Charlie fell in love with Pops immediately, despite the dog’s dire state when rescued. Pops was previously used just for breeding under cruel conditions, and her health was so fragile that survival seemed uncertain. However, Charlie was determined to help Pops fight for her life. Day after day, Charlie visited the vet, nurturing Pops back to health, gradually transitioning from daily to weekly visits as Pops began to show signs of improvement.
The breakthrough in their relationship came about six months after the rescue, when Pops approached Charlie for a cuddle—a significant gesture of trust from the dog who had never experienced kindness before. Pops had never been on a walk or interacted with other dogs in a friendly manner before Charlie rescued her. These firsts were monumental for both Pops and Charlie.
Charlie also introduced Pops to new experiences, like being a therapy dog in an Elderly Care Unit, which brought joy not only to the patients but also cemented Pops’s role as Charlie’s beloved “baby.” Despite Pops’s traumatic past, which left her scared of certain sounds and actions like the jingle of a collar, she began to enjoy her new life. Charlie’s love for Pops only grew as she worked to provide a safe and loving environment, eventually moving to a tranquil village in Kent to give Pops, and other dogs she rescued, a better life.
As Pops aged, the thought of losing her became a painful possibility for Charlie, but the love and transformation they shared affirmed the irreplaceable bond between them. Charlie’s dedication shows the profound impact of love and care on animals who have suffered abuse.
