Abandoned pup

[Cich Mind]

Good for you duanes ,
Kudos for saving that little girl. She's so cute. Looks like you're giving the best care possible and giving her lots of love. Enjoy the puppy stage as much as you can. Please follow up with us.

The mainland vet came to the island the other day, and made a number of island resident house calls.
She gave the pup its first set of shots, and next month would be back for a second round, one of which would be for species of Coronavirus.
I asked about it, she said it was a different Corona virus species, that affected a dogs gastrointestinal tract.
She also said she was bemused by the human variant vaccine hesitancy, because there have been corona virus vaccines for a number of years for dogs (and humans), and that adapting the already created vaccines for other Corona virus species, helped accelerate the process of developing a vaccine for Covid 19, that it was not overly rushed.

I love seeing senior dogs act like pups again when they are around young dogs. Congrats on your new girl and agree on the tinfoil hat holdouts on the COVID shots. I already got mine back in February due to working in the hardest hit sector the LTC sector. It’s amazing on how people are so distrustful of science. SMH

Mid Feb (as in the 1st pics in the thread) she was about the size of a hand.
She's come a long way since, now about the size of a large house cat.

Great save, Duane! She’s a good looking dog.

What a cutie! So does the pup have a name or does she still do by "pup"... Or did my dumba** miss her name?

Her name is Luna.
It was interesting, a couple weeks back, an official from the island came over and asked why Luna was still alive.
Confused we asked why that question?
Turns out around the same time other feral female dogs had given birth, and many islanders had acquired puppies, but most had died.
We showed the official, Luna's vaccination record.
None of the other islanders had given their dogs the normal vaccinations (distemper, Parvo, canine corona virus, etc etc).
