Happy Ending

After ten months in the making, Nikko, the stray dog from Cartagena, Colombia, gets his dream come true. He went from homeless, unwanted and malnourished, to loved and spoiled, but on the road to his American dream, the once stray dog fought off, heartworm, Lyme disease and cancer.

Back in February of this year we told you the story of Nikko, a street dog from Cartagena, Colombia, and Vanda Hale, an American citizen from Arizona. Hale met the street dog while she vacationed in the tropical city over Christmas break 2013. She fell in love with the black mutt and decided she had to rescue him and bring him home to Arizona.

In Diamante, Argentina, a dog roaming around a construction site fell and became trapped in an excavated hole but thanks to firefighters the pet was rescued, checked by a vet and returned to his owners.

It appears the dog fell in a residential construction zone. The dog was found trapped inside one of the excavated holes for a home’s foundation. Only the dog’s face was visible and thanks to a local who heard the dog’s cries, the animal in need was rescued.
