Miraculously, a tiny stray puppy fell from the sky and survived
From Hawk’s talons to caring hands
Exhausted from a long day’s work, a group of construction workers were about to call it a day when a series of frantic yelps shattered the afternoon calm. Alerted by the distress, they scrambled to locate the source of the sound. After a frantic search, one worker, with a sudden jolt, looked up. Perched above them, a hawk gripped a tiny Chihuahua puppy in its talons. In a shocking turn of events, the hawk released its hold, sending the puppy plummeting towards the unsuspecting construction crew.
The sight that greeted them was a mix of relief and concern. Thankfully, the fall, though terrifying, was not fatal. The workers rushed to the puppy’s side, astonished at his resilience. Though battered and bruised with scratches all over, the little fighter seemed otherwise unharmed. Without hesitation, they scooped him up and took him to the nearest veterinarian clinic.
