Raisin’s eye was mutilated and the vet could not recover it. He had to take Raisin’s eye out and stitch the skin. Raisin was lonely and extremely thin for a 6-week old puppy. Werner from the rescue center said, “Everyone knew that the puppy could survive with human intervention alone, but we had hopes that she could have the mama she was missing.” Then they had an idea.
Hoping To Bring Them Together
Adoption agency put out a post, “Mama is having a hard time understanding that she is not actually a mom… We know she is struggling. An opportunity arose today to potentially make her a mama again. Is anyone willing to take them both for a few weeks?” It was Daya’s sheer luck that Raisin was a puppy needing motherly affection. But were they going to be receptive to each other?
Found A Home
Daya’s and Raisin’s foster mom, Katie Levans told The Dodo that as soon as she found out about these two dogs, “I came to Nick and woke him up in the middle of the night and said, “We’ve got to do something.” So they took both Daya and Raisin in. It was tough because Daya was emotionally broken and Raisin, physically.
Mini-Me
Raisin was a recovering puppy when she met Raisin, her foster mother said, “I mean the photo was one thing but then seeing her was another. I didn’t even see Raisin because she was so tiny.” But this was going to change, Raisin found a receptive and loving foster home. What did Daya feel? It’s all very visible in the video.
Motherly Instincts Rightly Directed
The foster mom said, “Daya was just immediately very receptive to the puppy. She just immediately started bathing her, licking her face and licking her ears. And when Raisin reciprocated that and started licking Daya’s face, we were done and we were like, “We know this is gonna work. This’ll be great.”‘ But this was not it, Daya was to leave… soon.
Healing Together
Daya was a loving mom, according to her second foster mother, “She was very maternal. She took Raisin right in.” Raisin was helping Daya heal. And Daya gave her all to Raisin, “Daya was very protecting and I think kinda proud of Raisin,” said the foster mom, but what was to happen when Daya left?
