Owning a dog is hard work, however. This is a demanding role that requires tireless efforts. In return, you get the best friend anyone could ask for.
And this is exactly why NOT everyone should own a dog! If someone doesn’t have time to take care of their pet, then they shouldn’t adopt one.
This is the story of a dog whose cruel previous owners left him inside a doghouse when they abandoned him
Bo’s In A Horrible Condition
Bo had been rescued by the Street Dog Rescue in Oklahoma, and when he was found, he had a whole range of health problems that needed treatment.
His owners had heartlessly abandoned him in a dog house, and he had been by himself ever since.
According to Faith — one of those who rescued — Bo was indeed attacked by coyotes. He’d never been to a vet, nor before hand. He had mange, everywhere, all over him.
He looked like he had not eaten in days, they gave him some food. Based on Faith’s interaction with the rescuers, he knew that he just wanted someone to love him.
He then went into his dog’s house and literally would not come out. That was when the rescuers knew they were going to have to extract him.
They got him out of there, and then he crawled under the house. Again, they tried nudging him out gently, but he wouldn’t move.
Bo was stuck under the house, and it took them about 45 minutes to get Bo out, Jardine said. Faith said: We managed to get him out eventually. Enter Pyr Paws and Fluffy Tails – the rescue he ultimately got.
Bo’s Road To Happiness
As he recovered, Bo was transported to an animal hospital in Oklahoma, where he was treated for his mange and given food to help him gain weight.
The first time his new mom, Patricia, saw his picture, his appearance surprised her. She said: “He looked so awful that, actually, I at first thought he wasn’t even a dog.”
Slowly, Bo got better and looked a lot healthier. A couple of months down the line, he transformed into a new dog.
The rescuers believed he deserved a good owner, as Patricia felt like she could manage that because she’d worked with rescue dogs previously.
Bo wasn’t in his new home completely, just yet. It took him about six months to really understand that this was his house, Patricia said.
This, too, would change over time, as he would become the most thoroughly happy, best little explorer dog!
And she adds: I just love him, and I am very grateful that I got him.
At least Bo did get an opportunity to start his life up again. Patricia was loving and patient with him— aware of his need to trust and feel safe in her home, even though his history of abandonment made him shy around new people.
