“Give me a chance”! All she wanted was love, despite two broken legs
Rumba couldn’t stand.
Couldn’t walk.
She had two broken back legs and had no one to look after her.
Every day, she would look at strangers and wag her tail, hoping someone, anyone, would save her and give her love.
Time kept passing by, but nobody came. Her condition is deteriorating.
Finally, on the fourth day, a miracle happened and help came.
This is the story of Rumba and her fight for life.
This is the story of how pain, patience, and hope turned a forgotten soul into a miracle on four paws.

Abandoned With Broken Bones—And Still She Waited
The call came in quietly, like most do.
Just another stray, someone said. Just a dog that couldn’t move.
But when the Tears & Tails YouTube team arrived, they saw something far worse.
Rumba had been lying in the same spot for four days, her back legs broken, her wounds rotting, and the smell unbearable.
Someone had left food near her. But no one stayed.
She crawled in pain, looked into people’s eyes, and was ignored.
Until now.

Too Fragile to Operate, Too Strong to Give Up
Despite it all, Rumba wagged her tail.
She couldn’t stand. But she tried.
And that tiny movement shattered every heart in the room.
She was rushed to the vet.
Blood tests came back brutal—sky-high leukocytes, severe anemia.
Her kidneys were under pressure from an internal hematoma.
The X-ray revealed severe injuries, including fractures and dislocations.
Surgery wasn’t possible—not yet.
She had to stabilize first.
But Rumba? She kept eating. Kept trusting. Kept trying.

One Dog. Three Surgeries. Zero Complaints.
When the day of surgery finally arrived, it wasn’t one—it was three.
First, a sterilization to prevent pyometra.
Then, a spinal operation was performed to reattach her detached sacrum.
Finally, possibly a pelvic head resection down the line.
Most dogs would shut down.
But not Rumba.
She looked at her rescuers with soft, shy eyes, like a child learning what love feels like.
Maybe she had never known it before.
From Wheelchair Talk to Walking Through Grass
Just days after her operation, Rumba smelled chicken and walked out of her kennel.
On all four paws.
It wasn’t perfect. One leg still lagged behind.
But it was enough to bring tears to every eye in the room.
She went on to receive laser therapy.
Got used to leashes, city sounds, and affection.
Every walk was a victory. Every step, a miracle.
No more diapers. No more talk of wheelchairs.
Just a strong, shy girl learning how to live.

Rumba, the Sunshine in Fur
Rumba became everyone’s favorite patient.
She greeted vets with a tail wag.
Flashed her sweet eyes at every visitor.
She even started “mothering” two older male dogs at the shelter.
One month after her rescue, you’d never guess her backstory.
She was playful, loving, confident—everything she was never allowed to be.
She even had a follow-up visit with the vet team:
No more surgeries needed. Just continued rehab.
Her progress was so good, they said she might be perfect… for therapy work.

Her Final Chapter Begins… in Canada
And then the call came.
A kind woman, thousands of miles away, wanted to adopt Rumba.
To give her a forever home with love, nature, and even a view full of squirrels.
Today, Rumba is a Canadian citizen.
She plays, runs, cuddles—and lives like no one ever broke her.
This once-abandoned girl with broken legs is now running free.
