Unfortunately, loyalty among humans is not a matter of course. The situation is different in the animal world. Dogs in particular are known for their unwavering devotion and love for their human companions.
Even when they are no longer considered lovable due to their age and are simply thrown away..
An elderly dog is simply abandoned
Dawn had a family, she loved her humans unconditionally and was a happy dog.
But one day the family decides that Dawn can no longer be part of it because she has become too old and unsightly. So she is simply sent to the animal shelter.
The dog no longer understands the world, especially in her old age she needs the security and love of the people she knows.
Despite her age, she radiates a wonderful gentleness. The worn paws, cloudy eyes and other signs of health problems are above all a sign of neglect.
Where to take Dawn?
Staying in an overcrowded shelter is not an option for an old lady dog with health problems.
Fortunately, the story takes a positive turn when Rocky Kanaka intervenes and stands up for the dog.
She is finally allowed out of the shelter and into a hopeful future, but when Rocky finds her in her kennel, he is shocked.
Dawn is in a sad and neglected state, her paws are inflamed, her skin is itchy and her soul is infinitely heavy.
Rocky calls the Frosted Faces Foundation, a rescue centre for older dogs, but is initially turned away as there is no space available. But a little later Dawn is able to move in, which literally saves her life.
The shadows slowly disappear from Dawn’s life
It’s the little things that make her happy and bring back her zest for life: A delicious meal, her new avocado toast squeaky toy and quality time with new people.
All this gives her the feeling that she is cared for and appreciated again.
Now she can spend her twilight years happily and contentedly, recovering bit by bit from her traumatic past.
This story proves that old dogs do not belong in the sidings, but want to be loved until the end of their lives. Anyone who acquires a pet takes on a great responsibility that lasts as long as the animal lives!
