Sage was a chubby little rescue puppy with his skin all cracked up. Samm and Alexis recently adopted the innocent animal, suffering a lot. But, Samm told Alexis that she couldn’t leave this innocent creature alone.
While taking him home, many things were going through her mind. First, they did not know if the puppy would be comfortable at home. Then, however, he was just different. He ran around the living room, picking up toys.
It was as if he was instantly comfortable. About 60% of his body was bald and full of scabs. With his skin condition, Samm had to keep him clothed. She would get up really early to give him his first round of meds.
Every time she fed him, Samm made sure that she added his vitamins to his food. In addition, she made sure that Sage had his medicated baths every other day. Finally, she would lather him up in coconut oil to soothe his skin during bedtime.
After the puppy had his medicines, he would sleep in his cage comfortably for the night. However, Sage’s skin condition was not the only problem he had. In addition to the cracked skin, the poor puppy had a severe upper respiratory infection.
Often, Samm questioned herself whether Sage was going to make it through or not. One day when Sage fell sick, the caring mother washed all his toys, dog bowls, and clothes to make sure they were clean. There were times when Samm literally slept beside Sage’s cage because she did not want to leave him alone.
She would make sure that he was loved and got constant attention every day. Then suddenly, Sage started to heal. He got better every day. Sage and Samm’s other pet dog, Sparky, started to go out on walks and liked each other. Soon Sage recovered completely. He went from being a sick, scared puppy to being a happy dog. Samm firmly believed that love can heal.
