Piache didn’t resist — she didn’t have the strength to. Her small body trembled as Maria carried her to the truck, whispering reassurances all the while, hoping her voice might offer a sliver of comfort amid the fear and confusion.
The drive to the animal clinic was long and tense. The hum of the engine filled the silence as Maria glanced back repeatedly, making sure Piache was still breathing.
Every minute felt like an eternity. When they finally arrived, the veterinary team was already waiting, prepared to do everything in their power to save her.
