This is a tale of second chances and the strength of love. Additionally, it demonstrates that neither of them has ever lost hope. The dog in this tale had a difficult early life. His owners disliked him and cast him out to live outside. He had a muzzle and was chained. The love and company for which he yearned were not present. And the only time his owners ever paid attention to him was to mistreat him. The town authorities took no action after complaints from neighbors to the local animal control services. The only thing the neighbors could do was to act independently and save the dog, which they did. The dog was adopted by a loving family and given a brand-new life thanks to the heroic efforts of a few kind people.

His only transgression was being a dog, according to the Animal Advocates Society. Evidently, that was sufficient for his owners to treat him in a way that no animal should ever be treated. They chained him up outside their home and taped a duct tape muzzle to his mouth.

So what did he actually do? scratch at the door, says the Animal Advocates Society. He simply desired to be close to his family in order to shower them with all of the love that a dog can bestow. He was instead exiled by his owners to live by himself on their patio made of concrete. The dog’s will to live was damaged by the months and years of abuse and neglect.

He barked hysterically and charged at people if they approached, both of which were blatant indications that he had been beaten. He most likely would have been deemed unadoptable and put down if he had been taken to a pound.
