Isn’t it amazing how dogs, even when they’re going through the hardest times of their lives, still have hope? It’s like they know that good times are ahead of them no matter what.
That’s exactly what happened to the dog in today’s story. After being abandoned, he knew that was no reason to give up his smile because he felt that his life was about to change for the better.
Abandoned but not afraid
It is my honor to introduce you to Goose, a 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix. whose spirit continued to shine even in his lowest moments.
One fateful day, Goose was found tied up to a closing with a heartbreaking note from its former owners, saying that they didn’t want him anymore.
The two passers-by who approached him, wanting to caress him, did not even think that he was left all alone since he never gave up her radiant smile.
Upon discovering his sad fate and how his spirit never gave in, one of them decided to be more than just a passerby. She extended a loving hand to him and offered to take him in.
He really likes people. When he sees someone approaching him, he just hopes they like him.
Lindsey Hawkins said: Goose’s New Foster Mom.
Hawkins said the note she found on Goose read:
I don’t have time. Just take the dog.
And that’s exactly what she did!
But first, she took him to the local vet because it was quite dirty and completely covered in ticks.
With this in mind, the team of vets caring for Goose decided to give him a thorough cleaning. over a few days so that he doesn’t get too stressed.
Whatever his condition, The goose never stopped smiling.
He never showed any aggression during this whole time. I think he knew we were just trying to help him.
If you thought this dog’s smile couldn’t get any bigger, wait until you see that smile when he finds out he’s ready to go home.
New life
Lindsey was so excited to take him home and be his temporary foster motherbut Goose had something else planned.
The entire ride home he kept trying to climb from the back of my SUV to the front seat and eventually onto my lap.
When they finally arrived home, Lindsey discovered that The goose spent its entire life outside. It was he was too afraid to go near furniture and avoided hardwood floors at all costs.
It was basically limited to the living room carpet or the hallway carpet.
However, It didn’t take long for Goose to adjust to his new surroundingsIn just a few days, he became inseparable from his new brothers and sisters, who understood a flock of chickens and a senior therapy dog, Zeus.
When Lindsay saw how well they got along, she knew he was going to stay.
The day we decided he was going to become a permanent resident. [Goose] He stood up on his hind legs, placed his front paws on my husband’s shoulders, and buried his head in his chest, as if saying, “Thank you.”
After just two weeks in his new home, Goose completely changed his attitude towards life insideHe loves jumping on Hawkins’ bed like it’s his own, and he no longer has difficulty walking on his parquet floor.
Last word
Despite all the hardships this dog has faced, he has never given up that infectious smile. It is truly inspiring to witness his unwavering spirit and resilience.
He even plans to follow in his brother Zeus’ footsteps and become a therapy dog. I’m sure he’ll do great at it, spreading comfort, joy, and love with his unwavering spirit.
