He was reportedly hit by a speeding car, which resulted in a broken limb. Ryco lost so much blood due to the accident.

“So far, he is responding well to medications. Ryco is a very friendly dog. The swelling has also subsided a little,” said the organization. 

While waiting for his surgery, Ryco is now able to move around a little and mingle with some of the staff at the veterinary clinic where he is currently confined. 

“The vet team is doing everything that they can to ensure that he will be ready for his operation. Thanks, Doc Jun and the team!” said one of the Facebook posts of Hope for Strays Cebu. 

We will be praying for your fast recovery, Ryco!
