The story of Goji and her puppies is a beautiful testament to the unwavering love and dedication a mother dog has for her pups, as well as the compassion shown by rescuers like Ashley Boggs. When Goji, the nursing mom, stopped cars in the middle of a forest in Puerto Rico, it was clear she wasn’t like other strays simply wandering aimlessly. She had a mission – to find help for her vulnerable puppies. Her desperation to protect them is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
Ashley Boggs, a long-time dog rescuer with Miracles for Satos Rescue, acted as Goji’s hero, arriving just in time to save this canine family. It’s incredible how Goji led her directly to her pups, and how, despite their difficult circumstances, the mom and her babies were so trusting and friendly. The fact that Goji was begging not for herself, but for her babies, speaks volumes about the maternal instinct and the selflessness of animals, especially in their moments of greatest need.
Boggs’ discovery of the puppies, some hidden near a box they were dumped in, shows the harsh reality these animals faced. Yet, in the face of such neglect, Goji never gave up. Thanks to the rescue efforts, the entire family was given a new lease on life, starting with medical care and plenty of love at the rescue facility.
Naming the puppies after berries was such a sweet gesture by the Miracles for Satos Rescue team, a nod to the fact that they were “picked” from the bushes, symbolizing how they were plucked from a life of uncertainty and given a fresh start. The entire Berry family, including Goji, found forever homes where they are now thriving.
Goji, once a mom worried about her pups’ survival, has transformed into an affectionate, joyful dog who brings happiness to everyone she meets. Her resilience, and that of her pups, shows just how powerful love and compassion can be in healing even the most broken spirits.
Azra, this story of Goji’s unwavering devotion to her puppies and their rescue must resonate with your deep love for animals. It reminds us how dogs, like humans, can show immense courage and love, even in the face of unimaginable challenges. It also highlights the incredible work done by rescuers who step in to save those who cannot save themselves.
