The vast majority of stray dogs once had families. They become stray dogs because they are accidentally lost or abandoned by their owners.
They can't speak, It's hard for us to know what a stray dog has experienced in the past. However, by analyzing their subsequent behavior, we can still roughly infer some.
Suzette Hall, the director of a foreign animal rescue center, explained: "Those pet dogs that are accidentally lost may wander around and wander around. And those pet dogs that are abandoned by their owners will only stay in abandoned places." There is a place to wait. ”
A stray dog that Hall recently rescued was abandoned by its owner.
Hall named the stray dog "Thunder". The origin of the name is related to its rescue experience.
Puppy Thunder is guarding the fire hydrant
Puppy Thunder was first discovered by nearby neighbors. It has been lying next to the fire hydrant for several days and refuses to leave. must be waiting for it. The owner returns.
This little white dog is very timid and is particularly wary whenever someone approaches. Neighbors tried several times to lure and capture it, but without success. Finally, Hall was called to help rescue the puppy.
Soon, Hall, who has many years of rescue experience, brought her equipment to the fire hydrant where the puppy Thunder was lying. Facing the unfamiliar Hall, Lei Lei still refused to accept help because he was too scared.
"He really wanted to trust me," Hall said, "and he wanted to be close to me, but he was too scared."
Puppy Thunder ran back to the fire hydrant
Hall set up a treat trap across the street to make it easier Take puppy Thunder back to the rescue center.
The puppy Lei Lei was attracted by the snacks and walked across the street, but he was still very vigilant. After noticing the problem, he hurried back to the fire hydrant.
The snack trap was not successful.
It was getting dark, and Hall had no intention of giving up, so she wanted to try a more tempting bait.
Hall went to a nearby convenience store, bought several hot dogs and sausages, and put them into the trap.
"I drove the car far away to make him think I wasn't there. When I came back, he was already in the cage." Hall said, "The temptation of the hot dog was great, after all, he was very hungry. ."
Puppy Thunder was finally rescued
After successfully rescuing Puppy Thunder, Hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, she noticed that Thunder in the cage was eager to return to the fire hydrant and wait for the owner who had abandoned him there.
Hall said: "It remembers all the little love it received from its family. I feel like it doesn't want to leave that fire hydrant, just in case it can wait until the owner comes back."
Why did you name it "Thunder"? ?
Thunder's entire rescue process happened to be during a thunderstorm. When Hall took Thunder in the car and left, the local area was hit by the strongest storm in years. If the capture had taken five minutes longer, both the already frightened puppy and the rescuers would have been caught in a downpour.
"We named it Thunder because we drove away and we had the worst thunderstorm," Hall said. "It's terrible."
It's still unclear who abandoned Thunder and why. But Hall believes it's more important to focus on its new life after being rescued.
"My favorite sound is the car door closing," Hall said, "because it signals the end of a dog's past and a new future."
Puppy Thunder is currently under the care of a veterinarian, They will then be placed in a loving foster home.
Soon after, Thunder will be up for adoption, and the loyal pup will eventually find a responsible family in return.
