Dog-Fearing Woman Wonders How To Practice Sensitivity When Visiting Person Who's Overly Fond Of Their Dog
Dog Patiently Waits For Weeks In The Same Spot His Family Dumped Him In A Heartbreaking Display Of Loyalty
He seems like such a loving and caring dog—who even had the heart to throw him out in the first place?
It really is disheartening to think that dogs, even known as man's best friend, are often the victims of abuse and neglect. It is such a shame that some people think it's just okay for them to abandon a dog in the streets just because they don't want to deal with them anymore, without even ensuring that they would survive out there.
Did you know that 65% of animals that experience abuse and neglect are dogs? Well, even though it may seem that a lot of people love these adorable little ones, a lot more people are actually heartless enough to just abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves on the streets once they decide they have had enough of caring for them.
Dogs often just end up in shelters because their owners give them up or they are found as strays, abandoned, and helpless. Knowing how real sweet they are, it really is heartbreaking to think of even imagining them on the streets, confused as to why they have been suddenly ripped out of their rights to a home and decent food to eat.
That's exactly what happened to this certain dog named Pepe, who has been left abandoned on the streets. Confused, he has been waiting in the exact same spot where he was dumped.
Read on to find out the whole story!
Pepe actually used to be one of the happiest dogs, living in his home in comfort and safety, and being given decent food whenever he needs it. However, things took a heartbreaking turn when his owners just decided to abandon and dump him on the streets because they were tired of having him around.
For many weeks after he was dumped, Pepe seemed to be confused and in denial that he was abandoned, and he always kept coming back to the spot his owners abandoned him, hoping for their return.
Rescuers were intent on rescuing Pepe, but he was still in the denial stage. Eventually, he started to realize that he was wrongfully abandoned, and started to avoid humans in disgust and heartbreak.
Pepe's attitude became a lot more skittish, so rescuers were careful on approaching him just in case he would run out into the busy road if he panics at the sight of them. They had to devise a trap to capture the dog safely.
However, as Pepe started to make his way toward the trap, some cops approached the scene. The sirens caused Pepe to panic and retract, so the cops had to drive away—thankfully, they understood the situation.
Pepe was finally lured into the trap quite successfully. As expected, his behavior was hostile at first, but he eventually calmed down as he was admitted into the shelter.
When his rescuers began to show affection to him, his fears seemed to have evaporated and he seemed comfortable snuggling in with the humans around him. It's really a shame that there are still more dogs out there like Pepe who are struggling with the trauma of abandonment, even if they were the most loving and caring dogs for their past owners.
