There are two types of dogs in this world. Those who will try to move on after being abandoned, and those who refuse to.
Some will go as far as just staying in one spot and waiting for their family to come for them, refusing any kind of help.
In this story, we will talk about a dog who was living with hope that his family hadn’t abandoned him.
A Hopeful, But Scared Dog
During one of her regular rescue missions in California, animal rescuer, Suzette Hall, ran into a dog who had been lying almost entirely still for days near a construction site.
She was called there by a good samaritan who noticed the dog a few days ago and was surprised that she was still there.
When Hall tried to help the dog, she noticed that she was really scared, so she knew she had to be careful when approaching her.
She said to The Dodo: She was so afraid of people. People would try to go sit with her, or walk past her with their dogs, and she would just bark at them.
A lot of neighbors wanted to help in the efforts – some even tried to lure her in with food, but nothing seemed to work.
As part of her final effort, Hall left a trap for the dog overnight and decided she would check the next morning to see if it worked.
A New Day, A New Effort
Something was off this morning. The dog seemed less spooked when fewer people were around, and Hall thought this was a good opening.
She checked to make sure her trap was still in place, and then pretended to leave. Hall said: I freshened up the trap and pretended I was leaving. I drove down the street, and then I saw her get up and start circling the trap.
She returned a little bit later to find the dog had actually fallen for the trap and was finally safe. Hall continued by saying: Once I got her out of my trap, she was so scared.
She was frozen like a pancake. But she was so sweet. So I spent a lot of time with her just loving her and rubbing her.
Hall took the dog to a veterinarian to make sure she was healthy. Later, she was placed in a room where she would be on her own for a while.
They tried to think of a name for her, and the perfect one came to mind. She was now called Bella.
She was later taken to a foster care in California where she received a lot of love and kisses from people who really cared about her.
While it’s unclear if she was adopted, what is clear is that Bella is a wonderful dog who has lots of love to give and deserves her happily-ever-after.
