Employees at the Marine Oil petrol station were horrified to see a dog in agony as they heard its cries. After looking into it more, they discovered a small puppy that was in great discomfort and barely alive as it lay next to the station. It was clear that four days prior, he had been hit by a car, but nobody had come to his aid. He was in critical condition, and his leg was covered in maggots. He had the eyes of a small arctic fox, despite his depressing state, and his Scandinavian-like appearance led to the naming of him Axl.
Axl let out a pained cry, but as he was held gently, he became silent. The first thing the rescuers did was take him to a clinic where they pleaded for a prescription drug. An IV line was placed and Axl’s blood was checked for numbers and type in case he needed a transfusion. X-rays revealed a broken spine, and Axl was under attack from ants on top of a maggot infestation. To alleviate his pain, the rescuers carefully removed each ant and maggot by hand, one by one. Axl appeared to be comatose, yet food could wake him up, demonstrating his will to live.
The rescuers thought that Axl might survive if fortune were on his side, but they were aware that recovery would not be easy. Axl was eating and drinking fairly well considering his condition, and there were signs of improvement. However, by day, he appeared pale and irritable, indicating that his health had gotten worse. Without any delay, the rescuers returned him to the clinic for a blood test and a blood transfusion. Although Axl’s blood results were regrettably far worse than they had been when he was first saved, the blood transfusion was successful because of the blood from a fantastic donor named Sinead.
After being released from the clinic earlier, Axl was brought back to the shelter to resume his recuperation. Now that he was able to sit up by himself, the determined little snow fox—a nickname he earned—was making progress toward his recovery. When it was time to take his prescription, he scowled, but he knew it was essential to his recovery. Axl was even given a bath, and his smile showed how happy he was about the attention he was receiving. As Axl grew stronger every day, the rescuers thought he was ready to resume taking his first steps.
Axl’s story is a tribute to the strength of love and care, as well as the tenacity of animals. Axl battled to survive despite his agony and suffering, and now that he has the support of tenacious rescuers, he is making progress towards his recovery. His narrative serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of providing relief to those in need and advocating for animal welfare. While Axl continues his recovery, he serves as a role model for others, demonstrating that even the worst situations can have a bright side if one is committed and compassionate.
