The tiny dog waited by his injured friend’s side for hours. He barked anxiously and begged every passerby for help, but no one stopped.
The touching story of two homeless dogs, Marley and Murphy, is all about loyal friendship and integrity in the time of distress. We hope you've got tissues handy before you begin reading their story.
Marley, a black-coated German shepherd, was heavily pregnant when she got hit by a car near Muscoy, California. The poor dog was rendered immobile as she suffered several fractures and shattered bones. While the irresponsible driver sped off, Marley’s ally named Murphy refused to go away her side.
For hours, the brown-coated small dog waited nervously beside Marley’s dying body. He barked anxiously and begged every passerby for help. But sadly, many of us chose to ignore the plight of the dogs. The rescuers at “Dream Fetchers: Project Rescue” learned about Marley and rushed to the scene. Marley was breathing heavily by this point, therefore the rescuers quickly lifted her to the car. Murphy also jumped into the car and snuggled up to Marley to comfort her. The vet staff gauged that Marley’s condition was critical, so they arranged for her to travel into surgery. Murphy once more refused to go away his friend alone, and chose to attend by the table while she received her treatment.
Over subsequent few days, the hospital staff was amazed to witness Marley and Murphy’s close friendship. Murphy’s reassuring presence gave Marley the much-needed strength. She was significantly healed by the time she gave birth to 10 puppies!
The rescuers knew Murphy and Marley wouldn’t be safe on the road. With the shelter’s help, the two dogs and therefore, the puppies each found homes of their own. We’re so glad this ended well! We’ll always remember Murphy’s devotion and undying loyalty toward Marley! Click the video below to see Marley’s critical condition when she was brought in after the hit and run.
