While walking through the forest, a hiker encounters an unexpected sight: a small puppy lies on a dog bed surrounded by its toys.
He immediately calls an animal protection organization for help and then carefully approaches the dog.
What he then sees breaks his heart!
As the dog’s finder finds out, Hank isn’t just surrounded by his old toys.
He also has a bag of dog food with him – tightly closed. The eight-month-old puppy has no chance of getting food to save it.
When the animal rescuers show up, they are completely surprised at how calm the puppy is.
Hank surprised everyone with his behavior
You always have to reckon with everything and would not have been surprised if he had had a defensive, fearful or even aggressive attitude.
Instead, as they christen the dog, Hank doesn’t budge.
Rosa Fond, the founder of Humans and Animals United, told The Dodo:
“From the first moment he radiated nothing but love. Everyone could see he was the dearest dog.”
That makes the fact that Hank was abandoned in the woods all the more incomprehensible.
The little puppy had a bad injury
Arriving at the vet clinic, the reason for Hank’s apathy becomes obvious: the little four-legged friend has a broken leg.
As is established in the clinic, the injury occurred two weeks before he was rescued.
When the rescuers showed up, Hank had no strength left to even react to the situation in any way. He was in too much pain.
It quickly becomes clear: Hank needs an extensive and expensive operation.
Hank gets a second chance
Rosa Fond, the founder of «Humans and Animals United», immediately agrees to take care of the cute four-legged friend.
Her organization covers the surgical costs and publishes Hank’s sad story on Facebook, where several animal lovers and friends have already reported.
They all wanted to adopt Hank, but Fond said to The Dodo:
«Hank still has a little journey ahead of him before he can be adopted. But for now he is safe with us and we will make sure he never gets hurt again!”
Little Hank, left to starve in the woods, truly had a guardian angel with him. Now he will surely get the future he deserves!
