When it comes to dogs, I don’t think that most people realize just how important we are to them. Sometimes, even leaving them for a few hours can make them really anxious.
I can’t even begin to imagine what abandonment does to them. But, I am willing to guess that it causes deep psychological trauma that is hard to heal.
For this reason alone, I could never understand the people who just casually abandon their dogs and leave them in the middle of nowhere.
The least they could do if they don’t want a dog is to surrender him to a shelter. This poor pup is a victim of that same fate, unfortunately. He was abandoned by his owner and now had to survive on his own.
He Didn’t Want To Move
When some kind rescuers first found this pup lying in a field next to a factory, they couldn’t believe their eyes. They kept wondering why someone would just leave him like that.
The pup didn’t even bother looking for food. He just stood in the exact same spot where his owner left him in hopes that he would come back for him.
This meant that he got pretty weak and could hardly move by the time his rescuers came. They tried comforting him, but it didn’t work.
They tried taking him back to their vehicle, but the dog was very reluctant and didn’t want to go. He still wanted to stay and wait for his owner.
The rescuers tried to calm him down and show that they wanted to help him. When he finally settled down, they were able to transport him to the vehicle and take him to the clinic.
He underwent many examinations and the veterinarians tried to stabilize his condition. When the results came, it turned out that he had dirofilariasis and severe heart damage.
The pup also had fluid in his body that needed to be drained. His veterinarians knew that his prognosis was not great, and he would need to be in a proper home in order to live a somewhat normal life.
However, now that he was at the clinic, his veterinarians did everything they could for him. The pup was eating a bit better now.
Rom Has Changed A Lot
His mood hasn’t really improved since he was abandoned, but his rescuers will try to help him. With love, care, and proper nutrition, his mood began to change.
The pup, now named Rom, was beginning to wag his tail whenever his rescuers were around. That was surely a good sign that he trusted them.
He was starting to open up even more, and his rescuers took every opportunity they could to help him realize that these people only wanted what was best for him.
With time, Rom even grew very affectionate to his veterinarians who cared for him around the clock. He was grateful to everyone for helping him.
It was a truly heartwarming moment for his rescuers and veterinarians. Rom’s condition improved. His weight went up, and the medications stabilized his condition.
The only sad news is that he will have to take the medications for the rest of his life, but they will keep his condition stable, so that’s good.
He will be able to lead somewhat of a normal life, even though he is an old dog at this point. So, one of his rescuers took it upon herself to give him that new chance.
She adopted Rom and he now has a roof over his head and an owner who cares deeply for him. They play often and go on walks together.
They have adventures almost all the time and Rom is so happy and grateful for all of it. Despite the fact that he was previously abandoned, he is now living the life he always deserved.
