Dogs are very special animals. They can make us laugh, give us company, and even protect us. They are known as “man’s best friend” for many good reasons. But what happens when a dog is left alone, especially after being with a family?
This story is about two dogs that had to face something very sad. Imagine a pup, your fluffy friend, waiting for you to come back home, but you never do. This can make the pup feel very lonely and confused. They might wonder, “Did I do something wrong?”
In a place called Fresno, California, there was a big fire in a house. After the fire, two dogs were left all alone. Their family didn’t come back for them. These two dogs were a big Great Dane and a strong Mastiff. They didn’t know what to do next.
The neighbors saw these two dogs and knew they needed help. So, they called a group of people who help animals in trouble. This group is called the Fresno Humane Animal Service.
When the helpers arrived, the big Great Dane came to say hello. He was very big but also very friendly. The helpers saw another dog, the Mastiff, lying on the ground. She looked very sad and couldn’t get up.
Jessie, one of the helpers, said, “She looked so sweet but so sad. We knew we had to help her right away.” They decided to bring the Great Dane to their car first. Then, they carefully put the Mastiff in a special box to take her safely.
The two dogs trusted these kind people. They let the helpers take them to a place where sick or hurt animals get better. This place is like a hospital for animals.
At this animal hospital, the dogs were checked by a doctor. The helpers also found out that these dogs were used for making baby dogs and then left alone. This made the helpers very sad, but they didn’t give up.
Another group of people who love Great Danes, called One Dane At A Time, helped too. They made sure the dogs got all the care they needed to get better.
Erika, who started One Dane At A Time, decided to take care of these two dogs herself. She said, “I knew I had to help. These dogs needed someone to love them.” Erika knows a lot about Great Danes and was not worried about having two big dogs in her house.
After staying with Erika for two weeks, the dogs started to feel happy again. They began to play and their tails wagged a lot. This was a sign they were feeling better.
Erika and the helpers believe that soon these two dogs will find a forever home. A home where they can relax and be loved. Erika hopes these dogs will find a family that likes quiet times just as much as they do.
No matter where these dogs go next, we know they will be happy. Because now they are loved and cared for, and they will never be left alone again.
This story shows us how kind people can be to animals in need. It also tells us about the power of love and how it can change lives, even for dogs who have been through a lot.
