Earlier this year, a disturbing event occurred on a beach in Hawaii when an unfamiliar attacker buried a dog alive with a machete. This tragic story now has a positive outcome as we give you some heartening news about the dog, Leialoha, who has finally found comfort in the loving care of a committed foster family.
On the shores of Oahu, a tragic incident occurred and was witnessed by a passerby who quickly reported the situation to PAWS of Hawaii. Their immediate action led to a rescue mission to aid Leialoha, who was found in a devastating condition. She had severe sunburns, numerous sores covering her body, almost no hair left, and wounds on her legs. The rescue team acted promptly, taking her to Aloha Affordable Veterinary Services for urgent medical attention.
A couple named Amanda Krasniewski and her husband, who have a knack for rescuing animals, have become experienced foster parents. They have taken the responsibility of caring for a dog named Leialoha, who was in dire need of help. The Krasniewskis were drawn to fostering after adopting their dog Mocha while on vacation in St. Croix, and have since opened their hearts and home to twelve other dogs prior to Leialoha. When PAWS of Hawaii posted a plea for assistance on social media, Amanda promptly responded by offering the much-needed care and compassion for Leialoha.
The first few days were quite challenging for Leialoha. She was grappling with both physical and emotional scars that had resulted from her ordeal. Her journey towards recovery was fraught with difficulties, which caused a lot of worry and concern for Amanda. At that time, Leialoha’s condition was quite swollen and painful, making it even more challenging to nurse her back to health. Despite this, the dog’s resilience started to come to the fore, which gave Amanda a ray of hope.
The Krasniewski family spent a lot of time with Leialoha, providing her with the necessary support and companionship. As time passed, the puppy’s confidence grew, and she became more playful, like most pups. In a short span of two weeks, Leialoha’s personality flourished, and she began to enjoy life, playing, fetching, and taking naps for comfort.
The Krasniewski family had originally planned to adopt Leialoha, a dog from the Big Island. However, fate had different plans when their other dog became sick, and Leialoha came back into their care. It was clear that she had found her forever home with them. Nowadays, Leialoha is healthy and happy, thanks to the love and care she receives from Amanda and her family. She is full of energy and loves to play and seek attention. Leialoha’s journey is a testament to the incredible resilience and capacity for love within all living beings.
