There is nothing that dogs desire more than to feel endlessly cherished by their humans. As their guardians, we take delight in witnessing their eyes brimming with affection and the manner in which they wag their tails the moment they see us at the entrance.
Our dogs understand that they are invaluable to us and that we cherish them as well.
Regrettably, there are many owners who abandon their dogs and deprive them of the right to feel valued and loved. The dogs experience betrayal because the individuals they deem their family make them feel undeserving of affection.
Today’s narrative revolves around a visually impaired dog named Teasel who felt abandoned by her family whom she trusted without reservation.
Her unfeeling owners left the pup by the roadside without any regard for what would happen to her afterward.
Teasel huddled by the roadside, engulfed in confusion and fear. Her heart refused to lose hope of hearing the familiar voices of her owners calling for her again.
Heroes Arrive to Rescue Teasel
As soon as Laura Myatt, the rescuer from Sadie Dog Rescue, received footage and images of a blind dog abandoned on the roadside, she set out to locate her.
Upon arriving at the site, Myatt discovered the forsaken dog, later named Teasel, resting beneath a bush beside the road.
Myatt’s heart filled with sorrow as she observed how frightened and let down Teasel appeared. The pup kept her head lowered, displaying a sorrowful and bewildered expression on her beautiful face.
Fortunately, a compassionate individual provided food for Teasel for several days.
According to him, the loyal dog remained stationary in her location, even during the rain. She continued to hope that her owners would come to take her back home.
Myatt approached Teasel and gently stroked her head, but the dog shyly withdrew. The rescuer felt heartbroken and speculated whether the dog had ever known love from her owners.
Myatt carefully secured Teasel with a leash and transported her to Sadie Dog Rescue.
Assisting Teasel in Opening Her Heart to Affection
The rescue team welcomed Teasel with open arms, attempting to comfort her and provide the affection she desperately needed.
They removed ticks from her coat and arranged a cozy space for her to relax.
Teasel was gentle with her rescuers, yet she remained anxious. She didn’t seek out human contact.
Myatt felt disheartened to see a defeated expression in her eyes, and she hoped that with time, Teasel would learn to trust them.
“I’m heartbroken for her, I just pray we can help her enjoy the remainder of her life 🙏🏼 She’s safe and loved but she deserves the world,” Myatt expressed in a Facebook post.
Her friends continued to shower her with care and affection, hoping to assist her in realizing how wonderful life can be.
Two weeks post-rescue, Teasel began wagging her tail each time she heard Myatt’s voice.
Her rescuers took the pup to the veterinarian for a health assessment.
Sadly, during her initial visit, the vet indicated that Teasel might have a metastatic mammary tumor, but further testing was required to gather more information.
After about a month, Teasel started to emerge from her shell and displaying her charming personality. She began to warm up to Myatt and her other human companions, relishing all their cuddles.
Myatt shared through her Facebook that the team took Teasel to an eye specialist. Unfortunately, the doctor stated that the dog’s eyesight could not be restored, but she was adapting quite well.
The rescuer also reported that the lovely pup would need to have her left eye removed due to glaucoma.
Discovering a Home Brimming with Love
Fortunately, Teasel did not have to wait long to discover her forever home.
A remarkable woman fell in love with the dog the moment she laid eyes on her and decided to become her permanent mom.
She will stay by Teasel’s side and pamper her while the pup recuperates from her surgery.
Before departing for her lifelong home, the sweet dog bid farewell to her human companions who supported her when she needed it most.
The rescuers were thrilled as their beloved girl found her happy ending.
She will finally experience all the love she was meant to have from the start.
I am grateful to both the Good Samaritan who nourished Teasel after her abandonment and to her amazing rescuers who granted her a new lease on life.
