Foster parents Samantha Zimmer and her fiancé George Dix saw a post on Facebook about an injured dog and his best friend.
One of the dogs was hit by a car while the other stayed by his side, seeking help. Zimmer and Dix knew they had to help the injured dog, so they drove out to look for the dogs.
The couple drove for a while and were losing hope until they came across a smaller dog, Corey lying on the side of the road. Corey was waiting for help to come and rescue him and his best friend, Matthew.
Matthew, the injured dog, was lying in a ditch, crying in pain.
Meanwhile, his best friend Corey stayed by his side, and never left him for a minute. The two were rescued and transported to the vet facility.
Zimmer shared, “We secured Corey first and then went to recover Matthew from the ditch. The ditch was holding water, so we had to slide him up further on the bank to get him out safely. When we approached him at first, his breathing was pretty normal, and he was wagging his tail. We knew that he was grateful that we found him … It was a huge relief when we saw him wag his tail. We knew then that he was a fighter.”
Matthew clearly had a lot of injuries, but the couple was hopeful he would recover soon.
The doctors took good care of the injured dog and soon brought him back to health. After spending some time in the hospital, Matthew and Corey were ready for their foster homes and complete healing.
When Zimmer and Dix went to pick up Matthew, they were accompanied by Corey. The duo was excited to see each other again.
Zimmer added, “Matthew was so excited to see Corey. The moment he realized it was his bud Corey, he started wagging his tail. He wanted to get up and closer to Corey, so he was scooting. We had to get Matthew to sit down and relax. Eventually, they both settled in for a nap for the car ride to Matthew’s foster home.”
