When I first heard a puppy barking behind a construction site door, I knew I had to help. Armed with sausages, I coaxed the scared pup to come out. Hungry and hesitant, he approached the tasty treats with caution. Gradually, he became braver as he enjoyed the sausages, although he still shivered from fear or the cold.

Once home, I found fleas and a runny nose on him, but his gentle behavior was heartwarming. After some medication and a cozy spot with air conditioning and underfloor heating, he slowly warmed up and seemed to relax. The next day, he was still a bit down, so I offered him canned food, which he devoured happily.

Over the next few days, the puppy grew more lively and even made friends with a newly adopted kitten. However, he appeared sad, and I feared he missed his family. I took him back to the construction site to search for his mom. After much searching, we found his sister, and they happily reunited.

Despite the challenges, including illness and treatment for parvovirus, both puppies recovered and thrived. They grew into vibrant, friendly dogs. Adopting a pet means committing to their well-being, and it’s rewarding to see them flourish.
