An abandoned puppy found floating in a box in a Texas river navigated a dangerous course that led him to a loving forever home.
Kayak was found floating in a box in a Texas river before two good Samaritans saved the underweight dog.
The shelter staff took in the puppy, named him Kayak, and immediately began veterinary care to save his life, according to Suzie Chase, community relations officer at Austin Pets Alive! Kayak is making the most of that chance. After his successful treatment for parvo, he joined a wing of the shelter with other puppies available for adoption — where he was calmly resting when Austin resident Ascencia Barajas arrived with her 3-year-old daughter, Ryanne.“Kayak was just calm, cool and collected,” Barajas, 30, told TODAY. “He was sitting there with his big ol' ears that went to the side. They were just adorable.
On the car ride to his forever home, Kayak sat next to Ryanne’s car seat the whole time. When they got to the apartment, he seemed to know he was home.
