‘He won’t stop crying, even while being pet.’: Emotionally unstable stray pupper with no chip rescued by caring couple after walking the streets for weeks, leading to a search for his original home and a whole lot of cuddles and boiled chicken

Doggo rescues are really tough to hear about sometimes. Unlike their feline cousins, who are somehow still rather adapted to living a life as a wild creature. Doggos are devoid of most of their once natural instincts and, when they are discarded and left to fend for themselves, are usually about as capable as a ten-year-old with Google Maps. Which is obviously impressive for their age, but still not all too capable.

Which makes the beginning of the story we have lined up for you today all the sadder, considering that the neighborhood in which this darling doggo was found had security guards who just ignored the poor pupper, even though they had seen it walking around hopelessly for weeks before it was rescued by our brave rescuers. What they found when they rescued the doggo was a sweet creature who had no intention of causing anyone harm and just wanted a home to live in peacefully.

    This dog was walking around looking a bit scared. He approached us crying and we let him come in. He's done a few things that make us think he's sort of domesticated, but

    asking around the neighborhood some security guards told us that he's been walking the streets for the past week or SO.

    He won't stop crying, even while being pet. We took him out and walked around the street to see if he recognized a home (he has an improvised collar as seen in the video, we took it out since it seemed to be itchy)

    and while he was walking he stopped crying, but if we stopped walking for a few seconds and he came back by us, he started crying again. We tried playing with him and that also works, but as soon as he's

  • Oh gosh this is simply heartbreaking. How could such a sweet soul be cast away from his family home like this? And at that, what in the heck is wrong with those security guards? They see a dog walking around the area that they are meant to be securing and do nothing about it? Surely they should be protecting both pawed and non-pawed beings equally no?

    distracted from the ball, he cries again. He's not eating the food that we offer him, he's waving his tail, but he keeps it pointing down. He's somewhat playful.

    Looks like he doesn't want to be here, but we also don't want to leave him out in the street This is our first experience with a stray, so we don't really know how to act, specially during

    Update: he spent the rest of the night resting, calmed and quiet. We tried giving him boiled chicken as

  • Well, well, this is one heck of a fancy doggo to be left out walking the streets. To be fed solely on fresh meat sounds like this wonderful pupper likely came from a good home who loved him enough to go to the effort of making him fresh food every day. Which truly begs the question as to why he ended up on the streets in the first place.
