Bunica spent what may have been weeks, if not longer, roaming the streets alone with a massive tumor weighing nearly 6 kilograms.
Despite her obvious suffering, she kept walking—looking for help, hoping for a miracle. That help finally came in the form of a woman who saw her and decided to act.
Tracking Bunica wasn’t easy. The dog was scared and hesitant to trust anyone. She ran through fields, thick with bushes and thorns, making it nearly impossible to approach her.
The rescuer, determined not to give up, followed her nearly a kilometer and used a mild tranquilizer to calm her down.
At one point, Bunica nearly stumbled into a ditch while drowsy, adding even more urgency to the situation.
Eventually, the woman managed to catch her safely and rushed her to the vet. She named her Bunica, and the medical team quickly scheduled emergency surgery to remove the tumor.
It was a risky operation, but one that gave Bunica her only real chance at survival.
Two days later, the surgery was performed. The team waited anxiously for biopsy results, but the immediate priority was ensuring Bunica’s recovery.
Two months after being rescued, Bunica is thriving in a loving home. Her transformation is striking—not only in appearance, but in spirit.
The frightened, sick dog wandering the streets has become a calm, beautiful soul ready for a fresh start.
Bunica’s story is a powerful reminder of what rescue, patience, and compassion can do. She may have been forgotten by many, but one person’s determination gave her a second chance. Now, she has the future she deserves.
