I hope every pet owner truly considers whether they can care for their pet for its entire life. Don't wait until after you've adopted one, find the care too troublesome, regret it, and decide you don't want to keep it anymore! At that point, you've already harmed them; if you abandon them, you're indirectly killing them! Every action you take affects their entire lives. Can your conscience truly bear it? Today's story is about an abandoned puppy that happened in Nantong, Jiangsu. A young man working outside a residential area found a dog standing on the road outside his shop.
There were many cars passing by at the time, but the dog didn't try to avoid them at all. Instead, it stared at each passing car as if looking for its owner! The young man immediately realized that the dog had probably been abandoned by its driver and was now waiting there for its owner to return! Worried that the dog was hungry, the young man took some food and placed it on the ground to feed it. However, the dog only sniffed at the food, showed no interest in eating, and then turned and left! The young man felt so sorry for the dog! Such a loyal dog shouldn't have such an ending! So, the young man decided to rescue the dog. The next day, he specifically bought a leash, intending to tie the dog up and take it to a nearby pet store.
The dog was fairly friendly; perhaps because he had fed it before, it even allowed the man to pet it! The man successfully put it on a leash, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished, the dog suddenly went berserk and tried to run away! The man wouldn't let go, and it tried to bite him! In a moment of panic, the man released the leash, and the dog dragged it away! The man chased after it but couldn't catch it, and he didn't know where it went! For the next few days, the man felt extremely guilty. It was already difficult enough for the dog to be a stray, and now it was dragging a leash, so the man vowed to find it.
Because the dog had run away towards a residential area, the young man printed out "Lost Dog" posters and posted them throughout the neighborhood, hoping to get clues from kind-hearted people. Several days passed, but no one found the dog, and the young man was extremely worried! Fortunately, five days later, someone called to say they had found the dog on the roadside! The young man rushed over to see it! However, the dog's behavior was completely different now. It was no longer affectionate, and wouldn't even let humans approach. If a human entered its safe zone, it would immediately get up and leave! It wouldn't eat or drink anything offered to it; it had completely lost its trust in people!
The man initially planned to call a professional to catch it, but the next day he found it sleeping soundly by the roadside. His colleague carefully approached, picked up the leash from the dog's neck, and successfully caught it again! This time, the colleague didn't let go easily. The man then got a cardboard box, put the dog inside, and took it to a pet store immediately. After a short rest, the dog's nerves calmed down, and it stopped resisting at the pet store. Perhaps it realized that the person who caught it meant no harm and genuinely wanted to save it!
After a check-up at the vet, the dog wasn't sick, but its belly was very flat, probably because it wasn't eating. After a bath, drying, and deworming treatment, the man took it home. Because of work, he didn't have time to care for it, so he found it an adopter, and it will be placed there in a couple of days. The dog has been very well-behaved these past two days; it's finally about to begin its happy canine life again! We want to thank the kind man for giving it a second chance, and hope that every loyal dog will not be let down!
