Later, when the pup’s name was changed to Leo, he was trapped inside a drain with a concrete barrier on both sides. The gutter had been sealed off with a hefty slab, making it impossible for the puppy to escape. With much effort, the rescuers removed the slab and rescued Leo from his predicament.

Every second, Leo’s head would drop down, revealing a tell-tale sign of epilepsy, brain injury, and neurological conditions. After receiving the emergency treatment at the shelter, Leo fell asleep immediately.

The volunteers began to worry about Leo after he had been sleeping for two days straight. On the third day, after being deprived of food for three days, he fought back and gained some strength. He was unable to stand or act rationally for many days afterward, which is not uncommon after a brain injury.
