Wringle is among the litter of 5 puppies that are born in a construction site on August 1, 2011. When they were about a month old and started to roam around without the supervision of their mother, we sprung into action & put them up for adoption on 2 websites. Very quickly, three of the puppies were taken up by good homes by mid-September. It was left with Wringle & Dot – the only 2 black colored puppies that nobody seemed to take a fancy to.

Over the next month, 3 different families fostered both of them. They were also given their first vaccination to immune them against deadly canine diseases. Soon, this pair of brother and sister grew to become inseparable.

They are so lovable in personality but it is a pity that many of us cannot see beauty beyond the exterior. So when there were still no takers for them by mid-October, we had to put them back to the construction site to learn survival skills from the adult dogs as it is highly probable that they would not be adopted at all.

Three days later on October 13, something bad happened to small Wringle. Someone kicked him. The attacker hit him so hard that his whole face was swollen & he was bleeding profusely from the nose. By the time we discovered him in the evening, he was already ebbing away, struggling and gasping for air. He tried to stand up to greet us and wagged his tail a little before he collapsed. We quickly rushed him to the vet and from the inspection of the injuries, it was confirmed to be a case of abuse.

The vet gave Wringle a negative prognosis – his jaws were fractured and dislocated; his canine teeth were gone; he was bleeding internally in his head; his vision was lost too. The next 24 hours would determine whether he could survive or not. And even if he survived, he would have to go through a costly and extensive surgery to repair the jaws and deal with the internal bleeding.

Nonetheless, there was just no peace in our heart to say “Yes, put him to sleep” to the vet. We looked at Wringle who was already losing consciousness but yet his expression told us that he wanted to live. We prayed and sought God’s guidance in our hearts. After 10 minutes, we informed the vet of our irrational decision to save him. The peace that came upon us was amazing. We literally sensed God telling us that He was pleased with the decision.

From that point onward, we refused to turn back. Daily the fosterers took turns to visit him and laid hands and prayed in tongues. We also stood in proxy to pray at our Miracle Services. All of us prayed for his sight to be restored. We asked God to mend his jaws and renew his brain function. During the first few days, Wringle cried in pain and struggled to stand and walk though he could not see and kept knocking onto things. He also had to be tube fed for 2 weeks as he could not eat or drink through his mouth.

But he was a fighter. The improvements Wringle made were amazing. Day by day, God showed the reality of His healing power even on this puppy. His jaws were operated on and recovered. Although his face is a little lopsided now, he looks as adorable. He also has some good teeth left that enable him to eat food. During the period whereby he was totally blind, Wringle relied a lot on his hearing for direction – that is why you see both his ears standing straight up after the incident.
