What should have been a beautiful day filled with happiness and lots of tail wagging turned into a day filled with confusion and sadness for a beautiful puppy named Corn Flakes.
Instead of enjoying the sunny Michigan weather by the river with his family, Corn Flakes felt alone as he observed his surroundings.
The sweet puppy didn’t understand that he had been abandoned by his family.
Although his owners were nowhere to be found, Corn Flakes still believed he would spot them around the corner.
He hoped they would run to him, arms outstretched, and give him the sweetest of hugs.
A passerby decides to help
Luckily, a kind human noticed the puppy running around while all of his belongings – a crate, blankets and two bags of food – were scattered on the floor.
They approached the dog, tied it in its cage and contacted the Shiawassee County Sheriff’s Officeask for help.
As the dog lay in his cage, he had a confused look on his face.
Deputy Kirt Stechschulte responded to the Good Samaritan’s call and immediately rushed to the aid of the abandoned dog.
Having heard that the puppy was reserved and hostile, Stechschulte acted cautiously after arriving at the scene.
As soon as the MP put a leash around the dog’s neck, he was pleasantly surprised.
The dog, later named Corn Flakes, was so excited that someone had come to his aid that he started rolling around and wagging his tail.
“When I tied the dog up, he became very excited and very friendly towards me. I thought he was just scared when we approached him at first,” Stechschulte said The Dodo.
The MP took the abandoned dog to Ingham County Animal Control and Shelterlocated in Mason, Michigan.
Receiving lots of love in a shelter
The staff took care of him and made sure he had everything he needed. Corn Flakes felt comfortable and safe in his bed, and he began to relax.
Thanks to the affection and cuddles he received from the wonderful staff, the sweet dog couldn’t help but smile.
There was not a trace of sadness or confusion on Corn Flakes’ now beaming face.
As the puppy sometimes behaved ridiculously, the staff began to teach him to be a good boy.
Corn Flakes hopes to find a wonderful family who will love him deeply and never abandon him. He needs someone who will be by his side, who will exercise with him and help him control his impulses.
“He can be very strong at times, so a tolerant friend would be best. He’s been through a lot, so we hope there’s a family with the patience and sense of humor he needs to be his best self,” An animal rights activist wrote about the puppy on Facebook.
The rescue team is very understanding towards Corn Flakes. They will continue to shower him with affection until he finds a wonderful family that will give him all their love.
