Campaign ManagerSurgery For Merrill
It is very sad to know that most of the dogs that have been rescued from the streets often face health problems. They mostly get skin infections or bruises from multiple factors. It is probably due to the fact that they do not get proper safety measures and safeguarding that they so desperately need. This was the exact case for poor Merrill. During the time she was saved by the volunteers working at the Rocket Dog Rescue shelter, Merrill was suffering from a terrible urinary tract infection. It was so bad that she actually needed surgery to help save her life. Taco remained very anxious and was clearly very worried about Merrill who was in surgery. As soon as the surgery was done, the volunteers were planning on keeping Merrill alone but then they were in for some trouble with this plan. Like we have mentioned earlier, these two dogs of different breeds (one pit bull and one chihuahua), cannot remain separated even for a few moments. They end up crying and desperately pleading for each other’s company. So when they tried to keep them apart from each other after Merrill’s surgery, the same thing happened once again. They both would not stop their whining, calling out to each other. In the end, Taco was ultimately kept in the recovery room with Merrill. Taco showed that her loyalty was not a joke was remained a helpful friend and moral supporter for Merrill while she was recovering. The volunteers were baffled by how much these dogs were showering each other with love and loyalty. They were also very anxious about how this bond would affect them later in the days to come.
