A woman walked into an apartment building and found a dog standing there. He was skin and bones. It almost seemed like the dog was waiting for someone… someone who wasn’t coming back. Despite mistreatment, the loyalty of a dog will continue to shine through. Dogs are such loving creatures and will often overlook the cruelty their owners put them through. Sadly for the pup, later named Hilly, the time he spent alone in that building was filled with disappointment and heartache.

The woman decided to leave Hilly in the building just in case his owner returned. The dog was reluctant to go with her anyway. But she did return the next day. Hilly was still there. She gave him food and water but the pup refused to go near it. Unfortunately, the dog was loyal to a fault. Hilly also had a bandage on his leg. It’s possible that the injury was too expensive to treat and his owner gave up on him. This is inexcusable and disgusting behavior but sadly it happens too often.

The kind woman was able to pick Hilly up and put him in the car. He was safe now. As her friend drove, she pet Hilly’s face and he looked at her like he wanted to cry. It was as if he missed his owner, despite everything he was put through. It was heartbreaking. The two women brought Hilly straight to the vet. The veterinarian was shocked by the dog’s appearance and understandably asked a lot of questions. The dog was dehydrated and malnourished, and of course, significantly underweight. Thankfully, Hilly was released from the vet clinic two days later and the woman was happy to bring him home.

Hilly’s transformation, his ability to form lasting friendships, and help other animals that needed a friend is PAWSOME! Thank you to the rescuers for finding Hilly and giving him a beautiful new life. He is thriving in his new home and we couldn’t be happier! See his full story below!
