When a man decided to go fishing on an early weekend morning, he thought it would be just a regular day.

As soon as he reached his regular fishing spot, he noticed a dog lying by the edge of a river all by herself.

Understanding that she was in rough shape, the man immediately stopped what he was doing and decided to help the pup.

Rescue Mission

At first, the man tried calling the pup, hoping that she would approach on her own. Unfortunately, as soon as the pup saw the man, she became quite timid and shy, walking further away.

The man clearly saw that this pup was extremely malnourished, and he knew that he needed to get her food.

He quickly headed down to the nearby store and got her some yummy food, hoping that she would start trusting him.

Luckily, the pup gathered the courage and got closer to the hooman in order to eat the food. This gave the man the opportunity to see the sad state of this pup.

She was very dirty and even had patches of fur missing because of the wounds caused by dermatitis.

The man tried hand-feeding her, hoping she would finally understand that he was there to help, but the dog would only take the food from his hand and walk away so that she could eat it.

Knowing that gaining her trust would take some time, the man decided that the best thing to do for the time being was to make her little space as comfortable as possible.

He went to the store and bought her some necessary items, such as food, water, bowls, and a comfortable pillow.

One Day At A Time

The man proceeded to visit the pup every day and spend some time with her so that she would become familiar with him.

However, since she was living on a small piece of land surrounded by water, the man was afraid that he didn’t have too much time because the water may rise at any moment.

One day, he sat with her for three hours straight, trying to convince her to go with him, and finally, she decided to listen.

As soon as he got her in his arms, the man took her to the vet for a well-needed checkup.

The vet explained that she was suffering from malnutrition as well as mild dermatitis. After being cleaned up and given some medication, the man was able to take the pup home with detailed instructions on how to care for her.

As soon as they arrived at the house, the man prepared a nice place for the pup as well as a yummy dinner.

The pup was still very afraid and didn’t seem to understand what was going on, but that was soon about to change.

Road To Recovery

After spending two weeks with the man, the pup started understanding that he was only trying to help her get better.

Since the man followed the doctor’s orders very carefully, the pup started to recover.

After a month, this once sad pup completely transformed into the sweetest girl ever.

The man decided that he could no longer live a life without her by her side, so he adopted her. Now, they spend their time going on fun adventures together, enjoying yummy food, and constantly being by each other’s side.

The pup completely forgot about her dark past and fully embraced her new life full of love and adoration.
