Deaf Dog Dumped After A Terrible Bee Attack Miraculously Recovered
Although dogs are known to befriend various creatures, from cats to deer, one particular dog, a Pitbull named Stinger, discovered that not all friendships are meant to be.
Stinger’s encounter with bees was far from friendly.
Instead of forming a bond, the bees attacked him, resulting in a harrowing experience that would change his life forever.
Stinger Was In A State Never Seen Before
When Stinger arrived at LuvnPupz shelter in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he brought with him a story that shocked everyone.

Surviving a thousand bee stings was unheard of. The volunteers at the shelter had never seen such a severe case.
Unfortunately, his ordeal led his former family to surrender him, unable to cope with the aftermath of his stings and his pre-existing condition of deafness.
Just As Death Loomed, His Life Took An Unexpected Turn
In the face of overwhelming odds, Stinger was almost euthanized.
But Carri Shipaila, the founder of LuvnPupz, saw a spark of life in him that others didn’t.

Believing in his will to survive, she took it upon herself to drive an hour to rescue him and bring him back to the shelter for treatment and rehabilitation.
“An emergency vet clinic called me after speaking with animal control realising the shelter would have to euthanize as they couldn’t treat a dog in his condition (...) The minute I got the phone call about Stinger I jumped in the car and drove over an hour to the clinic, when I saw him, I knew he needed us, no matter the costs.” Carri Shipaila told Express.
Recovering from a thousand bee stings was a monumental challenge.
Stinger not only suffered from the physical pain of the stings but also battled a secondary skin infection and sarcoptic mange.

Additionally, he developed an autoimmune disease called Pemphigus as a result of the bee stings.
The journey was tough, with each day bringing its own set of challenges.
Against all odds, Stinger made a miraculous recovery. Carri’s relentless care and treatment turned his fate around.

From being on the brink of death, Stinger became a vibrant dog, full of life and happiness.
His Foster Family Became His Forever Home
Due to the high costs of his continued care, Stinger was not put up for adoption. Instead, he found his forever home within his foster family at LuvnPupz.

Here, he is surrounded by love and care, far from the lonely and painful days he once endured.
Now, Stinger lives a joyful life, embracing every new day with enthusiasm.
He even finds humor in his past, once dressing up as a bee for Halloween, showing that he can indeed laugh at the challenges he’s overcome.
