Pinky was living on the streets with her puppies when she was saved by folks who spotted her damage and took her in. The poor dog was clearly in pain, bleeding from the mouth, and having difficulty breathing. She was transported to the RRSA India animal shelter, which promptly realized the seriousness of her illness and hurried her to the doctor for treatment.

Despite her pain and discomfort, the mother dog remained exceptionally kind and gentle. As the rescue crew arrived, she waggled her tail and even kissed their hands as they attempted to inspect her jaw. To preserve the mother dog's life, the crew knew they needed to act immediately.

The mother dog was delicately hoisted into a carrier and sent to the RRSA India animal hospital. She was given antibiotics to treat the infection as well as pain medicine to alleviate her discomfort. The vets decided that the best course of action would be to wire the mother dog's jaw shut so that it could mend correctly.

The mother dog was kept at the animal hospital for many weeks, where she was closely observed and given the care she needed to heal.
