This Dog Was So Heartbroken When His Owner Passed Away That He Refused To Leave His House

This Dog Was So Heartbroken When His Owner Passed Away That He Refused To Leave His House

Life is such that sometimes, things can change overnight. Today, you are in a warm home full of love, and tomorrow, you lose everything. If anyone can experience such a fate, it’s dogs who completely put their lives in the hands of their loving humans. 

That is why we will probably never be able to fully understand the pain these beings go through when they lose the one around whom their whole life revolves. Unfortunately, fate sometimes simply wants it to be that way.

When a dog named Amber found herself in an empty house after her owner suddenly passed away, her whole world collapsed. But, this dog did not leave her doorstep and, despite everything, remained loyal to the end.

Empty House, Empty Heart

When the people of Howl Of A Dog came to the place where this poor dog lived, they found her lying under a ruined house. As soon as she saw them, she was very scared and ran to a safe distance. 

Apart from the fact that her owner had passed away and that she had been living in front of an empty house for several months, they had no other information about what this poor dog had been through.

However, the very fact that she was left without her loved one overnight, as well as without a loving home, was enough reason for this behavior. 

No matter what, these people weren’t going to give up, and they followed her for a long time as she ran from them in fear all the way to the edge of the yard. 

In the end, their persistence paid off, and they managed to lure her into one room in the house

There, they saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and that was enough to motivate them to do everything to help her. She had already spent too much time in an empty house with an empty heart. 

It was time for her to feel true happiness once again.

When the rescuers saw that they had managed to gain Amber’s trust, they immediately started showering her with lots of love so that her wounds would begin to heal as soon as possible. Thus, they made her first steps on the road to full recovery easier.

They first took her to the veterinary clinic to check her health status. As they could have guessed, she had thousands of ticks on her. Aside from that, she was also diagnosed with Babesiosis – a tick-borne disease for which she received medical care.

She had no microchip, so they couldn’t track her medical record or know if she had ever been taken to a vet before. However, this did not discourage them from doing everything in their power to help this brave girl heal.

Along with her physical recovery, her emotional state was getting better every day as they gave her unlimited love and attention. On her way to a new life, she met many new friends and her heart was filled more and more.

Amber was no longer in an empty house with an empty heart, and soon, the most beautiful moment of her life was waiting for her. Finally, she will again have someone around whom her whole world will revolve.

When she heard about Amber’s life story, Howl Of A Dog’s great friend, Tatjana, decided to do everything in her power to help Amber find a new home – this time, a house full of love.

It wasn’t long before Amber got happy news. Brigit and Lars, a couple of dog lovers, decided to become Amber’s foster parents. It was a consolation prize for Amber until she could find her forever home.

However, things changed overnight – this time, for the better. These two great people fell in love with her so much that they decided to adopt her. It was a moment when Amber’s heart was finally full, and her new home was not empty – in fact, it was full of love.

Fate has once again shown how it knows how to play games, but if there is even a glimmer of hope and love in your heart, it will always stand by your side in the end.
