Few things are as unfair as a puppy ending up with an irresponsible, selfish pet owner. Dogs love their families unconditionally and with all their heart, and it’s heartbreaking when people return their love with selfishness and callousness.
The beautiful puppy named Cupid was heartbroken when his family decided to move and abandoned him. Cupid the puppy sat there, watching his beloved family pack up the house, load it into the car, and drive away. He didn’t know what was going on or why he wasn’t allowed in, he couldn’t do anything.
He only knew that this was his home, and maybe his family would come back after he waited a little longer.
Fortunately, one of the neighbors came forward and called Janine Guido, founder of Speranza Animal Rescue, to report that Cupid was sleeping alone on the porch.
“All I was told was his owner moved away and left him behind,” Guido said.”I asked several people if they knew anything about the dog, and they just said, ‘They moved.'”
When she first tried to approach him, Guido came to pick up Cupid, who retreated to his safety. She watched him jump up desperately, clutching at his front door, almost begging to let him in. It really broke Guido’s heart and she knew she had to help him.
She tried to feed the poor puppy to keep him close to her, but he ended up just running away. After a 30-minute chase, Guido figured out how to help, she just told him it would be fine. Until Guido explains to him that everything will be fine.
“It sounds stupid, but I swear he knows what I’m talking to him,” Guido said, adding that after reassuring Cupid that everything would be alright, he asked her to leash him.
On the way home, she continues to tell him what happened because he understands her.
“He’s been the loveliest gentleman since he came to the rescue,” Guido said. “You could tell he was still confused. But he was happy to see everyone wagging their tails.”
Soon, he will be ready to start looking for a forever family. While it’s sad to think about the fact that some people will abandon their puppies, it’s so hard to think of all the wonderful people like Guido who are working hard to make sure these abused animals get the love and care they really deserve. People are excited.
Once Cupid has found his forever family, he will finally have a family worthy of his love, and the ability and willingness to reciprocate that love.
