Dogs are man’s best friends, but who are dogs’ best friends?
Dogs who are living on the streets or in animal shelters often don’t get the love and attention they need. This can lead to behavioral problems and make it harder for them to be adopted.
This story has to do with when a volunteer found a homeless pet dog and also the amazing picture she took. The picture is handled to summarize trouble that is very actual for far a lot of dogs. Living outdoors, homeless, chilly, and also lonesome. A heart breaking photograph of a lonely dog hugging a teddy at the side of the road has sparked controversy in Houston surrounding stray animals in the city.
A homeless dog was rescued by the volunteers at Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project. It’s a nonprofit organization with people who are passionate about the welfare of the stray dogs in the area.
They’re even willing to spend effort, time, and money on the dogs. The volunteers recognize the city’s problem with strays.
One volunteer from the Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project found a stray dog on the street and took a picture. This one picture captures the essence of the problem in the city of Houston. It’s a lonely dog struggling to survive and so lonely because its only companion is a stuffed animal that can’t really provide him the warmth he needs.
This picture was posted on the social media page. It immediately went viral as dog lovers were saddened by the photo. The dog maybe with a dirty teddy bear. Yet he cuddles with it as he sleeps comfortably on the street.
The dog could not be separated from his toy and spent every second with it. The shelter workers are guessing that it’s because Sisu either had a similar toy or his owners had one just like that.
“I know that one of the first things someone is going to comment is “why did we not pick the dog up?”. On one feeding route, we can feed up to 50 stray dogs. Of those 50 dogs, we are lucky if we are able to save one because the sad truth is, that there are not enough foster homes to place these dogs into. This dog is in relatively good condition and sadly, when people see a dog in this shape they are less likely to step up to foster. So what we do is mostly post the dogs that are in (ᴡᴏʀsᴇ) shape and need immediate medical attention. This dog, without a doubt, depicts the plight of the dogs in our city.”
Now, he and his favorite toy got adopted and found their forever homes!
