]]> A sad-looking dog waits and waits.

He waits outside a hospital and just refuses to move. Hospital staff and patients often try to get her to move, but this pup is determined to stay in one place.

And wait.

Unbelievably, this loyal companion waits for 4 long months for his owner to emerge from the hospital.

At first, most assume the owner is very ill and the hospital just won’t let the dog inside to visit. It is supposed to be a sanitary environment, after all.

But as time wears on, people start to wonder … maybe the news is bad and the lonely pup just doesn’t know it.

And as it turns out, that’s exactly the case:

The dog was owned by a 59-year-old homeless man and unfortunately, after being rushed to the hospital, the stricken man didn’t survive much longer.

Rescuers learned about the orphaned pooch and brought him to a nearby shelter, but the most amazing thing happened:

The dog escaped and ran right back to his favorite spot, in front of the hospital doors!

As resident Cristine Sardella told The Dodo:

“He fled across the city. He walked over 3 kilometers and returned to the hospital.

He would get up to let people pass by, very politely, and then lay right back down again. He was educated and tame.”

But perhaps the most poignant comment was this:

“We have lots to learn from the animals,” she added.

“He waits for him in vain, but the love he has for his owner is eternal.”

Finally, at long last, the dog had to say goodbye to his departed owner, once and for all.

But his story had plucked so many heartstrings; it didn’t take long for him to find a new owner!

The dog, now named Champion, is currently enjoying his happy ending and no pup deserves it more. Dogs really are man’s best friend! 😀

]]> When volunteers at the Harris County Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas opened its doors after Memorial Day, they were met with a shock.

Sitting in an abandoned crate was a very scared little poodle, who obviously hadn’t been shaved in quite some time.

The matted pooch was only about a year old and was in desperate need of assistance, so the rescuers immediately moved to help.

That’s when they noticed the poor pup came with a heartbreaking note:

“Can you please take care of my dog … he’s a great puppy I just couldn’t afford to keep him … 

His name is Lee … he will listen, he will bark, and will not bite, please don’t put him down.

I love him, but I can’t afford to keep him … I haven’t shaved him yet I apologize, but please care for him and find him a home … thanks.”

It’s sad that the owner couldn’t care for Lee, and it’s sadder still that the dog had to sit, terrified and filthy, in a crate … imagine what she must’ve been thinking!

Kerry McKeel, the shelter’s media specialist, told The Dodo that Lee wasn’t in good condition at all:

“Lee was matted and covered in urine when he arrived.

He was very unsure and nervous.”

The note was left by someone who wasn’t cold-hearted or evil, but it was obvious that Lee hadn’t had the best home life.

But the shelter wants everyone to know that while financial difficulties are often a concern, the shelter workers welcome questions, and are ready to help.

As they wrote on Facebook:

“We certainly understand financial hardship, but if there is some small way that we can help keep pets with their people, we want to do that.

Before making that decision to give up a pet, talk to us about your circumstance to determine if we can link you with a resource.”

Thankfully, Lee got a much-needed shave soon after coming inside, and what emerged was a smiley, wonderfully happy pup!

“Lee is an affectionate, very smart and spunky pup,” McKeel said.

“He knows how to sit and play fetch. He certainly went from bow to wow.”

There are already two families interested in adopting Lee, too, so it won’t be long before this adorable poodle will be in a warm, loving home.

If only all abandoned animals had such bright futures ahead of them! 😀
