The two deformities in her front legs and the noticeable limp in another, add weight to the theory that this is what most likely happened to this poor dog who is\u00a0barely over a year old. When these cruel individuals decided to throw the young dog\u00a0out of their car in the middle of the busy A-7 near Silla, they could only assume that if the impact of the fall did not kill the dog, rolling into the non-stop, oncoming traffic would clearly prove fatal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">But Atena is much stronger than this awful act of evil and luckily for her she has angles on her side, the individuals responsible for her rescue.\u00a0These are the\u00a0people who will ensure her story has a happy ending. In the following video, I will tell you the story of Atena, her rescue and recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jyrN7H8Tf38\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Her angels\u00a0are Michel Nebon, the tireless rescuer who <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lasprovincias.es\/almasconpatas\/2015\/05\/19\/el-rescate-de-kempes\/\" target=\"_blank\">had rescued Kempes<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lasprovincias.es\/almasconpatas\/2015\/10\/06\/seis-cachorros-en-una-tuberia\/\" target=\"_blank\">six puppies stuck in a pipe<\/a>.

After putting food inside the cage, you wait until the dog enters. Via the remote, a signal is then sent for the cage door to close. Carrying out this operation safely is all a matter of patience. Michel waited for TWO HOURS in order to get the dog into the cage without causing her undue distress. As Michel\u2019s dog rescue work is only his hobby or more accurately, his passion, those two hours were from his free time. Michel does all his rescue work in addition to his normal working hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/almasconpatas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/04\/94b827f9-a40e-403e-aeda-57119bc8bf461.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-305\" title=\"94b827f9-a40e-403e-aeda-57119bc8bf46\" src=\"\/almasconpatas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/04\/94b827f9-a40e-403e-aeda-57119bc8bf461.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static-blogs.lasprovincias.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/04\/94b827f9-a40e-403e-aeda-57119bc8bf461.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static-blogs.lasprovincias.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/04\/94b827f9-a40e-403e-aeda-57119bc8bf461-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/static-blogs.lasprovincias.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/04\/94b827f9-a40e-403e-aeda-57119bc8bf461-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Michel has also spent a small fortune of his own money in carrying out rescues.
