Couple Noticed A ‘Deer’ In The Woods But Soon Realized It Was Something Else Entirely

It was an ordinary walk through the woods for this couple who were just enjoying their time when they saw something that surprised them.

At first, they thought it was a deer from a distance, but quickly realized that it was actually a stray dog who was just wandering around.

When they found this out, they quickly notified a team of rescuers, so they could come and pick him up. They agreed and were on their way.

A Really Tough Rescue

The rescuers spent hours searching for the lost pup. After all, he was in pretty dense woods, and finding him was not going to be easy by any means.

When they finally caught up to him, they noticed that he was really friendly, so they offered their help. He gladly accepted and the rescuers took him back to their car.

The pup was in pretty serious condition. After taking him to the clinic, the veterinarians quickly realized that he had a lot of problems.

His kidneys were struggling, he was dehydrated, and the veterinarians had to put him on IV until he recovered enough for an X-ray.

They also found out that he was about three years old and weighed only 27 pounds. As time went on, he was starting to eat a bit more and the fluids were helping. He was getting stronger.

With enough time and care, the rescuers saw that he was doing much better, so they performed the necessary tests on him and found out that his health markers were going up.

So, they decided to transfer him to a home where he would be cared for by a really kind person. He will still receive examinations regularly so they can monitor his health.

Bill, the man who saw the dog in the woods, decided to foster the pup, now named Billy, along with his wife in their home.

The two of them will be just great for this pup, as they have already shown once that they have the desire to help.

They gave him food regularly and took him out to play in the sunshine. Billy was so happy with them and he started wagging his tail more.

Bill and Krista were emotional when this first happened. It meant that he understood these people wanted only what was best for him.

His weight was coming back and he was starting to look better. So, his parents bought him some toys and he was really happy to have them.

I think it’s also important to mention that he had the sweetest dog sibling, Remi, who was always there for him, and the two of them would play together whenever they could.

It was so heartwarming to see just how much progress he has made in such a short time, and all of that is thanks to all the amazing people who helped him.

He went from being a malnourished pup wandering around in the woods to a happy pup with a loving home in such a short amount of time.

While we don’t know if Bill and Krista have made the decision to keep this pup, we do know that he is in a great place with people who will make sure that he gets to live the best life possible.
