<div><p>What started out as an ordinary day for veterinary school student Adhara Talamantes, very quickly turned into anything but. The Mexican woman was on her way to school when she came across something that forever changed her life. </p><p>Lying on the ground was a disabled dog left behind to fight for her life. Almendra was born without her two-front legs so she had no choice but to drag herself around with her hind legs in search of shelter and food. </p><p>However, the open wounds along her body meant she would soon be unable to move. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/0fgjhs1vjoarsgskd-16fd11c6.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/0fgjhs1vjoarsgskd-16fd11c6_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/0fgjhs1vjoarsgskd-16fd11c6_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/0fgjhs1vjoarsgskd-16fd11c6_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/0fgjhs1vjoarsgskd-16fd11c6_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Adhara couldn't handle the dog's suffering and knew she had to act quick before the poor pup succumbs to her injuries.
