No dog should ever endure the heartbreak of rejection and abandonment. Sadly, countless pups still face this cruel reality.
Pablo, a sweet little puppy, was one of them. He was discovered in a ditch in Ten Mile, Tennessee, alongside another dog. While the other pup bolted in fear, Pablo seemed to sense that these kind strangers were there to help. He bravely allowed them to scoop him up and take him to safety.
The rescuers noticed something was wrong with his eye, though they weren’t sure what had caused the injury. Without hesitation, they brought Pablo home to recover and started searching for someone who would give him the love he deserved.
Pablo’s Luck Changes
The family who found Pablo began spreading the word that the little pup was in need of a forever home.
One evening, while enjoying a night out, Yolanda and Andrew Bissel overheard a conversation about Pablo. The couple had been thinking about adopting another dog, and the moment they saw his picture, they were smitten.
They invited Pablo into their Tennessee home, where he quickly blossomed under their care. He formed an instant bond with them and rarely wanted to leave their side.
The pup also got along beautifully with his two Blu Heeler siblings, but the biggest surprise came when he befriended Stewie, the family’s rabbit. The unlikely duo became inseparable, with Stewie often acting like the leader of the pack.
A Puppy With A Fighting Spirit
Soon after the adoption, Pablo’s new family took him for a veterinary check-up. The vet estimated him to be between six and nine weeks old. Although his injured eye didn’t require immediate treatment, surgery to remove it might be necessary in the future.
Despite this, Pablo never let his condition slow him down. He raced after his siblings, wrestled with Stewie, and ran around the house with boundless puppy energy.
Sometimes, his mom would even forget he only had one eye. But on occasion, his clumsiness showed—he would misstep or bump into something when prancing about.
The only time his confidence faltered was outdoors after dark. Yolanda suspected that his limited vision made him uneasy in low light.
A Dream Home For A Special Pup
Pablo had finally found what he had been waiting for all along—a family who cherished him exactly as he was. He enjoyed long walks, playtime with his doggy siblings, and cuddles with Stewie the rabbit.
Yolanda shared Pablo’s story on TikTok, where it quickly captured the hearts of millions. Videos of the pup romping around with his furry siblings and hopping along with Stewie spread joy far and wide.
Thanks to love, patience, and a forever home, Pablo turned his life around.
His story is a reminder that even dogs who have been abandoned and injured can still find happiness and live their best life.
