00:00When the war in Ukraine began and most people evacuated, Skye was one of the few animals left behind.
00:12At the same time, there were people who made the incredibly difficult decision to stay.
00:16Among them were these two local veterinarians who took the risk to help animals who desperately needed saving too.
00:21But it wasn't hard to imagine what he had gone through,
00:23given his poor living conditions and incredibly scary health state that he was in.
00:27He could open his mouth for years.
00:28He had no home and no family.
00:34Our new rescue dog, Skye, will have a very, very important day because today he will have surgery.
00:45And we hope so, hope so, that everything went well.
00:49When they found Skye, they realized he wasn't going to just need somewhere safe to stay.
00:53He's going to need an actual miracle to survive and successfully undergo a jaw reconstruction surgery.
01:09And after three years, he was finally able to open his jaw.
01:13Skye had to figure out how to use it again, how to move his jaw, how to pick up food,
01:17how
01:17and how to actually chew.
01:19Things that seemed so ordinary for other dogs became big milestones for Skye.
01:24And so every little bite is huge progress.
01:29Now he's well on his way to getting back every little piece of doghood he missed.
01:33Had to figure out.
