There is nothing that dogs wish more than to feel infinitely loved by their humans. As their parents, we relish seeing their eyes filled with love and the way they wag their tails as soon as they greet us at the door.
Our dogs know that they mean the world to us and that we adore them, too.
Unfortunately, there are numerous owners who dump their dogs and deny them the right to feel cherished and loved. The canines feel betrayed because the people whom they consider their family make them feel unworthy of love.
Today’s story is about a blind dog named Teasel who felt let down by her family whom she trusted unconditionally.
Her merciless owners dumped the pup by the road without the slightest concern for what would happen to her next.
Teasel curled up on the side of the road, feeling confused and terrified. Her heart didn’t want to give up hope of hearing the familiar voices of her owners calling her name again.
Heroes Come To Save Teasel
As soon as Laura Myatt, the rescuer at Sadie Dog Rescue, received a video and images about a blind dog who was dumped on the side of a road, she went to look for her.
When Myatt came to the location, she found the abandoned dog, later named Teasel, lying under a bush by the road.
Myatt’s heart became filled with sadness after she saw how terrified and let down Teasel felt. The pooch kept her head bent, and she had a sorrowful and confused look on her lovely face.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted man fed Teasel for days.
According to him, the faithful dog didn’t move from her spot, not even when it rained. She kept believing that her owners would take her home.
Myatt approached Teasel and caressed her head, but the doggo shied away. The rescuer felt brokenhearted and wondered whether the dog ever received love from her owners.
Myatt gently secured Teasel with a leash and drove her to Sadie Dog Rescue.
Helping Teasel Open Her Heart To Love
The rescue staff received Teasel with open arms, trying to console her and give her much-needed love.
They removed ticks from her fur and prepared her a comfortable place to relax.
Teasel was gentle toward her rescuers, but she was still frightened. She didn’t look for human touch.
Myatt felt sad to see a dejected look in her eyes, and she hoped that with time, Teasel would start trusting them.
“I’m heartbroken for her, I just pray we can enable her to enjoy the rest of her life 🙏🏼 She’s safe and loved but she deserves the world,” Myatt wrote in a Facebook post.
Her friends continued pampering her with care and showering her with love, wishing to help her discover how beautiful life can be.
Two weeks after her rescue, Teasel wagged her tail whenever she heard Myatt’s voice.
Her rescuers took the pup to the vet for a medical checkup.
Unfortunately, at her first appointment, the vet revealed that Teasel possibly had a metastatic mammary tumor, but more testing needed to be done to get more information.
After about a month, Teasel began coming out of her shell and revealing her adorable disposition. She started warming up to Myatt and her other human friends and soaking up all their cuddles.
Myatt shared on her Facebook that the staff took Teasel to an eye specialist. Sadly, the doctor said that the pup’s vision couldn’t be restored, but that she adjusted very well.
The rescuer also shared that the delightful canine would need to have her left eye removed due to glaucoma.
Finding A Home Filled With Love
Luckily, Teasel didn’t have to wait long to find her forever home.
A wonderful woman fell in love with the pooch the moment she saw her and decided to become her forever mom.
She will be by Teasel’s side and dote on her while the pup recovers from her surgery.
Before she left for her forever home, the sweet dog said goodbye to her human friends who were there for her when she needed them the most.
The rescuers were overjoyed because their sweet girl found her happily-ever-after.
She will finally receive all the love that she was supposed to have all along.
I feel thankful both to the Good Samaritan who fed Teasel after she was abandoned and to her wonderful rescuers who gave her a new chance at life.
