Carla Abellana rescues dog ran over by a car in NLEX

Carla Abellana helped rescue a dog that was run over by a car along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).

On Instagram, the Kapuso actress posted a video of the dog recovering at the veterinary clinic.

Carla said that she was on her way home from taping last night when she witnessed the dog get run over.

"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," she said.

After pulling over, Carla grabbed her blanket and looked for the dog. She started to panic when she could not find him, so she asked Kuya Bong to get her a flashlight.

Carla's personal assistant, Anna, found the motionless dog on the shrubs.

"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," she said.

They took him to the floor of her van and she sat with him to make sure he stayed awake and warm. She placed her rosary on the dog's head and said a quick prayer.

"Along the way I just kept talking to him and telling him to fight. More like pleading. 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 chimken, 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," Carla said.

Fortunately, the dog had no broken bones and no internal damage to his organs.

"What a miracle indeed," Carla said. "I couldn't think of a name for him so I decided to just name him what I call all dogs—PUPPY."

Carla ended her post by writing, "Everyone, please please break for animals on the road. I am begging you. And if you could save a life, please do."

Carla has long been an animal welfare advocate. In 2020, she adopted two dogs from the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

Carla currently stars in "Widows' War" with Bea Alonzo. The series is directed by award-winning filmmaker Zig Dulay and airs weekdays at 8:50 p.m. on GMA Prime.
