A man was walking through town when he heard whimpering nearby. He searched the property and found a tiny puppy on the other side of an iron fence. Since he couldn’t open the gate, he had to lure the puppy out of the small opening. He had some snacks in his pocket and placed them on the floor. The hungry baby immediately came running. She was starving! But when the man tried to pick her up, she cried and ran away. But the kind man persisted.
The puppy retreated but was too hungry to leave the snacks behind. The man stood at a safe distance, and she came over once again to eat. The man continued to say, “It’s okay, I won’t hurt you,” hoping to calm her down. While she was still hesitant, her hunger overwhelmed her, and she began to eat from his hand.
The kind-hearted individual didn’t want to leave the puppy, but when he peered through the gate, he saw two larger dogs inside. One of the dogs was possibly her mother, but he still wasn’t confident she was getting enough to eat. He picked the puppy up and took her with him. Once in the car, the puppy looked confused. But hopefully, with time and care, she would understand that this rescue was for her own good.
The puppy was taken back to the man’s home, where he bathed her and fed her regularly. She still seemed out of sorts, so after a couple of days, he decided to go search for her mother. They returned to where the puppy was found. The puppy knew exactly where she was and ran to a particular spot. The sweet girl stopped along the way to make sure the man was following her. They had already developed a deep bond.
Amazingly, the puppy led the man to one of her siblings. They were so happy to be together again. Even though the puppy was bonded to the man, she didn’t want to leave the area, but it wasn’t ideal for any dog to live there. The man didn’t know what to do. He wanted to reunite the puppy with her mother but was concerned.
He gave in to her request and vowed to check on the puppy the following day. But as soon as he was about to leave, he had an ache in his chest. He had to go search for the mother himself. He found a dog that resembled the puppies, but she wouldn’t come close enough for him to catch her.
Merida is a senior who was found abandoned in a backyard with her sibling who had passed away. She was left to fend for herself as an 11-year-old with diabetes. Thankfully, Kanoa Rescue Foundation stepped in to save her, but she still needs your help!
He had no other choice but to bring the puppies home. He vowed to give both dogs the best life possible, and he did! They are now thriving with the man in their forever home.
