative, and her bloodwork showed promising results.

The dedicated veterinary team discovered a small fracture that they hoped would heal naturally, though her other leg required careful attention due to severe inflammation.
