The most important thing in the world to a dog is their human family.
Most of them spend their entire lives surrounded by human presence and love. So removing that from them could definitely be expensive.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to doggo in today’s story.

When Janine Guido, founder of Speranza Animal Rescue in Pennsylvania, got a call about a stray dog in Harrisburg, she knew she had to go find out what was going on.
When we finally found the dog, he was trying to find scraps of food in the trash can. When Janine tried to approach him, he got scared and ran to the front door of his old house.
He was completely confused and wondered why his family didn’t open the door and give him food like they used to. The poor puppy couldn’t understand why they didn’t just pack him up and take him to another house.
When Janine tried to approach him again, he got up and started scratching at the door. He was still hoping someone would let him in. dog standing
Even when Janine tried to entice him by offering him food, he was not interested. He didn’t want to think about anything but his past life and his passions. It took some time for the dog to understand that no one was home and no one answered the door.
He finally relented when he heard Janine’s voice again telling him she was there to help.
“It sounds dumb but I swear he knew what I was saying to him. He literally came over and sat down and allowed me to leash him,” said Janine.
On the way to the rescue, with tears in her eyes, Janine tried to explain to the dog what had happened and assured him that he was in good hands now.
At The Rescue
The dog, now named Cupid, needed some time to process what was going on.
Even though he was happy to be surrounded by dogs and humans who finally cared about him, Cupid still couldn’t let go of what had happened to him.
He has been nothing but the sweetest gentleman since coming to the rescue. You can tell he’s still really confused. But he is happy to meet everyone with a wagging tail.
Cupid is being well taken care of at the Pennsylvania Speranza Rescue. As soon as he came in, he was taken to the vet so that he could get a thorough checkup, making sure that he was as healthy as he was cute.
Once all of that is finished, he will be ready to look for his forever home – one that will love and adore him just like he deserves.
I don’t think that [a forever home] will be hard to find because he truly is the sweetest guy.
Final Word
Seeing what a loyal and incredibly sweet boy Cupid is, I also believe that he will find a forever home in no time.
However, let this story serve as a reminder that it is not okay to just abandon your dog like this. After all the time and love your dog spends with you, he deserves so much more.
If you are, for whatever reason, unable to care for your dog any longer, please take him to your local animal shelter and give him another chance at happiness.
