I’ve been thinking lately about empathy for animals and why some people generally don’t have it while others do.
It’s one of the things that isn’t talked about much. Too often we have seen a stray dog limping down the road and most people just walk by and ignore it.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Even for people who aren’t animal lovers, helping a lost puppy get a new chance at life doesn’t cost much. We can all do more on this front.
This sweet dog had a lot of trouble moving, making it very difficult for him to do anything until a man noticed him and decided to do something about it.

However, he was very kind and appreciated this attention. Then the man went and brought him something to eat.
Who knows when your last meal was? You must have really enjoyed this one. The puppy knew that this person wanted to help him, but he didn’t know how to ask him.
The man then went about his business, but noticed the puppy was in the same position when he returned.
He felt bad, so he gave the dog more food and water. After that, he decided to ask a veterinary clinic for help.
A veterinarian arrived on the scene in no time and examined the puppy. He had a serious skin infection and his hind legs were paralyzed due to older injuries.
Unfortunately, there was no way for him to move normally again, but the vets were still determined to help him live a somewhat normal life.
They also groomed his matted fur and gave him a bath to get rid of all the fleas. He also received deworming treatment.
Now that he was clean, he enjoyed a very pleasant meal and his mood changed instantly. The puppy was very happy to finally receive help.
He was very excited after his rescuer gave him a ball he could play with. Meanwhile, the man decided to build him a custom wheelchair so he could move around easily.
After he was settled and mounted on the dog, he was reluctant to move until he saw treats. His movement was a little unstable, but nothing that practice couldn’t fix.
With a little encouragement, he improved a lot and became more stable. He even managed to run for a while.
Therefore, his rescuer continued taking him for daily walks following the advice of veterinarians. I loved every second.
I had many different adventures every day. His savior would take him to picnics, grocery stores, and even restaurants.
The puppy was always well behaved and never made a mess. The man who rescued him decided to adopt him because he couldn’t imagine his life without this adorable dog.
As for the puppy, he can enjoy his life with the people he cares about most and it’s comforting to see that he’s finally happy.
If this story can teach us anything, it is that rescuing a dog and giving it shelter can always change our lives in a very positive way, which is why it is always important to give it a chance.
