Known animal advocate Carla Abellana went out of her way to save an aspin (asong Pinoy) that was hit by a vehicle and left on the road with injuries.
Abellana narrated through her Instagram page on Tuesday, Oct. 29, how she immediately had to tell her driver to pull over after she witnessed a dog get run over along North Luzon Expressway.
“As soon as we managed to park safely by the side, I grabbed my blanket and just ran for my life on the side of the road, looking for the hit-and-run victim,” she recalled, adding that she was not able to find the dog right away.
“Thankfully, a few moments later, Anna (my Personal Assistant) found him lying on the shrubs, motionless. He was skin and bones, appeared to be very young and a bit cold to the touch,” she continued.

Upon seeing that the aspin – whom the actress named Puppy – was still blinking, Abellana rushed to put the dog in her van and head to a vet hospital for its injuries to be attended to.

More like pleading,” she stated. “When we arrived at the 24/7 Vet Hospital, I made sure he got attended to immediately.”
“God gave us another miracle last night when the Vet came out and said, ‘Ang lakas niya! No broken bones,'” she continued. “His x-ray results showed no fracture, no broken bones, no internal damage to any of his organs. What a miracle indeed.”
Abellana then concluded her post by making an appeal to the public.
“Please, please break for animals on the road. I am begging you. And if you could save a life, please do,” she said.
