I feel profound sadness imagining the agony dogs endure when heartless owners abandon them. In a moment, these loyal companions are deprived of all they hold dear—the cozy warmth of a home, a sense of belonging, and the steadfast love of the humans they trust above all.
Indah, a kind and courageous mother dog, was overwhelmed with grief when her owner abandoned her and her newborn puppies at a local market’s garbage dump. Deeply concerned for her fragile, starving pups who depended on her milk to survive, she had no choice but to scavenge through discarded waste. Eating the garbage was her desperate attempt to sustain herself and continue nourishing her little ones.
A Call For Help

At the busy market, the mother dog would approach passersby, pleading for help, only to be shooed away as people misinterpreted her desperate cries as signs of aggression.
Nearby, local children noticed her distress and wanted to offer aid. However, the dog barked continuously, unsure whether to trust them. Realizing they were unable to reach her, the children eventually contacted a rescue team.
When the rescuers arrived, they encountered the sorrowful canine, who remained cautious and refused to let them come too close.
Their hearts ached when they discovered that the frightened dog was merely a protective mother, hiding her newborn puppies in the garbage dump. The rescue team fed the cautious mama, eventually winning her trust and naming her Indah.

Convinced of the rescuers’ kindness, Indah allowed them to take her puppies—whose eyes remained closed in sleep. A profound relief filled her heart as she realized she and her little ones were no longer alone. The caring rescuers gently stroked the brave mama, and she basked in the warmth of their affectionate touch.

The rescue team transported Indah and her puppies to a veterinary clinic for a thorough check-up. The vets estimated that Indah was between one and one-and-a-half years old. They diagnosed her with scabies, noted that she was underweight, and observed ticks covering her body. During the examination of her abdomen, they discovered that she had been eating garbage to survive. Fortunately, surgery was not required, though both the rescuers and the veterinary team were deeply saddened that Indah had to resort to scavenging trash in order to keep her puppies alive.
They marveled at the endless devotion she showed toward her puppies.
