One quiet night, a dog appeared at the entrance of a small restaurant. It wasn't until the next morning that the dog was found curled up in a corner by the door.
It only showed a pair of aggrieved eyes, staring intently at everyone who passed by.
Initially, the dog's presence affected the restaurant's customers, so the owner had to go out and chase it away. However, the dog returned to the restaurant entrance after only a few steps.
After several unsuccessful attempts to shoo it away, the shop owner had no choice but to give in, thinking that it might stay for a couple of days and then leave. But to her surprise, the dog not only didn't leave, but also sadly shed tears in front of the door every day.
The dog stayed there for more than half a month. The landlady felt sorry for it and could only feed it every day, but the dog ate very little. What was even stranger was that the dog stayed in the same place.
Regardless of wind, rain, or scorching sun, the dog refused to leave. It was filled with anticipation for everyone who entered the restaurant, only to be disappointed afterward.
The shop owner sought help from an animal rescue organization because the dog wouldn't leave no matter how much she chased it away and was crying every day.
When the veterinarian arrived, he first examined the dog's eyes, and found that there was nothing wrong with them.
The reason it cries is because of emotional instability and mental stress.
It is speculated that the owner brought it to this place and abandoned it, but the loyal dog is still waiting for its owner to return.
After being taken back to the hospital, the dog underwent a thorough physical examination and was found to have late-stage heartworm infection, which was seriously threatening its life.
Because the treatment would take up to six months and be very expensive, that may be why the owner abandoned it.
Even in the hospital, the dog kept its eyes fixed on the door, as if hoping its owner would appear somewhere.
To cheer the dog up for its treatment, the veterinarian took it back to the restaurant so it could say goodbye to the owner who had been helping it.
When she learned that the dog was sick, the shop owner couldn't help but burst into tears. She played with the dog for a while and saw the dog's brief moment of happiness for the first time.
During the dog's treatment, its story was published and seen by a pet owner.
She lost her beloved pet, which she had lived with for eight years, just two months ago. Unable to cope with her pet's passing, her family is also immersed in grief.
Upon seeing the dog for the first time and feeling sorry for its past, the owner did not hesitate to adopt it.
Afterwards, we went to the hospital to see the dog. The dog was treated at the hospital and its condition gradually improved. When it saw its new owner, it took the initiative to go up and get close to him.
The new owner quickly set up a new home for the dog and couldn't wait to pick it up from the hospital. The family gave it a very meaningful name: "Hope".
Not long after moving into its new home, the owner sent a hopeful photo. In its eyes, there seemed to be stars again, no longer tears, and it became lively again. Hopefully, it will always be happy in its new family.
