An adorable puppy gives the sweetest hug to a woman when she realizes that she is finally being rescued
In the middle of a rainy day, a small dog named Chowder believed he had found a shelter to protect himself from the weather; a garage in an abandoned building that had been turned into a waste dump.
A couple living in the area saw the small animal as it crawled under a mattress to take shelter from the rain, the husband went out to throw out the trash and found the dog trying to protect himself from the weather.
Donna Lochmann, Stray Rescue St. Louis rescuer told The Dodo:
When the husband left, he noticed that this white dog had found shelter under this corner of a mattress … and gave him some food and water.
Dog gives the sweetest hug to the woman who saved him
The man immediately contacted the Stray Rescue of St. Louis shelter who came to pick up the 4-month-old white dog; he surprisingly he was very confident.
Donna added:
When we got out [of the car], he ran towards me. He was the friendliest little one. He wasn’t scared of us or anything like that. I think he was really happy that someone was being nice to him.
As soon as the woman put a strap around her neck, Chowder was very excited, he lifted him in her arms to put him in the car and the little one clung to her happily.
The rescuer tells:
He got in and sat on her lap and just snuggled into her. He had his head on her shoulder and he just buried her face in her arm. He was very grateful that he was warm and that people were nice to him.
The sweet puppy clung to her rescuer the entire journey to the shelter, hugging her tenderly, and it seemed like he understood that she was finally safe. Already in the shelter the playful and curious personality of the little one blossomed. He was very happy when he saw people and more so if they approached with toys.
Chowder is now in foster care where he is learning how to be an indoor dog and how to hang out with people. Now he only remains to recover from his injuries to find a definitive home.
His rescuers are sure that the family that adopts this sweet white puppy will have a factory of limitless hugs and cuddles for a long time.
