Fahrudin Caki Bravo, the founder of the Bosnian rescue organization Saving Stray Animals, saw a miserable little puppy by the side of the road on his approach to the shelter. He came to a halt to examine the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s condition. Even though he knew deep down that he was an abandoned puppy, seeing it up close crushed his heart.

When the rescuer approached, the puppy became afraid. He tried to flee, but he couldn’t because his back legs were wounded. Instead, he dragged his lower half and hid behind a bush.

Caki, determined to assist, followed the puppy he later named Goldy. He tried to reassure him and tell him that he didn’t mean any harm. Despite the ensuing turmoil, he was able to soothe him down and carry him in his arms.

Caki decided to take Goldy to the vet’s clinic first before bringing him home. He knew he had to be in pain, and he didn’t want him to suffer any longer. He allowed him to ride on his lap since he knew it made him feel protected.

The veterinarians examined Goldy and discovered that his injuries were at least two weeks old. They didn’t know what caused his physical injuries, but it was serious enough to render him paralyzed. His nerves were destroyed, and his genitalia were severely injured.

Caki wished for Goldy to enjoy a regular and happy life. Unfortunately, it was too late to save the puppy’s legs because he did not receive prompt medical attention. Aside from his impairment, he was in excellent health, which is reason enough to persevere.

The savior did everything in his power to assist the puppy. He raised funds for his medical bills and even constructed a homemade wheelchair for him. He reared him and then found him his perfect match when he was ready.

Goldy moved home with his adoptive mom, Jasmina Gerstner, a month after his rescue. He fell in love with her the moment they met, and he was pleased that she welcomed him home.
