Some stories weigh heavily on the heart from the very first moment you hear them.
When we were approached by a lady who told us her dog had been kept on a chain for two to three years, we could not stop thinking about him. On a blistering hot day, she reached out asking us to take Bruno because he simply could not live like that any longer. The years tied up had taken a devastating physical and mental toll on him, and you could see how much he was struggling just to remember how to be a dog.
When he arrived, she told us to just give him a cup and a half of food, because that was all he ever ate. Seeing a dog adapt to so little, both in food and in freedom, breaks your heart in ways words cannot describe.
His life on a chain is officially over, but Bruno's journey to full recovery is just beginning. We noticed several concerning spots on his body that look painfully similar to the cancer Spotty fought, and we want to get him to the vet by the end of this week for thorough blood tests so we can catch and treat anything immediately. He also needs to be neutered and caught up on all his vaccinations, as we have no record of him ever receiving proper care.
Bruno deserves every chance at a full, healthy, and happy life where he never has to know the weight of a chain again.
If you would like to help us cover Bruno's vet visit, blood tests, and medical care this week, any support would mean the world to him and to us.
Welcome to your new beginning, Bruno. You are safe, you are cared for, and you will never be forgotten again.
