Lucky Rocky
Rocky dashed through the door as his owner’s son was leaving the house. This was the first time he had run outside so his owner Jack ran after him to rescue him, but it was a little too late. He had already been run over by a bus. According to Jack, no one could have done anything in the entire scenario. His nose was bleeding horribly and everyone thought that they had lost him. The vets confirmed he had fractured his hips and would only recover gradually from it.
As such, when he stood up after three days and started moving, it was nothing short of a miracle for everyone. The vets have been left stunned at how he was able to bounce back from the accident just three days after a major operation.
Hence, the label for the world’s luckiest dog is seemingly apt for the little pup. He has a plate fitted around his hips and back and still needs to be a little careful while moving around. Owing to this, he is currently in the care of a relative until full recovery is made and he moves back to his loving home and family.

What to do if your dog is in a road accident?
While everyone takes utmost precautions when it comes to caring for a dog, accidents can happen anytime. Such emergency situations require quick action and thought, so the first instinct as soon as your dog is in a road accident is to relocate him to a safe place and not get panicked. If you get panicked, your dog will feel it too. A panicked dog may even bite or lash out at you, so be as calm as possible.
A road accident can have both external and internal injuries, so rush him to the nearest vet or a hospital to get him checked. Wrap the dog in a warm cloth or towel to provide him warmth and security as you take it to the vet. Additionally, to prevent such road accidents train your dog well enough for them to understand basic commands and not rush into such road accidents.
