"JAN" was a dog that was never owned or cared for. He was a stray dog until my husband and I rescued him Tuesday evening at about 10pm close to our neighborhood. We have noticed him about a week before rescuing him, but then he was not always in that same spot until he was there again on Tuesday.
We took him to Animal Clinic Alabang on Wednesday. Unfortunately, "JAN" already had a serious viral infection that attacked his liver. Due to his suffering state he was “put down” late yesterday afternoon. This came with a lot of disappointment as it was the first dog we rescued, usually we rescue cats, and I saw myself nursing him back to health with the help of a vet and also PAWS. At least he did not die on the street and for one day he was owned and cared for. I’m writing about "JAN" because I want you who care so much about animals to also give “JAN” a moment of acknowledgement. Despite "JAN"'s irreversible condition, he was very kind and he wagged his tail when he saw us.
So even when some stray dogs look like they are mending for themselves on the streets, their bodies are always in a terrible state due to malnutrition, worms, and infections. I do not have a picture of "JAN" as I wanted to wait until he would feel better.

hi,
its always heartwarming to read stories of such courage and respect for life. Its not everyday that we read similar stories from people but, we definitely hope for, that this kinds of act happens every second of each day everyday forever.
we may never be able to save all the animals we want to care for, but for every time we do and for every time we show them we care, its giving them the life they deserve for once, no matter how short it will be cherished physically. David
