While taking a stroll through her neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri, a woman encountered something rather unusual.
Secured to a stop sign was a charming little pup who appeared to be completely isolated.
As the woman couldn’t identify any humans associated with this dog, she cautiously approached him, attempting to discern the situation.
Belly Rub Time
As she crouched down, getting nearer to the pup, she couldn’t resist noticing that the dog was raising his leg.
The woman, like any devoted dog enthusiast, instinctively provided him with a gentle belly rub, and the dog relished it!
While she continued showering him with affection, she also reached out to the Stray Rescue of St. Louis (SRSL), Missouri.
Donna Lochmann, SRSL’s head life saving officer, was the one who answered the call. As soon as Donna learned about this delightful little Pit Bull mix, she hurried over.
Upon Donna’s arrival, she was greeted by a remarkable sight. The pup, now named Campbell, was encircled by a bunch of very loving women.
Campbell was in doggo paradise!
However, even after they released him from the stop sign, Campbell was still reluctant to rise.
“As I approached him, he rolled over and lifted his leg. Initially, I thought there was something amiss, but he genuinely just desired a belly rub,” Donna remarked.
And, naturally, if a dog is seeking belly rubs, you provide exactly that.
Donna and her rescue partner spent some quality time scratching Campbell’s belly, earning his trust in order to coax him into their vehicle.
Nonetheless, the situation didn’t unfold as anticipated. Campbell was enjoying the attention so much that he simply refused to get up.
Ultimately, Donna had to gently lift him up and carry him into the vehicle all on her own.
He was a really shy dog. He seemed uncertain about what was happening, but he definitely appreciated the belly rubs right from the start.
To The Shelter
They proceeded to the shelter where Campbell underwent a comprehensive examination.
Because he was such a well-behaved boy, they immediately began searching for the ideal home to meet his belly rubbing desires.
While he awaits his ideal family, Campbell is currently residing with his foster caretakers.
But, fret not – not only does he have a cozy space to rest, he also receives ample affection, attention, and belly rubs beyond his wildest dreams.
Final Word
Always keep in mind that you must not abandon your dogs in the streets if you can no longer provide for them. Simply take them to your nearby shelter and give them the opportunity for a second chance at a caring home. They merit it!
