Sad Homeless Pup Follows Strangers, Nobody Knows Why, Until Someone Follows Him

The world is a very lonely place when you’re homeless and afraid.

You hope someone will notice your plight. You hope someone will have a kind word and maybe a morsel of something to eat.

But sadly, most people just ignore you.

Buzu was a poor stray pooch on the cold streets of Romania and all he wanted was to get the attention of pedestrians.

He obviously wasn’t scared of humans but sadly, most passerby are too busy – or too apprehensive – about going near a stray dog.

Buzu lived in a makeshift cardboard house and spent his days begging for food or a bit of affection.

The only good in Buzu’s life was that makeshift shelter; someone had given him that box, along with a cushion and a bowl of water.

But one day, that all vanished and the distressed pooch was left with nothing!

So, he tried even harder to make friends with anyone who came along, especially those with dogs of their own.

Buzu would follow quietly to see if the owner might have a little something for him, and his ears would perk up whenever he heard a shout or raised voice.

Was someone calling him? No. Sometimes he’d stretch out in the middle of the road, hoping someone would give him a belly rub…but no.

Still nothing. He’d follow people around, quietly and despondently, and nobody ever did anything to help.

Finally, a rescue worker from an organization called Howl of a Dog heard about Buzu. She was the first to follow HIM.

And when she did, she realized everything the abandoned pup had gone through:

His pitiful home had been taken away or destroyed, everyone avoided him because he was dirty and possibly had bugs or diseases, and he was horribly depressed.

She gave Buzu some biscuits and the attention the dog so longed for, and quickly brought him back to the shelter.

The team discovered that Buzu was covered in fleas and also had a minor skin problem due to being on the streets for so long (some of his fur was gone).

But at long last, after enough TLC, the real Buzu sprang forward!

He was a beautiful, happy, energetic pooch. He was the dog he wanted to show everyone on the streets, but nobody would respond when he tried.

Well, now everyone knows. And Buzu just needs his forever home…does any dog deserve it more? 😉
