The lengths that some people go to when showing love to their rescue dogs restores our faith in humanity. And this is a wonderful story from Lucky Dog Refuge CT
When Jessica found a Pittie curled up in a ball in the woods, she wasn’t sure she was going to make it. After all, she was frightfully thin, obviously injured, and was in need of immediate TLC.
By coaxing the Pittie into her car with some food, Jessica and her team went about rescuing her. Because she was in such a bad way and found it difficult to trust human beings, Jessica wasn’t sure what the future had in store for the Pittie, who she named Halo.
After being put on antibiotics by the vet, Halo started to show some signs of recovery. She also started to feed well and began filling out ever so slightly, which is remarkable considering how thin she was when she was rescued.
Although it was clear to her rescuers that Halo was visually impaired, they didn’t realize that she was fully blind until it was confirmed by the vet. This made it difficult to walk her at first, but as she began placing her trust in her rescuers, Halo started to experience joy for the first time in her life.
Halo has now fully adapted to her new surroundings and has learned to trust the other dogs and humans in her life. She has come such a long way from the incredibly difficult and traumatic experiences she was obviously exposed to her in her previous life, but it’s so wonderful to see an older Pittie like Halo have such a great opportunity to rebuild her life.
