Dog Comforts His Injured Friend Who Went Through Hell Just Like Him

Sammie, a 4-month-old boxer-mix, was being cared for by Simon, a border collie who was healing from his injuries. Simon’s paw was gently placed on Sammie’s.

Even though the two dogs were rescued weeks apart from one another, Simon appeared to understand precisely what Sammie was going through following surgery at Rescue Dogs Rock NYC.

“They met at the vet, and Simon immediately formed this beautiful animal friendship with Sammie,” Jackie O’Sullivan, co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC said. “He is protective of him.”

Sammie has endured terrible things. The unfortunate dog was shot in the head, spray painted, and dragged behind a car. Simon frequently inquires about his little, closest friend. Sammie still has a ways to go, but Simon will soon recover and be up for adoption.

“We are not sure yet [if Sammie will be able to recover fully] because he just had surgery,” explained O’Sullivan. “The vet needs two weeks to see if his leg can be saved. Infection is the biggest worry. He is at risk of losing 1 or 2 legs, but we are doing everything to save them.”
