23 Dog Adoption Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity
"This is a story of a rescue — not just that I rescued him but that he also rescued me.
Sammy was found in a forest when he was one-year-old, emaciated and starving. Although the 'before' picture doesn't show it well, he was only 15 pounds when he should have been twice that amount. The shelter thought he was abandoned, because he wasn't wearing a collar or [have a] microchip when he was found. This is often the case with beagles — owners don't realize how much work they are and just let them go thinking they can survive on their own.
So at the age of 14, I adopted him. He changed my life completely. He is the only thing in my life that was constant — through changing schools, moving to a different continent, my father dying suddenly, and moving across the world again to attend university — Sammy has been there with me every step of the way. He's help me overcome depression and debilitating grief.
The 'after' picture says it all. He is now 9-years-old, this photo was taken at my graduation. I had just found out that I got a scholarship to do a Master's degree in Animal Welfare. Sammy inspired me to dedicate my life to helping animals. So in a way, he's not only rescued me, but he's rescuing countless animals in the future too.
