Danielle Collins adopts the injured dog who saved Miami Open

His hopes for Miami Open could be finished, but Danielle Collins leaves Florida this week with a friend for life.

Collins, the world number 15, was beaten by Aryna Sabalenka on Monday while the American hopes to retain the title of Miami Open ended.

But the 31 -year -old’s mind may have been elsewhere after finding a dog injured two days before while he left the hard rock stage.

Collins found the dog curled in the middle of the road after he had been hit by a car and took him to a nearby veterinary hospital.

The former number seven in the world, who asked fans to pray for the dog, has now revealed that he adopted him and called him Crash.

“The accident is recovering and finally outside the hospital after five days of oxygen support,” Collins said on Instagram.

“His breath has returned to normal, his wounds are healing and he is definitely enjoying all the love he is receiving. He is curious, affectionate and grateful for a second possibility of 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 street with so many people who were driving from his curled body.

“I am only grateful to have been able to be there and to have caused him the care he needed.

“I officially adopted him. Once he finished recovering, he will attend the school.”
