Stray dogs dream of finding parents who will hold them and show them that they are worthy of love.

No matter how long they spend on the streets, they never give up their desire to find happiness and change their lives. Buddy, an adorable stray puppy, continues to search for a mate, hoping to make his dreams come true.

One day, as she was wandering around town, a building she stumbled across caught her eye. The lonely pup decides to stay nearby, hoping the people inside won’t chase him away.

A good man brings home a lonely puppy

A man named Ryan found a cute dog near his workplace. When he stroked it, the puppy wagged its tail. He was happy to have met a good person who showed him kindness. The beautiful smile on the puppy’s adorable face melted Ryan’s heart. He fell in love with the dog and took him home. When they arrived at the family’s home, Ryan opened the door and the puppy nestled on the front porch. He was too scared to cross the threshold and enter the house. Ryan carried the dog, later named Buddy, inside the room, where the dog lay on the ground. Ryan’s wife, Tracy, accepted him and invited him to her home. Buddy was too shy and kept lying on the ground staring at them with charming eyes. The couple hoped that their love would help him overcome his fears.

Ryan carried Buddy to the bathroom and he and Tracey gave him a great bath. They noticed that the pup had patchy spots on his fur.

Tracey took Buddy to the vet and he had a complete medical checkup. The vet informed Tracey that Buddy’s patchy spots were caused by mites and the pooch was prescribed medicine. 

He was scanned and he didn’t have a microchip.

Gaining Buddy’s Trust

The whole family, including the couple’s son, Noah, tried to win Buddy’s heart. 

During the first few weeks, Buddy stayed in his crate. His family hand-fed him and talked to him. They often entered his crate and stroked him. They wanted to shower him with love, but Buddy was still shy.

The couple already had two dogs, and their pup, Sissy, didn’t like Buddy. The two canines growled at each other whenever Sissy approached Buddy’s crate.

Tracey felt happy when she noticed that one family member succeeded in gaining the dog’s trust.

“There was one person he started opening up to… my son, Noah.  And in the next several weeks, they just spent time together. And then their relationship just kept evolving. If I could describe Buddy and Noah’s relationship, two peas in a pod,” Tracey told The Dodo.

Buddy loved cuddling with Noah and he became his favorite human. The pup covered Noah in kisses and showed him how much he loved him.

As time went by, Buddy relaxed. He began snuggling with Tracey and Ryan. 

Buddy Lives His Best Life

The whole family fell in love with his sweet personality. He was no longer the timid pup. He was now a happy dog who had a lot of love to give.

“He’s a crazy ball of energy who loves attention, but he also loves really, really hard. He was the missing puzzle piece to our family,“ Tracey added.

After realizing that Buddy became a permanent member of the family, Sissy accepted him, too. The two pups started getting along.

Buddy loves his new life. He enjoys running in the yard with his doggy siblings. He feels like the happiest dog in the world because his dream of finding a loving family came true.
