Rescuing Concha: A Tale of Love, Compassion, and Healing

Concha and Perez, it seems, had stumbled upon a lasting companionship – a bond that transformed both of their lives.

“Concha holds immense significance for us,” Perez confessed. “She’s reshaped our lives, just as we’ve brightened hers. I’m overwhelmed with joy that we could make a difference in her world.”

Three years ago, in a poignant scene unfolding near her Mexican residence, a woman stumbled upon a deeply moving tableau.

Near a park, by a fence, a lonely dog shivered. It was sad to find the dog alone, and it was even sadder knowing that the dog couldn’t see.

A more close examination unveiled the heart-wrenching truth – the dog was without eyes.

Regrettably, the woman couldn’t take the dog under her wing, prompting her to turn to the digital world for help. Posting an appeal on Facebook, she fervently implored for assistance and it was here that Mauricio Perez first encountered the plight of this abandoned dog.

“Without a moment’s hesitation, I set out to find her,” shared Perez. “She was emaciated, her skeletal form starkly visible.”

However, this marked the turning point – the juncture where everything began to change.

Perez gently cradled the fearful dog in his arms and brought her into his home.

“With the help of my girlfriend, we gave her a bath and then took her to the veterinarian,” recounted Perez. “The vet informed us that she wasn’t born without eyes, but had undergone some traumatic event, possibly an injury or untreated infection. Her past mistreatment remains shrouded in uncertainty.”

Despite being unable to restore the dog’s sight, Perez committed himself to mend her spirit.

Dubbing her Concha, Perez embarked on the endeavor of gaining her trust. “It was a journey,” reflected Perez. “We allowed her time to realize she was safe, gently caressing her daily until her fear began to dissipate.”

With the passage of time, Concha’s timidity waned, replaced by a sense of security and reliance.

Remarkably, the beacon of affection managed to pierce through the obscurity of Concha’s world.

Initially, Perez equipped Concha with a “halo” device to prevent collisions as she adapted to her new environment. However, she soon navigated her surroundings without it.

“She’s acquainted with every door and piece of furniture,” Perez shared. “She’s well-versed in the location of her food and water bowls. Her intelligence is astonishing. One would never fathom her lack of eyes.”

Moreover, Concha perpetually gravitates toward the warmth of human companionship.

“She thrives in human company,” Perez affirmed.

Three years passed since Concha was left to confront the world in solitude. Today, she’s a near-unrecognizable incarnation of her former self, an outcome attributable to Perez’s affectionate care.

“She’s thriving, content, and in robust health,” Perez attested.
