00:00She'd actually just been poisoned was the information we were given from the community.
00:04Io and his team rushed to help this dog who had been poisoned and the first 24 hours were about
00:10doing everything that they could to keep her alive. Nobody knows who the villain of the story
00:15is here but let's just say we knew that she was in pretty bad shape. It was really really grim
00:22in the early days. On top of being poisoned she had broken a rib and was having trouble standing
00:27on her own. But this is why Niall is so wonderfully perfect for the job. He doesn't look at the
00:34negatives and hold on to any glimmer of hope. Trying to get espresso martini to walk again.
00:40Come on madam. Let's see you. Let's see you. We need to get your work done today madam. You're doing
00:47great aren't you? And for espresso it was that very faint but real tail wag. From there the recovery
00:55process started. It was endless hours by her side, cheering on and celebrating every tiny milestone.
01:08It's not easy darling isn't it? It's not easy but you're sitting up. There's your food darling.
01:16There's your food. Imagine you sitting up. Would you try and come up a little bit more?
01:21I mean the vets here really did so much. They were giving her physiotherapy. They were giving
01:27her electrotherapy. If you remember little espresso martini she's come in three days ago. She still
01:33can't walk but she's made some massive improvements. I've got her out here with a bit of food today
01:37and what we're doing is trying to strengthen her neck a little bit. And slowly that tiny progress started to
01:45amount to a lot. Then her back leg started working again and she would even try to test her strength
01:52by trying to stand on all four. Three weeks of relentless exercise, patience, and cheering her on.
02:02Her recovery is not over but it's clear that this is just the beginning and it will
02:03continue to be a little bit more.
02:04And then she took four tiny steps all by herself.
02:26Her recovery is not over but it's clear that this is just the beginning and it will
02:30only be good things from here on out.
02:33life starts and thenаю.
02:35And then I can't really care about her.
02:39You're not going to be good things to do.
02:39You're not here.
02:40You're not here.
02:42I'm not here.
02:46You're not here.
