Puppy Faints When Reunited With His Owner After 2 Years Lost – He Was So Overjoyed

A Schnauzer dog was so overjoyed to see his owner after so many years that he collapsed as he hugged and kissed her.

People who have lost a pet should never give up hope of seeing them again, no matter how many days, months, or years pass. Rebecca and her puppy Casey were separated for two years when the Schnauzer vanished without a trace.

Despite her efforts, she was unable to locate him, and her fate would lead her to live in another city. However, after a long wait, the reunion became a reality, and the canine even fell with ecstasy, but don’t worry, he is OK.

He faints with emotion when he is reunited with his dog after two years apart.

Rebecca, the owner of the canine, had given up almost all hope and had even gone to work and live in Slovenia, but after two years she returned to her hometown, Murrysville, Pennsylvania, where she saw her beloved Casey, and although they do not explain how they contacted her, it was clear that the two were very happy to see each other.

The excitement was reciprocal as soon as they saw each other; both the Schnauzer and the owner began to cry and embrace each other, but the canine couldn’t hold his joy at finding his soulmate and collapsed for seconds.

At the time, the two let their emotions run wild, and while Rebecca was overjoyed, it is clear that she is terrified as her puppy falls to the floor, prompting her to act and bring him back to life.

Finally, they presented it to a veterinarian, and apparently it didn’t grow any worse, and Casey was great.

How an injured puppy came to my aid when I needed it most?

As a licensed veterinary technician, I have encountered numerous injured puppies throughout my career. Working in emergency medicine exposes you to so many animals in need, but one in particular captured my heart.

About five years ago, I arrived at the animal hospital ready to begin a typical shift. A tiny puppy with multiple wounds lay on the treatment table across the room, visibly disturbed from her traumatic evening.

The technician presently caring for the injured puppy had multiple patients, so I assumed responsibility for her. I still recall my initial astonishment at seeing so many puncture wounds on such a small body, as well as her remarkable resilience considering what she had endured.

As I learned more about her situation, I came to comprehend how dire it was for this poor puppy.

The injured puppy was described as being thrown around like a rag doll after being attacked by two large canines. The owner eagerly displayed her new puppy to her neighbors by placing her on the ground with their two adult dogs.

Without knowledge of appropriate canine introductions, she was shocked when the dogs attack the small puppy immediately.

The 6-week-old puppy faced certain mortality if we did not act immediately, and her owner could not comprehend the gravity of the situation. Her owner was just old enough to bring a companion through our doors, but not old enough to comprehend the ongoing care this puppy would require.

After multiple diagnostic tests, it was determined that she had a multitude of severe injuries. She had numerous fractured ribs, a fractured femur, and a fractured hip, and was in a state of shock as a result of her ordeal. Even if she were to survive this trauma, she had a lengthy journey ahead of her.

The young owner was aware that she could not provide the puppy with the care she required in the future and was contemplating bringing her home as-is. At this juncture, I became extremely invested in the care of this puppy and offered to adopt her. This exceptional puppy was soon entrusted to my care, and my life with her commenced.

After affectionately naming her Ellie, we began our lengthy road to recovery. I say “our” because of the difficulties I was experiencing at the time; I also had healing to accomplish. Ellie entered my life just as I was getting sober and assisted me through the most difficult endeavor I would ever undertake.

Ellie required an FHO (a type of hip repair), external fixators in her femur for eight weeks, and a hospital stay in order to recover from shock. Her treatment was exhaustive and laborious, but ultimately well worth it. Eight weeks later, her fixators were removed, enabling her to become the rambunctious puppy she had always desired to be!

Ellie became the greatest friend I could have ever asked for. She remained at my side through sleepless nights, unbearable heartbreak, and every struggle I would face in my sobriety journey.

I have been sober for five years, and I attribute much of my success to the affection she showed me during my darkest days. In every way, Ellie is my heart dog, and I cannot fathom my life without her.

A Kind Woman Who is Not Afraid of Danger Saves a Poor Skinny Dog Stuck in the Middle of the Road

It was a chaotic morning on a busy road when a heartwarming rescue took place.

At 8:00 AM, a kind-hearted individual spotted a weak and fragile dog stuck in the middle of the road. Despite the blaring horns of passing cars, the dog was too weak to move.

Determined to help, the rescuer made multiple attempts to catch the dog, but it ran away each time. Without hesitation, the rescuer called for backup, and soon their husband and sister arrived to assist in the rescue mission.

After a relentless effort, the dog was finally caught and taken to the hospital. The poor pup was severely dehydrated and had to be hospitalized for four days. A battery of tests was conducted, and thankfully, the results came back negative for tick’s disease, cyanosis, and stomach parasites.

However, the dog was diagnosed with scabies, and immediate care was initiated.

In the first few days of being in the care of the rescuer, the dog was scared and didn’t show much interest in playing. But with the love and care provided, the dog slowly started to come out of its shell. It began to trust its rescuers and started to show signs of improvement.

The scabies treatment was progressing well, and the dog’s health was steadily improving.

As the days passed, the dog’s playful personality started to shine through. It wagged its tail, played fetch, and even showed affection towards its rescuers. It was evident that despite its challenging past, the dog was resilient and had a strong spirit.

The rescuer was overwhelmed with joy seeing the dog’s progress. They were touched by the dog’s unwavering spirit despite its difficult circumstances. The bond between the rescuer and the dog grew stronger with each passing day.

After several weeks of care and rehabilitation, the dog was finally ready for adoption. The rescuer knew that they had formed a special bond with the dog and decided to give it a forever home. They named the dog Lucky, as it was a miracle that he survived and overcame his health challenges.

Lucky’s transformation was truly remarkable. From being weak and scared in the middle of a busy road, to a playful and happy dog in a loving home, Lucky’s story is a testament to the power of compassion, perseverance, and the resilience of animals.

Lucky’s story also serves as a reminder of the importance of being vigilant while driving and looking out for animals in need. It only takes a moment to make a difference in an animal’s life, just like the rescuer who went above and beyond to save Lucky.

Lucky’s journey is a heartwarming example of how an act of kindness can change a life, and how a little love and care can help a fragile being thrive. Lucky has truly found his happy ending, thanks to the unwavering dedication and compassion of his rescuer.

Learning How To Climb The Stairs Together, A Baby And A Puppy Become Attached More

It can be seen that babies and puppies have different perspectives on how to see the world with adults. To them, everything is a lot bigger and even minor challenges like climbing the stairs.

The following story shows how a 1-year-old toddler teaches her puppy how to deal with the frightening staircase. Her name is Mia. The camera caught the lovely moment, and Life with Malamutes shared this video on youtube. Then, It spread out over the world with 653,000 views.

As Mia’s parents sharing in the video’s caption, that was the first time Teddy had seen stairs, and they were quite attractive to him. Mia’s parents will try to keep him calm and show him how to climb. He was a little nervous after the first few moves. However, he quickly jumped up and down happily with his best friend, Amelia.

Although Mia just knew how to get up the stairs by herself, she was considered the best trainer for Teddy to learn how to climb the stairs.

At the beginning of climbing, Mia was superior to her pup. When Mia got halfway up the stairs, Teddy was seen to be on the second step. At that time, Mia was made to move slowly by her parents to assist the frightened puppy.

Teddy can climb, but he makes it a little slowly.

Obviously, Teddy is quite scared, and it seems to be quite tricky in committing the action. His owner, Mia’s dad, realizes his fear and agrees to join in this training. Teddy’s human father wants to help him to figure out what he is doing.

Teddy follows Mia up and down, then down and up because he is interested in being by her side. Mia’s parents also said that at the same time, they taught her how to move safely, and she could do that with any objects she met.

After that, we can see how they make progress by seeing the video two weeks later. They look like two seasoned stair climbers.

Through the video, the faith of Teddy has grown just in two weeks. Besides, he has been much more confident than before. He can climb the stairs along with Mia as an expert.

Now, this looks like a climbing race between Mia and her pup.

Some people who watch this video commented to express their interest in the climbing of both babies. They showed admiration for Mia’s foresight and her approaching the left to avoid Teddy when he tried to come down. That is so cute!

Let’s share this adorable video with your friends and family.

Dog Starved & Beaten Fights For Her Life, Keeps Kissing Her Veterinarians As a Token of Gratitude

Veterinarians are amazed the emaciated pup with a history of horrors wishes only to give love to her saviors.

A family in Johnson County, Kansas found a dog so weak and emaciated that the small furbaby couldn’t stand on her own. She was so sick that her saviors were uncertain if the dog would survive the extent of abuse she had endured.

In an effort to offer the dog a fighting chance, the family took her a veterinary hospital in Mission Care. There, the staff took the dog and immediately placed her within the medical care unit.

Amazingly, despite the lifetime of horrors and abuse she faced, the small dog together with her ribs protruding was happy and loving. Veterinarians were amazed the small abused pup simply wanted to like and kiss everyone.

Pawsitive Tails Dog Rescue teamed up with the veterinary hospital therefore the Canis Minor could receive care and not allow the abusers to win.

According to a recent update on Facebook, the valuable dog has been named Brighe. Her bloodwork is poor but it might be worse, and she or he hasn’t been eager to eat lately. However, they decide to keep her hospitalized, give her a feeding tube, and still fight to stay Brighe alive.

The name Brighe translates to “strength and power” in Irish, which is what this determined canine fighter has deep in her soul.

A Dog with Only Half an Ear and Fleas Finds Faith Again After Living on the Streets for Years

A small dog should have a happy life full of love and a safe roof. But some pets are forced to wander the streets aimlessly without a place to call home. They have to deal with hunger, cold, thirst, and, most of all, persecution.

Meg, the pet dog, has already been through a lot in her short three years.

Meg is a small sugar tone that just showed up on the patio of a horse’s house in Texas, USA, a few days ago. When he first saw her, the owner of the restaurant could not look at her because she was so neglected, malnourished, and full of fleas that he could not look at her.

It was clear that this mysterious little dog had spent a lot of time on the streets, or at least that is what her deep, sad eyes suggested. She seemed to have given up on ever living to be a hundred years old.

The horse’s owner wrote about what happened on Facebook, and it did not take long for animal-loving angels to show up, ready to do whatever they could to help the sickly foal.

People from the This Is Houston Shelter who came to your house to meet Meg and give her their whole drink. As soon as they saw her, they knew they had to act fast to help her feel better and stop being so sad and hurt.

Everything was done to honor the pet dog.

It was found that Meg weighed less than five kilograms. The vet who looked at her said it was one of the worst cases he had ever seen. She had lice, infections, was missing half an ear, and was covered in fleas.

Man Who Swore He’d Never Stop Looking For His Lost Dog Finally Finds Him After 4 Years

Michael Joy went through what every dog owner dreads in 2016. His three beloved dogs became disoriented and vanished.

Two of the canines returned, yet Sam the 4-month-old Lab cross was still mysteriously absent. Michael looked everywhere for Sam, searching all of the local shelters.

“I told my wife, ‘Hey, I’m gonna find this dog,’” Michael said. “I never stopped, I always – I even still follow the shelters’ pages just in case he would’ve shown up.”

Michael and his family eventually ended up moving to Kentucky, but he never gave up hope that Sam was out there somewhere. He made regular trips back to their previous home in Georgia, hoping that Sam might still turn up there.

Almost five years passed and Michael still hadn’t been able to find Sam.

But then one day, out of nowhere, Michael received a call from City Dogs Cleveland.“She goes, ‘We have Sam.’ In the back of my mind, I’m going, ‘This can’t be the same Sam!” Michael said.

“So I’m like, ‘Can you describe him for me?’ And she said, ‘He’s a lighter-haired dog,’ and I’m like ‘Where are you and when can I pick him up?’”

The shelter had given Sam a medical exam, and in the process they scanned him and found his microchip. They were then able to trace him back to the Joy family. But then one day, out of nowhere, Michael received a call from City Dogs Cleveland.

Michael drove eight hours to Ohio that same day, hoping that Sam would still remember him. Both Michael and Sam had changed a lot over those years.

“As we get up there and I’m waiting for them to pull Sam out, you can just see the anticipation in my face. I was like a kid on Christmas,” Michael said.

Sam was just as excited as Michael was! He couldn’t stop wagging his tail and jumping all over his dad.

It’s safe to say that Michael won’t be letting Sam out of his sight again anytime soon!

Two Poor Dogs Were Abused by Their Owners, Chained to Each Other and Pushed Into the Street When They Were No Longer Worth It

Citra and Boy were two dogs that had always been together. They were tied together with a thick rope, unable to move freely. They had spent their entire lives in a small backyard, being used for breeding by their owner.

One day, their owner had enough of them and abandoned them on the streets. Citra and Boy were left to fend for themselves, unable to break free from their tether.

They wandered the streets, sad and desperate for help. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with tears, wondering how they would survive in this big, scary world.

As they walked, they saw people passing by, but nobody stopped to help. They were just two dogs tied together, and nobody seemed to care. The days passed, and they grew hungrier and weaker.

One day, they stumbled upon a kind-hearted woman named Ismawanty. She saw the two dogs tied together, and her heart went out to them. She approached them slowly, speaking softly to them, trying to gain their trust. Citra and Boy were hesitant at first, but they sensed that Ismawanty meant them no harm.

She brought them food and water, and they gobbled it up hungrily. She saw that they were both malnourished and in need of medical attention. Ismawanty took them to the vet, where they were treated for their illnesses and given a clean bill of health.

She took them home with her, giving them a warm bed to sleep in and plenty of food and water.

Citra and Boy quickly adjusted to their new life with Ismawanty. They were finally able to run and play freely without the constraint of the rope. They played with each other, wagging their tails happily. They had never felt so loved and cared for.
