Rescue stories often showcase the indomitable spirit and unwavering determination of animals in the face of adversity. The tale of Falkor, a courageous dog with barbed wire embedded in his coat, is a testament to their resilience.
This article recounts his incredible survival in the harsh desert for seven months and the remarkable efforts made by Hope For Paws to save him.
A patient rescue
Every movement was excruciatingly painful for Falkor due to the embedded barbed wire, but his survival instinct kept him away from anyone who could help.
When the #HopeForPaws hotline received a text message about him, they sprang into action. A rescue team rushed out to the desert, setting up a trap in hopes of safely capturing the elusive dog.
After six long hours of waiting, an idea struck the rescuers. They devised a plan to create a noise that would entice Falkor closer to the trap, increasing the chances of a successful rescue.
Finally, their patience paid off as Falkor cautiously approached the trap, lured by the sound.
To their shock, they discovered the extent of Falkor’s suffering. The dog had a tangled mess of barbed wire attached to him, causing unimaginable discomfort.
Falkor’s transformation
The rescuers knew that removing it would require utmost care and expertise, so they brought Falkor back to Los Angeles to ensure a safe and delicate operation. There, using clippers and scissors, the barbed wire was safely removed.
Luckily Falkor had sustained no major injuries and once he had been check over, was groomed and bathed and cared for.
Falkor, named after the beloved Luck Dragon from “The Neverending Story,” possesses striking features that rival those of a Hollywood star.
