Champ suffered a terrible injury and recovered beautifully! Viewer Discretion Advised.

- Today’s rescue video is so important to me. My dad (who passed away last year) was injured in a terrible accident when he was 17 years old and spent a whole year in a hospital bed. The doctors told him he would never be able to walk again, but my dad told them, “I will dance!”
Through hard work with physical therapists (67 years ago!), he was able to walk, tie his shoes with just one hand (the other was not functional), have six children, and live a long and healthy life. 😊
Like my dad, Champ also suffered a terrible injury (it's possible his leg got stuck in a machine, an electrical gate, or maybe he was hit by one of the trains passing in this area).
Rich Lujan, who reached out to Hope For Paws, informed me that after reviewing the security camera footage, he saw Champ at the refinery at 10 PM, walking on all four legs. However, by the time he found him at 5 AM, Champ only had three legs. 😰
I rushed to the location immediately and approached slowly - an injured animal can be dangerous!
Champ, like the champ that he is, allowed me to comfort him, secure him, and get him to CARES.
Our ability to do rescues like this completely depends on your support. If you can, please join us with a $5 recurring donation that will send us on many more rescue missions: www.HopeForPaw...
Champ's behavior throughout his recovery was absolutely amazing and inspiring. According to Google, between 1-2 million people go through amputations every year around the world! It's a traumatic event, and I hope Champ will inspire through his story and show how recovery and happiness are possible.
Please share this video with family and friends - we all know a veteran who was injured, someone who was seriously injured in an accident, or someone who lost a limb due to sickness.
The amazing team at CARES - an emergency trauma doctor, a board-certified surgeon, a rehab doctor, and, of course, the supportive team of technicians, all worked around the clock to help him fully recover.
The story doesn't end here - Champ is now looking for a foster home or a loving forever home. Our friends at Maison Sûre who receive our rescue alerts and notified me early in the morning to head to this rescue, will handle his adoption.

Thank you so much to all our supporters for helping us change his life!

If Rich was the guy in the hard hat, what a wonderful hero. And then Champ, once again showing us how lucky we are to have dogs in our world and also proving that the bully breeds are far from being monsters and way closer to being actual angels.
❣️
@@glen7228 ABSOLUTELY !!!❤️🐾
Yes, Rich is the guy with the hard hat. He stayed and comforted Champ while I got my car closer. 🙂
It’s the humans who are monsters 😢
May we Find More Mr Rich to help & Love Our Furbabies❤❤GOD'S BLESSINGS TO Mr Rich & family❤😘AMAZING Person & A Loving Soul❤❤
Heartbreaking in the start, but heartwarming in the end. What an amazing dog Champ is. Whoever is lucky enough to adopt him, is getting an amazing new family member. ❤💕❤
Poor baby! I started crying the moment I saw his injury. The pain he must have been in. Thank you so much for taking care of him and helping him recover. He'll be an awesome companion to some lucky family!
I felt the exact same way and had the exact same reaction.
Then, I cried happy tears at the end when he was running and playing like a true "Champ." ❤
"I'm not crying, you're crying!"
I can't believe he was hobbling with that injury and still wagging his tail. SMH What a brave dog.
I think he knew he was being helped. What a lovely, gentle dog he is and I hope he gets his forever home soon, although I did wonder at the end if that couple (I think Rocket's owners?) might end up with two dogs...
Oh my heart😢what an amazing dog Champ is. Having such a devastating injury, but still wagging his tail? Now, he deserves his name... Champ👏👏👏👏
Thank you to the guy who called so Champ could get the medical attention and care he needed, thank you to Hope fir Paws for everything they do to help all these animals
What a darling boy. Our boy is 11 now, but he showed up 9 yrs ago with a leg that had to be amputated from injury. He became ours then. I'll tell you, their resilience is amazing and NO time in recovery is spent in self pity.
Champ is young and will have a long, healthy life with people who adore him, HE WILL! 😊 thank you HFP for saving him and loving him. And thank you, Rich! They named him after you, no doubt!! ❤🏆❤🏆❤
To be so sweet and loving after so much trauma, this boy deserves the most beautiful and loving home possible.
Poor puppy, a lot of love will heal you. Thank you for saving him.
It's amazing that he survived that injury long enough to be rescued. Truly a Champ.
Seeing the worker care for that dog so much made me tear up, such a wholesome guy😭
This dog wanted to live so much! Animals are so resilient.
Such a sweet and active doggie ! So glad Rich had called Hope for Paws and they could help him live again ! Wishing he gets a loving home that he deserves 🥰🥰
Eldad and his team are so great. Please give to help save more lives like this. These animals are precious.
Thank you for rescuing this adorable and handsome fur-baby! I cried watching this, especially seeing the extent of Champ’s injury. You are his angel, Eldad!!! ❤❤❤. He’s so happy, I love it!!!
He is the most amazing dog I have ever seen, he is wonderful, brave, loving, if only us humans could be so forgiving as Champ is, just look what all has happened to him and he is still loving and kind, he is amazing
Poor baby. Thank you for saving this sweet little dog. He's absolutely gorgeous. ❤❤❤❤❤😊
What a handsome boy Champ is. So calm and gentle after all he went through. I am so glad to see he is recovering so quickly. His spirit was never killed. Thank you for rescuing and taking care of this sweet boy. God bless!
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a more aptly named dog than Champ. I really hope he finds the perfect home ❤
Pittys are some of the sweetest dogs imaginable. I hope he finds his forever home soon.
Champ you are an adorable and cuddly dog you have great strength of mind I really hope you can find a family to adopt you because you deserve all the good and love in this world a hug❤❤❤❤❤❤
The 💖and STRENGTH Hope For Paws has to be able to so caringly and lovingly take care of animals in all kinds of situations helping all they can is absolutely AMAZING! Can't thank them enough!
Thank you, thank you for supporting our efforts and for sharing our videos 🙂
Thank you for rescuing this beautiful dog. I hope he makes a full recovery.
I've been a very proud member of Eldad AND Teams rescue community for some years now and it's tremendously heartwarming to see where my donations go. Thank you guys for saving Champ's life. He really has the strength of a lion. Hope he finds true happiness soon.
Thank you so much Paul. I am honored that you, and other supporters are enabling me to go, day after day, and save these animals. Later today I will finish another video... also pretty sad with a dog who had almost given up as maggots were eating him alive, but we changed the course of life for that senior dog. Stay tuned for Milton's video. 🙂
It's absolutely INCREDIBLE that he survived such a horrific injury, never mind totally alone! Champ is the perfect name, it totally fits his personality. He's also extremely clever, knowing to go to people for help. He's incredible 🥰
This is why i love bully breeds! He was so sweet and trusted you! What a beautiful boy!
Hes such a sweet boy! Even through all the pain and trauma, not even a single growl 🥺❤️.
Give a like if you hate to see a poor pitbull like Champ being injured and for thanking a kind and generous man like Rich for helping Eldad on this urgent rescue mission.

Honestly was so scared for this dog at the beginning 😢😢😢. The way he wagged his tail when the vet staff were trying to weigh him made me breakdown. Dogs are so resilient and amazing. Thank you so so so so much for the work that you do and saving Champ! Also thanks to the people who called for rescue instead of just letting him suffer
On another note, a content warning for graphic content would have been nice at the beginning of the video for those with weak stomachs
I'm glad you managed to sit through it. I did add a warning at the title: Viewer Discretion Advised. This is the reality here, and the next video will be tricky to watch too... we really try to take on the hardest cases out there.
He did but I can understand if you didn’t see it. It was so disheartening. Thank God Champs ok!
Besides his horrific injury, he looked to be in great condition when found. He hadn't been out of a decent home for awhile I'd guess which is why I can't imagine someone wasn't looking for him. But the fact that no one came forward to claim him can only mean he must've been recently dumped on the streets. This is one very special dog, I hope that whoever gave up on him gets exactly what they deserve.
Gosh, I remember you posting about Champ in the community tab. Knowing he had his leg just the day before this… God, I can’t imagine what he was going through. Thank goodness you folks got to him. With any luck, he won’t have anything this horrible happen to him ever again.
This one got me in tears! His resilience is remarkable and seeing him wagging his tail and trusting people with a mangled leg is truly incredible. Thank God for Hope for Paws, he now gets to live and be taken care of. Bless you all!
he was still so sweet even through the pain. He'll make someone a great friend
Thank you and much love to Rich, who called for help and made it possible to save Champ"s life. ❤
Champ is happy to be safe and not in pain. Such a cutie. Thank you to the entire team who helped him.
The most precious and sweet boy the entire process! What a lucky dog to have been in the care of Hope for Paws ❤❤
Oh baby! He is so thankful to you all for giving him hope in his life that was so needed. Bless all your beautiful souls for saving one.🙏
Pitbulls are the most amazing dog on the planet. He had to be in excruciating pain, but was wagging his tail at being helped and cared for.
God bless you all for helping these precious animals. Champ is a beautiful and sweet dog. I hope that a good family will adopt him soon
I am so grateful for Hope for Paws. They are angels rescuing angels. ❤
What a terrible injury! This poor pup! Kudos to Rich for contacting you to help save this boy’s life, and comforting him while you situated your vehicle so that he could be rushed in for treatment. Please let him know, if you can, that his compassion and care didn’t go unnoticed.
This is another beautiful exemple of how resilient dogs are. If we humans had a wound like that, we would be crying and yelling out loud like crazy. He must had been in so much pain... poor thing. Thank you all for taking care of this wonderful dog.
Huge blessings to all involved in this wonderful rescue! Always rescue, foster, adopt!
🐾🐾💕
What a sweet boy. Champ is a perfect name for him. Thank you for saving him.

Dogs never cease to amaze me...and pitbulls have a special resilience that's unmatched...
What a great recovery...I hope he finds the best home...
Pit Bulls have very expressive eyes that melt your heart 🥹🐶❤️
Thank you to ALL the amazing people who helped champ from his rescuing, to his surgery, to his recovery. You all are amazing and may God bless you all greatly
He is so handsome and his eyes are so beautiful!!!!
Thank God for good people like Rich calling Hope fur paws, we need more people like this in the world. Champ is such a strong and goodest boy.
What an amazing dog. He needs the most wonderful forever home. He has a beautiful soul.
Dogs are so goddamn resilient. They're determined to just live in the moment. And every moment when there's no pain, but there's play and/or food and/or scritches and/or snoozles is a good moment. We can learn so much from dogs.
Thank you for caring for Champ.
Thank you Rich, for calling HFP before it was too late. Champ IS a champ, and he will be just fine. Champ has a beautiful spirit and will love his next adventure in his furever home.
The resiliency and pain tolerance of the breed is amazing. I'm crying watching this, and he just wagged his tail and made me cry even more. Thank you for being angels for this brave soul. 🐶❤️
His injury was horrific. Thank you for helping this poor guy recover and be happy again.
I cry when I saw what happened to his leg. I’m glad that he is happy and healthy now. I’m also happy that my monthly donation is helping him out. Thank you so much, Eldad and the team.
OMG! God bless Rich for calling you guys. When an animal is so badly injured, they can sometimes be aggressive when you’re trying to help them. However, Champ is clearly a very sweet dog and will hopefully find a loving home.
So Heart-breaking ! My admiration to those who gave help and love to the dog!
Aptly named this superhero dog. Gosh the dog must've endured so much pain. The guys at the refinery knew they needed a competent, extraordinary team of saints for the dog to have any chance of survival from the injury, this is why hope for paws became number one. Thanks for saving this dog definitely a champ❤🏴
When I heard that THWAP THWAP of Champ's tail wagging, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you to the Emergency vets and team for this fabulous rescue. blessings, gosh, I wish I could take her.
Poor doggy, happy he pulled through
And this video is why I support Hope for Paws every month. A Champ among Champions!
Thanks for saving Champ’s life. He’s a beautiful 🐕 with lots of ❤️ inside him. Very affectionate 🤗
God, how the poor thing didn't die from that. Hope someone adopts Champ right away. He has so much love & needs so much more!
"I want all the toys" 🐶 Champ is such a fabulous doggini. He deserves an amazing family who will play, run, and cuddle with him for the rest of his life. Thank you guys for all your hard work for him and all other animals going through such horrible situations.
What a champ. Thank you for saving another pup in need.
His will to live so strong. So glad he is on road to recovery. He’s so ready for his own Hoomin to love him so he can love them right back
Poor sweet champ but thank goodness HOPE FOR PAWS was there and this sweet heart is recovering. We love you HOPE FOR PAWS. DONATE,VOLUNTEER, ADOPT.
What a horrible injury! His suffering breaks my heart! Thank you for helping this poor dog and I pray moving forward he will have a wonderful family and a great life❤❤
Champ, you're so beautiful and perfect 🐾😍 Thank you Hope For Paws for rescuing him, nursing him back to health and giving a chance for a better life 🙏 ❤
This... THIS had me sobbing. I'm so, so very happy you were able to rescue Champ and get him patched up. He must have been in so much pain and fear but was still so sweet. He IS a champ! Thank you Eldad x
It NEVER ceases to amaze me how these injured or abused dogs recover their happiness so quickly 😮 Thank you everyone for rescuing him and giving him a chance of a better life 😢❤❤
You're definitely angels who walk among us. Thank you so, so much for rescuing and tending to these innocent babies. ❤❤❤
I can binge these videos for hours!
Such a sweet dog. Much thanks to all the people who worked with so much love to save this doggy.💙❤💚
Champ is so fortunate that Hope For Paws was contacted. Even for many pet owners the cost to save him and rehabilitate him would have been too much to be feasible. Thanks to all of the subscribers and supporters of this channel.
CHAAAAAAAAMMMMMPPPP!! What an awesome miracle dog. God bless Mr. Lujan, Eldad, Loreta, all the team who rescued and healed this beautiful baby. I wept at seeing his agony, then HAPPY TEARS at seeing his joy later after recovering. Thank you thank you thank you and THANK YOU to Eldad's father who surely must have helped them all in this endeavor. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for your help. xoxoxoxo
Wow. This reminds me of Jordan's awful injury. Been donating to you in my "real life" capacity (instead of my "online" persona) for years now...and will continue to do so for as long as I possibly can.
I mean, really, if you think about it, spending as little as $5.00 a month is _nothing..._ yet *collectively* it can make all the difference. $5.00..that's less than _one_ Starbucks...
And for those that can do more, please do. 🐾💟
You just gave me a great idea! I will add Jordan's video as a card to this video. Thank you so much for helping me help all these animals 🙂
@@hopeforpaws Thank YOU for all that you've done these many years...and all that you continue to do!
He's so happy that he's not in pain anymore❤❤😊
Thank you so very much for saving Champ. It really warms my heart to see how happy he has become.... thanks to you guys. God Bless you all.
Poor sweet fella...can't even imagine the pain. Big thanks for rescuing him, you guys rock 👍👏💪
AMAZING!!!! How he was is so much pain and the tail wag was instant!!!! Thank you Edgard for saving this baby and thanks to the whole team that fixed him up 💜💛
What a sweet boy. He just gave himself over to Eldad and the team. Dogs are so resilient and loving ❤
I'll admit I don't usually think of pit bull dogs as cuddly, but Champ has changed my mind. What a sweet boy and wonderful disposition, even with the severe injury he experienced. It's remarkable how well dogs can adapt to such a circumstance and make it almost seem inconsequential to their daily lives.
Oh my God this poor baby. Thank you to all the kind hearted people involved in saving his life.
Thank you for rescuing him Eldad & for allowing us to hear about your wonderful dad - I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing, sending you lots of love and a big virtual hug. I am sure Champ will get a loving home very soon, he's a wonderful dog...that injury looked horrific....what a brave boy🙏🐾🐾❤🩹
What a beautiful boy! I had to say goodbye to my staffy Champ in May 😢. I hope this Champ finds his forever home, he deserves it❤xx
Oh my heart was breaking to see him so badly hurt 😢😢 but then I had tears of happiness to see him at the end full of joy and playfulness ❤❤❤ such a beautiful dog too ❤❤❤❤❤
So glad Rich cared to reach out and save this sweet boy! Such beautiful eyes and a fun personality. Lovin life! ❤️
Let's all be like Rich. If we can't help on our own, let's call someone who can! Thank you for saving this sweet baby. I hope he finds a loving forever home. ❤😢
God Bless!! Champ♥️🐶🐕
Oh my...I cried throughout this whole vedio! Seeing Champ run, play and wag that tail is truly a Blessing. I am a Donor, best decision I've ever made...seeing how ya'll treat these precious fur babies is just so heart warming.
May God Bless you all.
Thank you so much Rich being a good man and calling in, I wish all the very best things for you. Champ I love you sweet boy, you are such a good dog - wishing you all the best from New Zealand.
I want to cry. Poor baby! Continued prayers for champ and for all of you there!
I can't get over how resilient animals are. Thanks for being there, Eldad & co. You're angels. 😇
Happy trails, Champ. 😚
Aww. What a sweet dog. He had such a determination, in spite of his injury. Great job you guys.
What a fabulous dog Champ is! I kind of wished Rich would adopt him, he really seemed to care about him ❤️
