With no transport and only a few rand to his name, Sello bought airtime, called every shelter he could find, and when the SPCA said they could help, he walked 15 km carrying her in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>The SPCA rallied for the pair, and through their compassionate community, raised donations to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/environment\/sello-option-free-state-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make a real difference<\/a> for the inseparable two.<\/p>\n<p>Option is receiving the care needed to heal properly \u2014 emergency vet care, X-rays, treatment for injuries, soft food, medication, and a safe place to stay for the next few weeks. Follow-up visits are covered, too. And when it&#8217;s time to return home, Option will be vaccinated, sterilised, microchipped, fed for the next 12 months, and kitted out with a brand-new harness, lead and tick-and-flea treatments for the year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-167923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sello.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1068\" height=\"1526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sello.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sello-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sello-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sello-768x1097.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The care has extended even further.
