This puppy was picked up from the streets and transported to a shelter by a bystander in late January. Even seasoned personnel were taken aback by the dog’s actions.
«The dog sits and stares out the window all day, as if waiting for someone to come get him.
«Every time someone walks by, he stretches his entire body forward, then droops when he realizes the person is gone,» the shelter posted on Facebook.
The dog was clearly not a stray, but little was known about its owner until it was revealed that he was an elderly man who had lately passed away.
The shelter was also informed that the dog had not only lost his owner, but also a long-time buddy with whom he had shared a home.
Social media users were moved by the dog’s story. More than 2,000 people commented on the dog’s Facebook post. The shelter requested that people share the dog’s story on social media in the hopes of finding him a new home.
More than three thousand individuals read the story, and it aided the cause.
The excellent news arrived in the final days of January: the dog had been found! The shelter employees needed around seven hours to go over all of the applications before finding the dog’s owner.
The shelter is overjoyed at the change in their ward’s fortunes and hopes that the new owner will be able to heal the dog’s spiritual wounds.
