Chole Aktins was on her way to work one morning when she drove past a field.
She saw a pony that was obviously suffering from several conditions, and Atkins knew she had to do something.
Aktins also saw two other ponies in the field that also seemed neglected, but it was obvious that the black-and-white pony was in the most serious condition.
Aktins realized how dire the situation was and immediately called relief organization World Horse Welfare.
“He was doing so poorly that that vet said to me, ‘Another couple of days and we think that he probably wouldn’t have survived,'” says Sarah Tucker, director of World Horse Welfare.
The organization wasn’t able to find Buddy’s owner, and rushed him to an animal hospital.
Luckily, Buggy was soon treated and quickly recovered. He needed to put on some more weight, but he was doing much better.
And after a few weeks got Buggy’s savior, Chole, visited.
It was a happy reunion, to say the least!
Watch the emotional reunion and see how Buggy is doing today in the video below.
Note: this video includes some disturbing images of Buggy’s wounds.
