Prior to being rescued by a Houston-based dog shelter, this adorable pooch had faced quite the tumultuous past. She was a mere six months old when she was pulled from her previous unsafe surroundings, where she had already been subjected to cruelty. Upon arrival at the shelter, she underwent a thorough examination that included a CT scan, which helped reveal the exact trajectory of the bullet that had hit her.
Regrettably, the bullet inflicted severe harm, resulting in the loss of his right eye and a part of his jaw, along with inner ear damage. Additionally, he suffered injuries to his inner ear. Although his recuperation was initially gradual, he eventually achieved the most exceptional outcomes. Bubbles had a lengthy path to healing, but she was fortunate to have the backing of compassionate individuals who worked tirelessly to ensure her well-being and vitality. Despite the extended duration of her recovery, Bubbles was not solitary on this journey.
Meet Kilyn Horton Blanchard and her husband Ike Blanchard, the proud owners of a mobile dog grooming service. The lovely couple has generously offered their dog care services to look after a charming pooch. This furry friend is quite extroverted and loves to interact with people of all ages, especially kids. Her playful nature brings immense joy to those around her.
Back in 2017, upon first hearing Bubbles’ story, the team felt an overwhelming urge to provide her with some form of help. Kilyn was noted as saying that, due to a previous injury, Bubbles had a broken right jaw joint, which had since healed and formed into calcified tissue. As a result of this, Bubbles could only open her mouth approximately one and a half inches wide, yet somehow managed to maintain her weight.
The couple originally set out to save the dog’s life, but the dog’s admirable tenacity in fighting for her own life convinced them to give her a permanent home.
Bubbles has found a wonderful new home and is thriving in a loving environment where she receives constant care and attention. Kilyn, who adopted her, still gets emotional when she thinks about the day they first met. Bubbles was sleeping in her kennel, but as soon as it was opened, she came out and snuggled up to Kilyn, craving affection and love. Bubbles’ story has touched countless people around the world, and her remarkable recovery has been documented in multiple countries. After four years of hard work, Bubbles is now healthy, happy, and full of life. Her previous injuries are no longer an issue, and she has transformed into a playful dog who loves nothing more than bringing joy to others with a wag of her tail and a friendly smile.
Bubbles finds her greatest joy when she’s in the spotlight. Their adoptive guardians encourage others to take in puppies who have experienced trauma in their past. To help these pups break free from the shell of fear that imprisons them, it takes a lot of attention, love, and patience. “The world can be a cruel place, but we hope people understand that just because a shelter dog has been hurt or mistreated doesn’t mean they’re unfixable. Sometimes, they’re just scared and need a bit of affection,” Kilyn explained.
Bubbles, the famous dog, has inspired the creation of a heartwarming book that promotes empathy and compassion towards those who are different from us. This adorable pup is also making appearances at various events to raise awareness about animal cruelty, which is a severe issue prevalent in our society today. The team behind Bubbles is currently persuading her to participate in a campaign aimed at educating people about animal care. As part of this campaign, Bubbles would visit schools and talk to children and teenagers about taking proper care of animals. The team wants to focus on Bubbles’ future and demonstrate that her troubled past does not define her life. Additionally, their goal is to encourage altruism and goodwill towards others.
Just like the heartbreaking story of Bubbles, there are countless other tales that grip our hearts and make us worry. The sad reality is that animal abuse contributes to the wave of violence that plagues our society. Therefore, it’s crucial to focus on preventing and stopping animal cruelty, starting with raising awareness about compassion and respect for all living creatures. Love is the key to healing the scars of the past, and if we’re serious about ending violence, we must actively work to protect all sentient beings from harm. Let our actions reflect the values we cherish in our hearts.
