I wish every person treated their dogs with endless compassion, valuing both their emotions and their wellbeing.
If that were true, no pup would ever be tossed aside or left to suffer heartbreak.
Unfortunately, countless stories still surface about betrayal and neglect, where dogs who only wanted love are abandoned.
Today’s account is about Ruby, a sweet dog who endured misery under a breeder. When she miscarried, she was cruelly discarded in a trash heap.
Alone, injured, and grieving, Ruby lay among piles of garbage and broken furniture, feeling like life had nothing left to offer.
Would anyone come across her and reveal that her future could still hold beauty?
Rescuing Ruby At Her Darkest Hour
Indiana resident Alyssa Carnes first heard about Ruby from her husband, who had noticed the dog resting on a broken couch tossed away with garbage.
A week later, he saw her in the very same spot and realized it was likely the same pup. Saddened, he told Alyssa, who immediately knew she needed to act.
The couple drove over without hesitation. Alyssa’s heart broke when she saw Ruby curled tightly in the trash, her expression filled with despair.
It was clear she had been through unimaginable hardship. Ruby appeared neglected and frail, with her tail soiled and her body underfed. The couple suspected she had been forced into breeding.
They offered Ruby food, gently picked her up, and carried her home to clean and comfort her. The grateful pup responded with affection.
At the vet, the truth emerged. Ruby had suffered a miscarriage, likely the reason she was abandoned. Multiple scars from earlier Cesarean deliveries further confirmed she had been repeatedly bred.
Finally Learning What Love Feels Like
Once Ruby entered Alyssa’s home, she was showered with affection and quickly adjusted to her new surroundings. She returned the kindness by constantly seeking cuddles.
For the very first time, Ruby knew what it meant to be valued for simply being herself.
Her new family spoiled her with tenderness, and she began to flourish. With proper nutrition and care, she regained weight and health. Soon, Ruby looked like an entirely different dog, her joyful smile never leaving her face.
After making a full recovery, Alyssa scheduled her spay surgery.
Initially, Alyssa had no intention of keeping Ruby, but as time passed, their connection grew unbreakable. She realized Ruby was meant to stay with them forever.
Together, Alyssa and her husband made the decision to adopt her. They vowed to give Ruby a lifetime of unconditional love.
Ruby, at last, found the family she had always longed for. Surrounded by people who adored her, she needed nothing more.
