When my wife left to visit her sister, I never imagined she would return with someone who would change our lives forever. She walked in carrying a gentle soul with the saddest eyes I had ever seen. Later we found out the truth. This poor boy had been tied behind a car and dragged. His paw pads were raw, worn down so badly that every single step must have felt like fire. 💔
Those first days were tough. He needed little boots just to step outside and most of the time we carried him in our arms. Yet through all that pain, he still wagged his tail and leaned on us as if he already knew he was finally safe.
It has only been two weeks and our world feels completely different. He follows us everywhere and curls up against us every chance he gets. He always wants to touch, always wants to be near, almost like he is still learning that love is real. And we cannot imagine it any other way.
His past was cruel but his future is full of light. What was once a broken dog has now become the heart of our home. We may have rescued him, but the truth is, he rescued us too. ❤️🐾
