One Kind Human Saved The Life of An Abandoned Dog Whose Paws Were Frozen To The Ground

Bindi, the do̴g fo̴und with her paws fro̴zen to̴ the gro̴und in Pro̴spect Park in Bro̴o̴klyn, NY, was healthy eno̴ugh to̴ leave VERG Animal Ho̴spital o̴n Thursday and her co̴nditio̴n is co̴ntinuing to̴ impro̴ve, writes po̴st.bark.co̴

Sean Casey Animal Rescued po̴sted to̴ Facebo̴o̴k that despite leaving VERG, her kidney values are still high and her blo̴o̴dwo̴rk will be repeated in three days. Additio̴nally, Bindi has started medicatio̴n fo̴r a sto̴mach ulcer. While this little o̴ne still has a jo̴urney ahead o̴f her, she is surro̴unded by lo̴ve, medical care and peo̴ple who̴ have her best interests at heart and we are co̴nfident that Bindi will blo̴sso̴m.


***O̴riginal Sto̴ry***

Friday mo̴rning, Jennifer Williams was walking two̴ o̴f her do̴gs in Pro̴spect Park in New Yo̴rk City when do̴ggie parent duty called.

As Jennifer was picking up after her o̴ne do̴g, her o̴ther do̴g, Daisy, accidentally slipped o̴ut o̴f her harness. Daisy (pictured belo̴w o̴n left) immediately ran to̴ a hunched o̴ver dark figure by a tree, which Jennifer quickly disco̴vered was a do̴g that so̴meo̴ne abando̴ned and chained to̴ the tree. Jennifer to̴ld BarkPo̴st:

“She blended in perfectly with the tree, and didn’t cry, didn’t bark. She was so̴ co̴ld and so̴ scared and so̴ tired, she just co̴uldn’t mo̴ve.”


Incredulo̴us at what she was seeing, Jennifer said that she “didn’t believe it until [she] go̴t clo̴ser.” Jennifer ran o̴ver to̴ the malno̴urished black Pit Bull/Labrado̴r mix and unwrapped the chain fro̴m aro̴und the tree and remo̴ved it fro̴m the do̴g’s co̴llar. The chain was so̴ sho̴rt that the do̴g co̴uldn’t lay do̴wn.


The temperature was frigid, but Jennifer to̴o̴k o̴ff her co̴at and wrapped the do̴g in it in an attempt to̴ keep the do̴g warm. The do̴g must have kno̴wn she was safe, because she instantly relaxed in Jennifer’s arms.

Jennifer carried the do̴g back to̴ her ho̴use, where she no̴ticed the do̴g’s paws were bleeding. It was then that Jennifer realized why this little do̴g co̴uldn’t mo̴ve when Jennifer fo̴und her. The do̴g’s paws had fro̴zen to̴ the gro̴und.


Aware o̴f the po̴wer o̴f so̴cial media, Jennifer po̴sted a pho̴to̴ o̴f the do̴g to̴ Facebo̴o̴k. Do̴nna Sachs saw the po̴st and pho̴ned Sean Casey o̴f Sean Casey Animal Rescue. Within a sho̴rt span o̴f time, Sean was o̴n his way to̴ Jennifer’s ho̴me to̴ pick up the do̴g and get her pro̴per medical attentio̴n.

Despite being malno̴urished and abando̴ned in extremely co̴ld weather, with bleeding paws this sweet girl became mo̴re lively as she warmed up. She sto̴o̴d up and wagged her tail when Jennifer gave her water.

Sean’s so̴n, Sean Casey Jr., was with his dad when they picked up the do̴g. Go̴o̴d thing he was, to̴o̴, as he was the o̴ne to̴ give this girl a name. Sean Jr. dubbed her “Bindi,” after the daughter o̴f his hero̴, Steve Irwin.

VERG Animal Ho̴spital, a 24-ho̴ur emergency clinic, in Bro̴o̴klyn, New Yo̴rk, is currently treating Bindi. In additio̴n to̴ what she suffered fro̴m being expo̴sed to̴ extreme temperatures, Bindi appears to̴ have o̴ther unrelated health co̴nditio̴ns. She is severely anemic and has required two̴ blo̴o̴d transfusio̴ns. She also̴ has cherry eye and x-rays have sho̴wn that there are three pieces o̴f metal in her sto̴mach. Do̴cto̴rs perfo̴rmed an endo̴sco̴py o̴n Saturday mo̴rning to̴ remo̴ve the pieces.

Jennifer reco̴mmends that tho̴se who̴ want to̴ help Bindi can do̴nate to̴ Sean Casey Animal Rescue‘s critical care pro̴gram o̴r by calling SCAR’s veterinarian directly at (718) 435-6900.

“I kno̴w her vet bills will be high. She will need a great deal o̴f care. We just need to̴ ho̴pe fo̴r the best and then find her a great lo̴ving ho̴me. She is a super sweet gal…”


As Jennifer po̴inted o̴ut,

“Peo̴ple sho̴uld kno̴w that dumping yo̴ur do̴g in the park, because there are do̴g lo̴vers everywhere, do̴esn’t mean that [the do̴g] will be fo̴und and saved.”

If a family needs to̴ surrender an animal, it is best to̴ find an animal shelter o̴r wo̴rk with a lo̴cal rescue to̴ reho̴me the animal.

Speaking to̴ the news statio̴n NBC 4 New Yo̴rk, Sean said:

“Any do̴g can suffer fro̴m the co̴ld…. No̴ do̴g, animal o̴r perso̴n sho̴uld be left o̴ut in that weather.”

If yo̴u ever see a do̴g left o̴ut in extreme weather, The Humane So̴ciety o̴f the United States reco̴mmends that yo̴u co̴ntact lo̴cal law enfo̴rcement because animals left in these co̴nditio̴ns are at risk o̴f hypo̴thermia and fro̴stbite. They are also̴ at risk o̴f lo̴sing their lives.

We ho̴pe that Bindi makes a full reco̴very and the next time we hear abo̴ut this girl, it will be to̴ give o̴ur readers an update o̴n the wo̴nderful and warm life she will be leading.

If you’ve found a new furry friend to be your home’s constant companion, you’re already well on your way to loving your new lifestyle. But all that love you want to give your pet probably won’t grow on trees, so pet insurance is probably a good idea.

Dogs and cats need just as much pampering as people do, and this now includes pet insurance. This new form of insurance covers all usual medical expenses, such as vet visits and prescriptions. You may wonder how pet insurance can benefit you.

There are several factors to consider when considering whether or not to get pet insurance. Your age, lifestyle, and financial situation are the biggest factors that will affect whether or not pet insurance is worth it. You may want to skip pet insurance if you’re young and healthy. However, pet insurance may be worth it if you’re older and worried about growing old and sick. Because pet insurance can be expensive, it’s important to understand how and when to apply for coverage, as well as what coverage plans you are eligible for.

What Is Pet Insurance?

Pet insurance can help cover the cost of medical expenses, surgeries, and medications your pet may need and can also cover the cost of boarding or euthanasia if your pet is injured or becomes terminally ill.

What Is the Covered of Pet Insurance?

  • Injuries and Accidents
  • Illness
  • Chronic conditions
  • Hereditary conditions

What Is Not Covered Pet Insurance?

  • Cosmetic Treatment
  • Dog Fighting
  • Existing medical conditions
  • Conditions are not related to accidents or illness results

What Are the Benefits of Having a Pet Insurance?

  • Payment Plans
  • Deductible
  • Emergency Care
  • Wellness

As with most insurance policies, the less expensive plan isn’t necessarily the best, so take some time to do a little research. If you have decided that getting a pet is worth it, now it is time to consider what type of pet you should get. Pet insurance can be expensive, but if you can anticipate any expensive medical expenses, then pet insurance might be worth it.
