A couple of years prior, there had been a particularly bad winter in Romania. She had laid sheltered under a park bench. (Much of this part of the story I have copied from their website)

A huge block of ice, weighing tens of kilograms fell from the fourth floor crushing the bench with Snow underneath. It would have killed her for sure if it hadn't been for the bench in the form of the block that diverted the direct blow.

The pictures show the force of the impact: the wooden bench was destroyed. It was a miracle that the poor dog survived at all.

The extent of the injuries was terrible: pelvic fracture, disrupted hip joint, broken femur.

Following surgery in one leg, a lengthy and difficult healing of the broken pelvis kept her for months in the Speranta shelter.

A very discrete presence, Snow endured the painful period of recovery.

This happened only partially as one leg never regained walking capacity.

But just as with many other dogs who lost a limb

following accidents, it does not prevent her from being a beautiful and almost normal dog.
