While patrolling Northeast Houston, a volunteer from Corridor Rescue spotted a small puppy trotting down the street with a damp newspaper clutched in his mouth. The little tan dog walked with a proud gait, clearly delighted with his makeshift “toy.” Despite his cheerful demeanor, it was evident that he had been struggling to survive on the streets. The volunteer quickly took a video of the pup, then decided to scoop him up, leaving the soggy newspaper behind.

Page Moore, the president of Corridor Rescue, told The Dodo, “The newspaper was soggy and smelly, but he was soon given plenty of new toys to enjoy.” The puppy, soon named Bingo, underwent a veterinary checkup that revealed he weighed just 11 pounds and was infested with parasites. He was also suffering from sarcoptic mange and a secondary bacterial skin infection from constant scratching, as well as dehydration. “He tested positive for Parvo,” Moore added, “but fortunately, he had a mild case and recovered quickly with treatment.”

Initially, Bingo was nervous in his new surroundings at the rescue. However, as his health began to improve, his playful and spirited personality started to shine through. “He became a spunky little fella!” Moore shared. “Bold in spirit and eager for company, young Bingo was as bright and vibrant as a puppy can get. He loved interacting with the staff and volunteers and enjoyed all of his toys.”

Rescuers swooped in, but when they got the pup into their care, she had lost the use of her back legs, was struggling to breathe, and weighed just around 20 pounds.

Within the first month, Bingo gained 8 pounds and was soon deemed healthy and ready for adoption. His journey to find a forever home did not take long. Just three months after being rescued, he caught the eye of a family who saw his adoption profile online.

Bingo’s new mom, who lived in Saint Paul, Minnesota, immediately fell in love with the playful pup. She submitted an adoption application, and on August 2nd, Bingo left Texas to start a new life with a mom and three children. His new family decided to rename him Chance, symbolizing his fresh start and the new life ahead of him.

Now, Chance is thriving in his new home, and his love for playing continues. Chance remains as energetic and playful as ever, proving that even the simplest things can bring joy if you have the right spirit. To see the pup’s rescue and happily ever after, click on the TikTok video posted below.
