As Guillaume Lefevre and Mathieu Letourneau passed the Siberian husky, now known as “Willow,” they were unable to tell if she was a wolf, coyote, or dog. But the pair pulled over, in contrast to other drivers who kept going.

Letourneau claimed, “I turned around and saw the dog just lying there, given up — scarcely moving. It was just starved to death and needed something warm.

The two men made a gentle approach to Willow and gave her the one item they had, a Subway sandwich. The surprised dog enthusiastically grabbed it off the stranger’s hand and devoured it.

Lefevre and Letourneau were astounded by how neglected the Siberian husky was.

She was in poor condition. She was covered with knots. She had muddy patches. She was unclean and odorous. She had the appearance of a dog who had lived outside all of her life.

Lefevre noted, “She looked like she got into a fight.

However, Willow was not a runaway dog who had spent her entire existence outside; rather, she belonged to a Coquitlam-based university student in his thirties.

After watching media footage, the owner’s neighbor recognized the dog and gave the BC SPCA a tip. Animal cruelty investigators believe they have enough proof to proceed with accusations of animal cruelty under the Criminal Code of Canada’s Criminal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

The small canine, who was believed to be between one and two years old, was discovered on Jan. 31 weighing only 15 kilograms, as opposed to the typical weight of about 24 kilograms for a dog of her age and breed.

According to BC SPCA officials, she most likely had another 24 hours to live. She is improving and is likely to make a full recovery with therapy and support.

She wouldn’t have survived for very long. When she was brought up, she was almost unable to stand, according to Eileen Drever, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA.

Another strange turn of events occurred. Letourneau had said to a friend that he hoped to adopt a rescue just hours before he saved Willow. He recently relocated to a new home that allows pets. Not only was the time excellent, but the breed wonderful as well.

In actuality, I adore huskies. Initially, I was looking for a husky-like dog.

With the BC SPCA, Letourneau is currently negotiating the adoption of Willow, but she must first receive medical care. Looking back, the couple expresses gratitude for being at the right place at the right time. Lefevre said they don’t frequently visit the area where they saw Willow; this was only their second visit to Maple Ridge.

Lefevre says, “I’m glad we gave her a second chance.

Letourneau said Willow might anticipate a future full of camping trips, hiking, and trips to the lake, to name a few, if the adoption is approved.

Letourneau claims that Whistler is “a paradise for dogs” since he calls it home.

Supporters of Willow are hopeful she finally experiences a little bit of heaven. This horrible event appears to have a happy conclusion.

Willow finally found her forever home in March after receiving extensive care in a foster home.

Dawn, Willow’s new owner, claims that she is doing well. She is happy since she has put on weight and her fur has grown back completely. She is currently eating only raw foods, which seems to be perfect for her sensitive stomach.

According to Dawn, Willow is incredibly loving and gentle and has a stunning tail. She claims Willow is kind of a couch potato who enjoys spending time with her family, her stuffed animals, and going for walks.
