Tiny Stray Puppy Plummets From The Sky And Miraculously Survives
Construction workers at a site in Round Rock, Texas, were caught off guard by an unexpected sight.
As they began their day, they heard crying and searched for the source. To their astonishment, they looked up to see a hawk gripping a tiny Chihuahua in its claws.
Moments later, the bird dropped the puppy, and the workers quickly rushed over, taking the injured pup to an emergency vet clinic without hesitation.
The Pup Miraculously Survives
The workers hoped the tiny pup would be okay.
After an examination, the vet found that the little Chihuahua had only minor wounds from the hawk’s talons, and miraculously, no serious injuries.

A scan revealed he didn’t have a microchip, and when no one came forward to claim him, the puppy was sent to the Austin Animal Center for further care.
The shelter staff welcomed the sweet puppy, who was estimated to be just six weeks old.
Despite his ordeal, he quickly stole their hearts, earning the nickname “Miracle Puppy” due to his incredible survival.

“When I met this little puppy not long after he came into our shelter, all he wanted was to be held. He was hooked up to an IV for fluids, but despite that, he kept trying to walk to the front of his kennel to get to me. I snuggled him as much as I could, being careful of his IV. He’s really just a sweetheart,” said Jennifer Olohan, communication and media manager for Austin Animal Center, to The Dodo.
Thankfully, the vet confirmed that the pup had no internal injuries, and he was on track for a full recovery.
Finding A Forever Home For Tony Hawk
The shelter soon contacted one of their trusted foster parents, Renee Bonifay Keyes, who happily agreed to take the little pup into her home.
Her son affectionately named the puppy Tony Hawk, inspired by the pro skateboarder, since the tiny canine had miraculously survived a fall from the sky.

With the love and care of his foster family, Tony quickly recovered. His foster mom received numerous adoption applications, but she was determined to find the perfect forever home for him.
At the same time, Georgia Bramhall and her family were grieving the loss of their Chihuahua, Bentley, who had gone missing a few months earlier.
