Dog’s Left Behind When Family Moves, But She Becomes Someone Else’s Princess

You’ve surely heard the saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Well, that couldn’t be more true than it is in the story below.

A little dog was left behind when her family moved away, but she would become someone else’s princess. And it’s all thanks to a kind neighbor and Hope For Paws!

Hope For Paws received word of an abandoned dog in need and set out. The neighbor of the family who moved away and left the dog to fend for herself was able to catch the nervous pooch and tie her to the porch keeping her from running away. He gave her food and water, but she wouldn’t let him touch her.

But today, everything would change. The dog finally surrendered to the man and the rescuers like she knew her day had come. They took Kona back to the hospital for a bath and checkup.

Kona was exhausted after everything she’d been through and just lied there calmly during her haircut. This was only the beginning of her transformation into a princess. The next step was a forever home.

And that didn’t take long! All clean and healthy but still a little shy, Kona was adopted just a few weeks later. She’s with the perfect family who’d never even think about leaving her behind! 🙂

The doggy “selfie” that’s making its rounds on the internet is from Go Fetch Dog Daycare and Boarding in Ohio, and it’s everyone’s favorite new photo. While not technically a selfie, it sure looks as if the dog in front is the one who took it! 😀

It looks perfect, and the sheer number of dogs partaking puts it over the top.

“All the dogs in that picture know each other really well. They’re all friends. They come to daycare every day together,” Tara, an employee, told The Dodo. “They gathered around the gate and I said, ‘Hey guys! Look at me!’ And I took the picture.”

Then she took another:

Both are pretty good, but the first one is just a once-in-a-lifetime shot!

Then, a Photoshop battle broke out on Reddit. The picture provided the perfect canvas for people to let their creativity flow. Like the dogs imagined as a group of pirates…

And this face swap:

Too funny! 😛

This last story will have you in tears from joy:

Beauty has nothing to do with physical features. If you turn us inside out, we pretty much all look the same. It’s our internal beauty that matters. But for people in Lucky’s life, they couldn’t get past what they saw on the outside. And that was a damn shame!

Lucky suffers from a severe facial deformity. He was born in a puppy mill and then surrendered to a shelter. It was hard to find him a home. People just couldn’t get over what they saw when they looked at him.

Lucky was finally adopted but bounced from home to home, each family doing him a terrible disservice. His first family in Austin kept him outside at all times because he didn’t get along with their cats. Poor Lucky was tied to a tree. He didn’t have a decent place to sleep nor was he given enough food. He was ignored and neglected. Lucky was never shown the love he deserves.

The family decided to surrender Lucky before they moved. They didn’t even want to take him with them. It was obvious that Lucky was NOT apart of the family 🙁

Lucky was adopted again but it wasn’t long before that family gave up on him too. The poor dog named Lucky wasn’t lucky at all.

Then, a social media post changed everything! A shelter volunteer took Lucky to the groomer. The volunteer posted pics of a groomed, handsome Lucky and those pics were seen by the perfect person, a friend of the volunteer, named Jamie Hult. She wanted to meet Lucky right away! Better yet, she wanted to adopt Lucky right away!

“It just happened to be somebody in my dog rescue world, so right away I contacted him and said ‘I want that dog. I don’t even want to foster it, I wanna take that dog,” Jamie told iHeartdogs.

Sadly, Lucky was in rough shape and needed extensive veterinary treatment. He had heartworms and fleas. He was also malnourished. But Jamie didn’t care. She wanted him and wouldn’t hesitate opening up her wallet… and her heart!

Lucky had a long road ahead of him but with proper medical intervention, he made a full recovery!

And with his new home, new life and new human came a new name… Beaux Tox!

“The reason I named him Beaux Tox is because clearly he looks like he needs botox, and that’s okay. We appreciate beauty in all forms. And the dog bills cost me a fortune which is the reason I don’t have botox!”
