A family lovingly rescues a puppy with a deformed face, embracing him exactly as he is

A battered beginning of the poor dog

Arrow’s life began under a dark cloud. When he arrived at PMM Rescue Inc., a dedicated animal rescue organization, he was in a devastating condition. A vicious bite attack from another dog had left his jaw horribly shattered. Sadly, the damage was so severe and necrotic – emitting a foul odor – that saving the entire jaw was impossible. The only option was a major surgery to remove the deceased bone. Dr. Sidhu, a hero in Arrow’s story, stepped up for the intricate and time-consuming procedure. This dedicated veterinarian from Bakersfield, California, wouldn’t rest until he had given the small puppy a fighting chance.

While the vicious attack left permanent physical scars on Arrow’s young face, it couldn’t touch his spirit. Remarkably, Arrow’s cheerful and happy demeanor has remained constant since his early days. A heartwarming video documented his tragic beginnings alongside the immense love and care that helped him become a resilient “creature of light.”

Living life to the fullest

Arrow is a dog who embraces life with unbridled enthusiasm. He enjoys the simple pleasures: eating (though creating quite the mess!), playfully fetching a ball, learning new tricks, and indulging in messy water breaks. However, his true loves are cuddling with his family, showering them with sloppy kisses, napping whenever possible (who wouldn’t!), and going on leisurely evening walks. His family cherishes him unconditionally, accepting his physical differences and any limitations they may present. Despite being two years old, Arrow possesses the boundless energy and joy of a young puppy. He knows he’s adored and thrives on that unconditional love, living life on his own delightful terms.

Beauty beyond appearances

Arrow’s story serves as a powerful reminder that a person’s, or a dog’s, true worth lies far beyond their physical appearance. It perfectly exemplifies the wisdom found in the quote, “What is essential is invisible to the eye,” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry from The Little Prince. Arrow’s journey from a victim of cruelty to a beloved family member is a testament to the transformative power of love and acceptance. He shows us that true beauty lies in the unwavering spirit and the capacity for joy that resides within.
