A dog with an embedded BARBED WIRE survives in the desert for 7 months! 😨 (read below)
20,545Every movement was painful for Falkor because of the barbed wire embedded in his coat, but he wouldn't let anyone near him. When we got a text message about him on the #HopeForPaws line, I rushed out to the desert. Because it was a long drive, I decided to just set up a trap and wait.
I waited for 6 hours, and when the temperatures got cooler, I had an idea - a noise that would bring him closer to the trap so I could get him out of the desert.
When I got the call for help, I was not told he had this barbed wire attached to him. I tried removing it, but I had to be extremely careful not to injure him and ensure he wouldn't get away from me. I couldn't remove it by myself, so I drove back to Los Angeles to do this safely with Loreta.
Falkor the cocker spaniel (named after the Luck Dragon from The Neverending Story) has the most beautiful ears and eyes, just like that Hollywood star from 1984.
