Gas station employees at Marine Oil heard a dog crying out for help and witnessed a heartbreaking scene. When they looked closer, they saw a small dog lying next to the station, barely alive and in excruciating pain. He had undoubtedly been hit by a car four days previously, but nobody had intervened to provide assistance. He was in a bad state, and his leg was covered with maggots. Axl was given the name because of his Scandinavian looks and because his eyes seemed like those of a little arctic fox, despite his bad health.
Axl sobbed in agony but soon stopped when he received compassionate care. Initially, the rescuers took him to a hospital and begged for a painkiller. An IV line was placed after Axl’s blood was tested for numbers and type in case a blood transfusion was necessary. In addition to having a maggot infestation and being assaulted by ants, X-rays revealed that Axl had a damaged spine. To ease his suffering, the rescuers laboriously removed the ants and maggots one at a time. Axl seemed to be asleep, but the fact that food could stir him up indicated that he still had the will to live.
The rescuers were aware that Axl’s rehabilitation would be difficult, but they still had hope that he may survive if luck were on his side. Axl was receiving enough to eat and drink despite his condition, and he was improving. By daybreak, however, his condition had deteriorated more, and he now appeared downcast and pale. As soon as they discovered him, the rescuers took him back to the hospital for a blood test and blood transfusion. Despite unfortunate blood test results from when Axl was first saved, Sinead’s generous blood donation allowed for a successful blood transfusion.
Axl had already been taken back to the shelter after being released from the hospital to finish his recovery. The resilient little snow fox, as he finally became known, was now able to stand up on his own, indicating progress in his rehabilitation. Although he dreaded having to take his medication, he knew that it was necessary for his recovery. Even after he had completed washing, Axl grinned with delight at the attention he was receiving. Axl strengthened day by day, and the rescuers thought he was prepared to take his first steps once more.
The story of Axl is proof of the effectiveness of love and care as well as the tenacity of animals. Despite the pain and suffering he endured, Axl fought to survive, and now that he is being cared for by his rescuers, he is fully recovering. He emphasizes the importance of supporting those in need and standing up for animal welfare using his experience. Axl continues his rehabilitation while serving as a role model for others, demonstrating that even the most difficult situations can be overcome if one is committed and compassionate.
