David and Valentina took her home. They made up their mind to nurse her back to health.

The couple watched over her, fearing that they would lose her.

"It was dreadful and we couldn't sleep. We were very scared that we would wake up and she'd be gone," Valentina told We Love Animals.

Sandy was appreciative of the affection and care the family gave her. It helped her move forward and fight for her recovery.

Both David and Valentina were impressed with Sandy's will to live.
