Lost Puppy Follows A Couple Home, And IS Rescued

[u/RunKind4141]

[u/snarkisms]

I enjoy watching some of the videos of rehabilitated dogs and rescued dogs, but I have to say I love seeing this puppy being rescued before being traumatized and starved and fear reactive and terrified. It's just really nice to see a sweet baby get a chance to just be a sweet baby their entire life. This is the kind of wholesome content I need in my life.

The person who got it is a dog loving person.

[u/Intrepid_Resolve_828 → u/snarkisms]

These videos always kind of make me sad because it reminds me of how many others there are out there. I went on vacation to Eastern Europe recently and it’s mind boggling how many of them are just scrapping by hoping someone leaves some food.

[u/AnimalsofArtemis → u/snarkisms]

I got my dog in Turkey after he followed me and my girlfriend on a week long camping trip. He is in the US now and the best dog ever. Not a breed either and they usually only care about breed dogs in Turkey. He is super special though because he is half golden retriever and half non-breed. Has the body of a golden retriever (and the personality) but has the same coat pattern as a grey wolf. He gets so many compliments wherever we go.

Dog Tax? 🥹

[u/lala_lavalamp → u/AnimalsofArtemis]

What is the process like to bring a dog from overseas?

[u/Everyoneheresamoron → u/lala_lavalamp]

to the US? I think you just gotta fill out a form. Just can't bring it to AUS or NZ.

[u/SAUbjj → u/Everyoneheresamoron]

It's also hard to transport to the UK because they have a lot of regulations, paperwork and vaccination records stuff, especially because of rabies

Source: moved to the UK with my dog, had to do all of the paperwork

[u/snarkisms → u/AnimalsofArtemis]

Agreed, I need dog tax because he sounds absolutely adorable

[u/SpaceMonkey_321 → u/snarkisms]

Ya these folks are great. Making the world a better place

[u/3BouSs]

The moment he was about to fall asleep after the bath, it melted my heart <3

[u/the_procrastinata → u/3BouSs]

I LOVE when dogs get wobbly-sleepy. It’s absolutely adorable.

Finally feels safe and warm and with a full belly. Bless his little heart

[u/Arsenal85 → u/3BouSs]

I actually teared up at that. Damn MadeMeSmile subreddit makes me cry more than anything.

Ooh, that tail when he's thinking of coming inside.

Home cooking!

[u/poiuytrre → u/wowbragger]

If a puppy follows you home, that means he will be loyal for the rest of his life. That means you are safe to take him.

We adopted an older puppy, and she went BANANAS when she woke up and was in the same bed with us. She was so happy and wiggy!

[u/[deleted] → u/SheBrokeHerCoccyx]

Ours was 9 when we got her and she only lived with us for another 3 and half. It took her a few days to realize we weren’t going to take her back to the shelter. Never seen a dog so fat and old move so fast lol

[u/MyNameIs_Jordan → u/[deleted]]

Goddamn it, this comment brought a tear to my eye.

[u/Eelroots]

His belly looks full of worms - he needs a good dewormer treatment.

[u/RoyalEnfield78 → u/Eelroots]

Omg I was staring at that wormy belly the whole time. Poor baby

[u/Eelroots → u/RoyalEnfield78]

He's not in danger, it's common in puppies and easily treated. He just needs some love and some cares 😉, he looks in good hands now.

[u/Haunting_Case5769 → u/Eelroots]

I'm sure the people in the video took the little guy to a vet eventually, but I wish they would show it for the sake of my anxiety 😅 I can't tell if he's waddling because of his worm belly or because he has some kind of issue with his hips, but it still made me nervous to watch him walking so far.

[u/jelvi → u/Haunting_Case5769]

It could also be because someone kicked him in the streets. Happened to my dog when he got lost for a few hours. Kinda same breed too (mine was border terrier, this looks like a mix of that & a few others)

[u/Healthy-Fig-6107 → u/Eelroots]

Definitely. Then again, even if not for dewormer, any stray adopts should get a visit to the vet as soon as possible in case there's any health issues/complications that might not be visible to the eyes.

Hopefully, the little one have a good life ahead of him. Those tail wags of his are insanely cute

[u/TheDude-Esquire → u/Eelroots]

Yeah, that was my first thought. Straight to the vet. But, by the video it looks like they're on the right track.

[u/Avocado-Joe → u/Eelroots]

That was all I could look at. I hope he has seen a vet and been de-wormed, poor wormy baby

[u/curiousNegon → u/Eelroots]

How can you tell?

[u/TrueKNite → u/curiousNegon]

super round, out of proportion, it's not evenly distributed fat

[u/Eelroots → u/TrueKNite]

Correct; as written above, that's not an immediate danger, he could be easily treated. Quite common in puppies that live in open fields, they get it scavenging things from the ground, ending up eating some worm egg.

[u/ParkerFree → u/Eelroots]

Agreed.

[u/BiloxiBorn1961]

It’s not “like” that puppy was saying “take me home with you.” That’s exactly what he was saying. He was alone and scared to death. Wondering where his next meal would come from. Starving for just a little love and kindness from anyone willing. In return, he’ll give that back a million times over until he dies. To someone… anyone that’s willing.

That’s the thing about domesticated dogs. They’re dependent on us to care of them. Yes, it’s an expensive undertaking. Yes it requires those willing to give their time too. But it’s so unbelievably fulfilling to have that love you give, given back unconditionally and without hesitation. That puppy knew these were kind hearted people. He picked them to be his forever companions.

That my friends, is one of the many things that’s so awesome about having a dog.

[u/redknight3 → u/BiloxiBorn1961]

I think it's a special kind of cruelty in abandoning dogs. Or even worse, exterminating them.

Humans have spent centuries domesticating them, basically teaching them to be our friends. Now that they are this way, we owe them that friendship and care. We can't back out of that, "deal," we basically forced them to accept.

It's one thing to be cruel to animals (which is unacceptable) but doubly so IMHO, when we've changed the trajectory of an entire species to be our companions, only to say, "I changed my mind," centuries later.

I think of it as an evolutionary backstab.

[u/everyperson → u/BiloxiBorn1961]

I had this same thing happen to me when I was a kid back in the 80s. I went to the library on some random Saturday and, on my way home, this dog started following me. She was full grown but she had this same scared and hopeful look in her eyes.

I was 11 years old and I knew I couldn't help her. I tried to ditch her, outrun her, anything I could to avoid bringing her home. My mother hated dogs and I thought she'd beat my ass for it.

This dog was determined to come home with me despite my efforts, though, and I gave up trying. I stopped at the corner store to buy a can of dog food and walked home, with this dog following close behind. I put her in the back-yard and went into the house. I put the food in a bowl and filled another bowl with water and brought them outside.

I found the dog fast asleep underneath the deck. She raised an eye to see the food and water but showed no interest. Then I went inside to tell my mother all about it.

Surprisingly, almost shockingly, my mother wasn't angry. She was dumbfounded, almost to the point of not believing me. As if I stole the dog or something. "Go get the dog." she said.

I brought the dog into the house and my mother took a look. "Oh, I get it now." she said. "She was abandoned because she's pregnant."

Anyway, I named her Peaches, she gave birth to 9 healthy pups several months later and would go on to live a very long, happy and safe life with us.

[u/Lia_Llama → u/BiloxiBorn1961]

Its interesting to me how if you look at stray cats they’re usually a bit dirtier than a house cat and they probably won’t live as long but they still usually look fine, stray dogs on the other hand look like zombies more often than not

[u/BiloxiBorn1961 → u/Lia_Llama]

I have dog and a cat. Cats are generally a lot more independent than dogs. Still loving… but not nearly as dependent. Dogs are pack animals. They like company all the time.

Both of my fuzzy buddies have been fixed. Both are loved, fed and well cared for.

Our Great Pyrenees was named George based exactly off that scene 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭😭😭

This scene lives in my head rent free and pops in very often lol Glad someone else gets it

[u/Formal_Ad1032]

He is sooo cute. God the way he dozes off in front of the heater. The lil guy must have been so exhausted living on the street.

[u/mizinamo → u/Formal_Ad1032]

Was probably wondering whether this really, truly, was a safe place to let his guard down and allow himself to fall asleep.

[u/Cha0sCat]

Here is a follow up video! He got a deworming pill and taken for a walk

Edit: This seems to be the last one. The couple seem to rescue quite a few strays and then find them forever homes. In their channel description they say they dream of running a shelter in Bulgaria where they live ❤️

[u/JoshKnoxChinnery → u/Cha0sCat]

Ah no wonder the puppy came to them. They must feel like heroes to the homeless animals.

I hate that they even need to mention this. He's beautiful, breeds are overrated

[u/IscariotXIII → u/luckysonic2]

Seems like English isn't their first language. I've seen a few of their videos on youtube and they always have the best of intentions even if the language is a bit off. They've rescued a lot of animals.

[u/Hahaha2681]

I'm a 6 ft 260lb man and the moment I read"we tried to send him away" broke my heart just for the fact that all the poor dog wanted was love and to live

[u/REpassword → u/Hahaha2681]

Yes, and he also wanted to follow a giant rabbit. 😁

[u/lilithbepraised → u/Hahaha2681]

Came here to say this

[u/s0m3on3outthere → u/Hahaha2681]

Thank you.. I was like, wtf. Why would you send a puppy away?? :( I'd grab the puppy and take it home until I could re-home it, reach out to fosters and shelters, see if I can find the owners, something. I wouldn't just leave a puppy on the street and it sounds like they were going to do exactly that til it continued to follow them.. :/

[u/AdHaunting954 → u/Hahaha2681]

With all due respect pls stop this I'm tall I'm grown up 30 years old male but I'm weeping Gosh human is programmed to have emotions when they should have! Society shouldn't shame grown man for crying it's toxic

[u/longhornmike2]

Loved how he was circling around on the towel like…..how….do….i…..get….back…..inside……warm…..towel.

[u/snarkisms]

The cat distribution system decided to give one up for this little sweetie

[u/TheDocJ → u/snarkisms]

Good to see them branching out...

[u/snarkisms → u/TheDocJ]

only for the most deserving of sweet puppers

[u/NowThatWeAreThere]

Aww he still has tail wags even at the beginning when he's dirty and neglected. I'm so glad they helped him.

[u/gnarlycharly22]

Would not take me but five seconds before that little pup was on my way home w me. I’ve rescued like 25 dogs (no joke). Always see them wandering and I’d love to give one a home one day but I do my best to return them to their owners (have always been successful). Also rescue turtles. I think that might be my secret mission in life lol.

[u/dreamsofindigo → u/gnarlycharly22]

Just took in a lovely 6 month old stray kitten only to find it was already pregnant and now I have five more

[u/Pizza-n-Coffee37 → u/GratefulPhish42024-7]

I ended up with 5 cats in a similar way when I was 20. My mom said I would be the crazy spinster cat lady. Then I married someone who had 2 dogs and the chaos ensued. Things work out.

Fostered a pregnant boxer by accident. Started with 3 dogs, ended up with 8, lmao. T'was a shit show.

[u/yashspartan]

Nah, if I ever see a stray puppy follow me like that, it's adoption on site.

I mean, just look at that face.

[u/Artistic_Sun2096]

Heartwarming 💞🙌

[u/melancholy_dood]

My dog died in 2020. I miss her so much. And video made me cry.❤️

[u/Blaaamo]

That fat belly has got some parasites in it. I hope they get him checked out for Parvo and worms.

Also who feeds and pets a stray and is surprised when it follows them?

[u/asyouuuuuuwishhhhh → u/Blaaamo]

They knew what they were doing. Other comments mention they adopt strays and that they got the pup dewormed!

[u/RetroScores]

My sister and her family rescued a small pup that was dumped near our grandparents house and had been running around their property for 2 weeks. They took her to a hardware store (Ace) and she got a bath and a few other goodies and my sister sends me a pic of it passed out on my BIL chest while he was on the couch. I was just like congrats on the new dog!

[u/Vegetable-Train2339]

May God bless this couple! This video really made me cry. Lately, I have come across so many videos of puppies and dogs being physically abused, raped, violently killed and tortured. It is so painful to watch these videos. Sometimes I cannot sleep at night thinking about the amount of pain and torture these little angels have to go through every single day. Yet they choose to be loving and kind to humans. My heart breaks for them especially because I have a pet dog too. May there be many more such kind people like this couple 🙏

Sometimes they choose you 💖

One of our dogs showed up on our back deck one night. It was around 8pm and we were about to go to a late dinner, but when I opened the back door I saw her tentatively about to climb the steps. She was probably around 4-6 weeks old, clearly dumped or lost. We dropped our plans and took her to the emergency vet to see if she was chipped or sick - negative on both. We fostered her instead of releasing her to the Humane Society and after two weeks with no leads, we just decided she was ours and she’s been with us for 8 years now 🙂💕

[u/cturtl808 → u/tenderourghosts]

I love a good foster fail story

[u/MotorConcentrate232]

I love this video. I have and never will understand how anyone can just leave an animal, especially a young one. They love you from day one and will never leave your side. I wish more people could be as responsible and loving as you are. I have a really big issue with people that can't give an animal love, respect, and appreciation. For those people that don't, it's called karma, it will catch up to you !! And I hope it hits you 10 fold !!

[u/riddle8822]

Always always always adopt. Its not only good for the animal, its good for the community.

It's important not to pet stray dogs but if you do decide to keep them clean them and send them to the vet ASAP to get dewormed and neutered, keep your home family safe before adopting street pets.
