It’s heartbreaking to think someone would abandon a puppy, but thankfully, there are compassionate individuals ready to rescue these unwanted animals.
Recently, a dog was found tied to a picnic table in the rain until a kind soul rushed to save him.
Stray Rescue of St. Louis shared a video of a small dog tethered to a bench in a park’s picnic area. The poor pup was alone, soaked, and scared, constantly yelping as if begging for help.
Fortunately, a rescuer named Donna arrived and freed the little dog. The pup quickly warmed up to her, sensing he was finally safe. “He was so brave when we first approached, but then as soon as we got in the Jeep, he curled up on Donna’s lap and let out a deep sigh—that sigh said so much,” the rescuers at Stray Rescue of St. Louis recounted.
“We’ve got you, gorgeous baby. We’ll get your darling self completely patched up in no time.”
The dog was named Wilbur by the rescuers. They noted that Wilbur was “covered in ringworm” and gave him medicinal baths to treat it.
Just days after being rescued, Wilbur found a loving foster home. His foster mother told The Dodo that he was “doing great” and described him as a “snuggle bug,” noting that all he wanted was love.
While it’s unclear where Wilbur came from, it’s evident he wasn’t receiving the care he deserved. But now, his future looks bright.
“He’ll never have to be lonely or muster up that much bravery again,” Stray Rescue of St. Louis shared on Facebook.
