This dog was taken off the streets and brought to a shelter by a bystander in late January. Even seasoned employees were taken aback by the dog’s actions.
The dog sits by the window all day long, presumably watching for someone to come get him. Every time someone walks by, the shelter said on Facebook, “he stretches his entire body forward, then droops when he realizes the person is gone.”
The dog was certainly not a stray, but nothing was known about its owner until it became clear that he was an elderly man who had just gone away. In addition to losing his owner, the dog also revealed to the shelter that he had lost a lifelong companion with whom he had shared a home.
Social media users were impacted by the dog’s story. There were more than 2,000 comments on the dog’s Facebook post. The shelter requested that people share about the dog on social media. Over 3,000 individuals read the story, which benefited the cause.
The good news was brought in the latter days of January: the dog had been found! The shelter officials had to spend around seven hours reviewing each application before they could find the dog’s owner.
