When you come across a dog abandoned and left tied to a fence, it’s hard not to feel a pang of sadness for these loyal creatures. This was exactly the fate that befell Trap, a 90-pound Pitbull in Brooklyn, New York, left to fend for himself when his owner callously abandoned him.
Caught on Camera
Trap’s ordeal was captured by surveillance cameras near the store where his owner left him. After tethering Trap to the fence, the owner snapped a picture and casually informed the store worker that someone had tied up the dog. Unbeknownst to the store owner at the time, the dog in question was Trap, and the owner swiftly disappeared, leaving Trap confused and anxious, watching every passerby with hopeful eyes.
A Rescue Mission Begins
Thankfully, the store owner, upon reviewing the footage, recognized the severity of Trap’s situation. He took Trap in temporarily and then contacted Mr. Bones & Co. Animal Care Center in New York City for assistance.
From Neglect to Care
Mr. Bones & Co. acted swiftly, providing Trap with his first thorough medical examination and a safe temporary home. They discovered Trap was suffering from severe muscle atrophy and hip dysplasia, necessitating urgent surgical intervention. Despite the initial hip replacement surgery failing, Trap’s resilience shone through. He underwent a second surgery and months of physical therapy, along with dental surgery to address neglected teeth.
A Journey to Healing and Hope
Throughout these trials, Trap maintained his spirit, showing gratitude for the care and attention he received at Mr. Bones & Co. His recovery journey was supported by compassionate foster homes, including one with Kristin Nicole, who quickly fell in love with Trap despite his size and troubled past.
A Forever Home Found
Initially intended as a temporary foster, Kristin’s bond with Trap grew stronger. Moved by their shared journey of rehabilitation and recovery, Kristin decided to adopt Trap permanently. Her dedication and love for Trap were evident in her meticulous care during his rehabilitation, ensuring he received the best possible chance at a happy, healthy life.
A Happy Ending
Trap, once abandoned and anxious, found his ultimate happiness with Kristin. Her decision to adopt him meant he would never again face uncertainty or neglect. Kristin’s commitment to Trap underscores the transformative power of love and care, turning a mistreated Pitbull into a cherished family member, bringing joy and fulfillment to both of their lives.
