Cora the Poodle serves as a great source of motivation for many individuals. At a young age, she was involved in a terrible car accident which resulted in her suffering serious injuries including broken front legs, pelvis, and hips. Her condition was so severe that she was scheduled to be put down. However, Zach Skow, the founder of Marley’s Mutts, came across Cora and saw her fighting spirit. He decided to rescue her and immediately started her medical treatment. Despite facing doubts from others due to the amount of time and money he invested in saving Cora, Skow persisted. Today, Cora is a happy pup, which makes all of Skow’s efforts worth it in the end.
Cora was in a terrible condition with her bones completely shattered and an infection worsening the situation, leaving her unable to move. Despite the severity of her condition, Skow refused to lose hope and decided to save her. He went ahead with a $10,000 surgery to fix her bones. The expense didn’t matter to him as Cora’s health and happiness were his top priority.
Cora lost both her legs during the surgery, with the first leg getting amputated successfully, but unfortunately, the second leg couldn’t be saved. This left Cora with only two back legs and a tough road to recovery ahead of her. However, she refused to give up and fought hard to recover. At the beginning of her healing process, Cora was immobile and couldn’t walk. It took three long months for all her injuries to heal. The process was long and arduous, but in the end, Cora’s true personality emerged, and she learned to move just like any other dog. She was jumping, playing, and her tail was wagging joyously. Cora was thrilled to be alive.
Cora’s Fresh Start Following her recuperation, Cora was provided with her own customized wheelchair to aid her mobility. Nevertheless, she has now mastered the art of moving around independently without it. The charming canine can ambulate on her hind legs, occasionally hopping like a rabbit. While it might appear comical to some, it feels entirely normal to Cora.
The adorable Poodle, according to Skow, is a beacon of hope that illuminates even the darkest of times. Cora’s mere presence spreads joy and positivity wherever she goes, despite her difficult past and physical limitations. Skow admires how Cora lives in the present and makes the most out of every moment with unparalleled enthusiasm. “She never wastes a single moment, always living life to the fullest,” says Skow.
Frequently, Skow posts lovely pictures and videos of Cora on Marley’s Mutts’ social media platform. The followers are fond of her, and she has motivated many individuals to adopt dogs that require assistance. Her tail never stops wagging in every video. Every day, she expresses gratitude that Skow decided to offer her the life she deserved. Explore Marley’s Mutts on Facebook for more charming stories about Cora!
