Danielle Collins Adopts Dog Rescued During Miami Open
When the American world No. 15 saw an injured dog lying in the middle of the road near Hard Rock Stadium, she felt that she had little choice but to intervene. Now, after finding veterinary care and seeing Crash’s health return, she has formally adopted her new canine companion.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Collins said that Crash is recovering having spent five days in hospital on oxygen support.
“His breathing is back to normal, his wounds are healing, and he is definitely enjoying all the love he is receiving,” the 31-year-old said. “He is curious, affectionate, and grateful for a second chance at life.
“It was so incredibly painful to witness a dog in so much pain after being hit by a car, and left in the middle of the road with so many people driving by his curled up body. I’m just grateful I was able to be there and get him the care he needed.”
