Imagine that you are so alone and abandoned that you don’t even know who you are. Unfortunately, there are plenty of cases in the dog world when a pup wanders around for years and nobody cares about his condition. By their nature, dogs are creatures that are very attached to people.
But, when there is nobody to take care of them, they can become so neglected that it is difficult to recognize them.This is exactly what the heroine of today’s story realized, who did absolutely everything to help a dog that was in such bad condition that even his face could not be seen.
Now, just imagine the inner state of those dogs, as it is a true reflection of how they look from the outside, yet even worse.There was this one mysterious dog that was wandering around the streets of Rowan for years. Many people tried to rescue him, but it was always unsuccessful.
The dog was so neglected and extremely matted that it was impossible to tell if it was a male or a female.One day, two rescuers of STAR (Saving the Animals of Rowan), in Rowan, Kentucky, noticed the dog in one of the neighborhoods and they were determined to save this poor pup.One of the rescuers, whose name is Penny, was especially motivated because she was sure that this dog wanted to be saved, but because of its distrust of people, it avoided any contact with them.
For the first few days, she just followed it to see where it was going, so that she and her colleague, Rhonda, could follow it more easily.After about three days, she came a little closer, so that it could smell her and get used to it. It was the first step in gaining the dog’s trust.
