<p>Carla Abella has rescued a dog hit by a car along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).</p><p>&quot;On my way home from taping last night, we witnessed an aspin get run over along NLEX. Yes, in the middle of NLEX. The crying of the aspin broke my heart. I had to beg Kuya Bong (my Driver) to stop right away.  I couldn’t just leave him/her there- alive or not.&quot; she shared on her Instagram page.</p><p>The actress relayed that they initially had a hard time locating the dog on the road.</p><p>&quot;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. We couldn’t find him/her and I was starting to panic,&quot; she recalled.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBscER8vkDg/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A2189604.4000000358%2C%22ls%22%3A454228.8000000119%2C%22le%22%3A454990.7000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Carla and her companions then started searching for the dog in the shrubby area of the road.</p><p>&quot;I asked Kuya Bong to get me a flashlight and we started focusing on the shrubby area by the side of the road. The aspin was still nowhere in sight. Thankfully, a few moments later, Anna (my Personal Assistant) found him laying on the shrubs, motionless,&quot; she said.</p><p>The actress then rushed to the <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">veterinary</span> hospital after finding the dog.</p><p>&quot;He was skin and bones, appeared to be very young and a bit cold to the touch. But he was still blinking. That’s when I knew we had to move quickly to bring him to the nearest 24/7 Vet Hospital,&quot; she said.</p><p>Carla further narrated that she made sure that she was constantly communicating with the dog for the latter to stay awake as they were in transit to the hospital.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBdNiKxP_H2/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A2255823.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A454228.8000000119%2C%22le%22%3A454990.7000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;We [laid] him on the floor of my van, covered in my blanket, and I sat on the floor with him to make sure he stayed awake and warm. I grabbed my rosary, laid it on top of his head and said a quick prayer. Along the way I just kept talking to him and telling him to fight. More like pleading,&quot; she shared.</p><p>&quot;His blinking was slowing down and he still wasn’t moving at all. I just kept rubbing his head and ears, assuring him that if he keeps fighting he’ll be eating so much chicken, rice and even steak with us. I also told him he was such a brave boy because he managed to drag himself off the road.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/9/24/carla-abellana-bares-battle-with-hypothyroidism-1021"><strong>READ: Carla Abellana bares battle with hypothyroidism</strong></a></div><p>Carla remarked that after the veterinarian attended to the dog, the findings were positive.</p><p>&quot;When we arrived at the 24/7 Vet Hospital, I made sure he got attended to immediately. He weighed only a little over 7kg, had such a gentle demeanor and a cute face. I could see his wounds at that point. God gave us another miracle last night when the Vet came out and said, &#x27;Ang lakas niya! No broken bones.&#x27; His x-ray results showed no fracture, no broken bones, no internal damage to any of his organs. What a miracle indeed,&quot; she said.</p><p>Carla named the dog she rescued Puppy. &quot;I decided to just name him what i call all dogs.&quot;</p><p>Carla then shared a reminder to drivers sharing: &quot;Everyone, please please [brake] for animals on the road. I am begging you. And if you could save a life, please do.&quot;</p>
