All three were in dire shape. Fleas crawled across their fur so densely that they jumped off in waves. Their skin itched, their eyes looked weary, and their bodies trembled from exhaustion. It was clear they had been suffering for far too long.
The veterinarians quickly set to work.
One by one, the little family was bathed, scrubbed gently with warm water and soothing treatments that washed away the pests tormenting them.
Infinity and Beyond, who had endured it all while tied to that railing, closed her eyes and let herself relax for the first time in days, maybe weeks.

Her two little boys followed close behind, tumbling over each other in games that puppies were always meant to play. Each day brought new confidence, new laughter, and a little less fear.
Weeks passed, and their progress continued. The puppies grew stronger, learning to eat on their own while still looking to their mother for comfort.
Infinity and Beyond grew softer and more affectionate, her once-broken spirit mending with every gentle touch from her foster family. It was as if she understood she had been given a second chance, and she intended to embrace it fully.
