After taking a series of tests, the sweet pup was diagnosed with Leishmaniasis – an illness that affects skin, weight, and organs.

The vet advised them to put her down since the treatment was expensive, and there was no guarantee that it would help her.

The family immediately refused to euthanize Sandy, saying that it was never an option. They dedicated themselves to her care, hoping that she would fully recover.

Valentina was convinced that Sandy was never shown affection before. 

She and David cuddled her and showered her with love. Sandy became a part of the family. The pup felt safe and adored for the first time in her life.
