A man named Sean McCormack is an animal rescuer who founded a Taiwan-based animal rescue organization called Animals Taiwan. Sean has devoted his life to rescuing animals and also finding forever homes for them. Through his efforts, he has saved countless animals across Taiwan.
One of the most memorable rescues he did was for a wounded dog named Sandy. Sean learned about Sandy from a woman who sent Sean a photo of Sandy who appeared to have bad injuries on his front paws. Sandy’s injuries were because of a snare and the woman was worried that the puppy wouldn’t live much longer without any help.
As soon as Sean learned about Sandy, he started making plans to rescue her. However, Sean learned that the location to where Sandy was spotted was inaccessible to drive. He needed to hike up to the guest house so he could rescue the injured pup.
Unfortunately, Sean didn’t have any experience hiking at all and he knew that it would be an arduous journey. So, Sean enlisted the help of his friend named Ross Tweedie. Ross is an experienced hiker and he also co-owned Taiwan Adventures. Thankfully, Ross agreed to help Sean to guide him throughout the hike.
The hike was brutal and it was a hike that wasn’t graded for beginners. Sean considered giving up during the hike but the thought of Sandy being alone and dying pushed him to keep going. Eventually, Sean and Ross reached the guest house and started searching for Sandy.
Sandy was nowhere to be found. They kept looking and when they came across a stack of plastic chairs, that’s when Sean found Sandy who was hiding underneath the stack of chairs. Despite meeting Sean for the first time, Sandy was so friendly and allowed Sean to pat him on his head.
It seems like Sandy knew that Sean was there to help him. Sandy even rested his head on Sean’s lap and allowed Sean to treat his injuries. After putting a dressing Sandy’s injuries, Sean and Ross put Sandy in a backpack and started the hike back.
Sandy’s injuries were eventually treated and by the time Sandy’s story went viral on social media, a guy named Bob reached out to Sean about fostering Sandy. Bob and his family fell in love with Sandy and after a few days of fostering Sandy, they contacted Sean telling him that they wanted to adopt Sandy for good.
Sean couldn’t be happier for Sandy. Sean’s glad that Sandy finally found a family that would take care of him and gives him plenty of attention and love for the rest of his life. Here’s a heartwarming video showing what Sean had to go through to save Sandy’s life.
