Even now, cruelty towards animals stands as one of the most significant issues troubling dogs across the globe. As of now, there are approximately 200 million homeless dogs worldwide, based on WAF statistics.
A considerable number of these dogs find themselves abandoned in horrific locations, such as dumpsters, forests, or along bustling roads, left to survive on their own.
Samu is a young pup who shares a fate similar to his fellow stray companions. He was discovered on a heap of garbage wearing a collar, searching for his family to return. Sadly, they never appeared…
From Trash To Love – Samu’s Heartbreaking Tale
Takis, an incredibly kind-hearted animal enthusiast and a volunteer at Takis Shelter, discovered Samu positioned right next to a large mound of waste. Alone and frightened, Takis had a plan in mind!
“He’s very frail… look at his beautiful face,” remarks Takis.
While he encounters abandoned dogs in various locations almost daily, this compassionate individual was heartbroken to witness Samu wandering without any direction.
Moreover, the tiny pup wore a collar, which suggested that he once belonged to a family.
Takis allowed him some time to understand that he was there to assist him, and it wasn’t long before this adorable, white pup became more at ease.
He emerged from his shell in the presence of his rescuer and another dog, as though he were attempting to convey: “Thank you” for rescuing him from this dreadful plight.
Once he was confident that Samu had settled down sufficiently to be taken to the shelter, Takis gently approached him, lifted him into his arms, and placed the abandoned dog in the front seat of his vehicle.
Then, the most incredible event occurred!
Samu instantly made himself at ease in the front seat, right behind the steering wheel. It barely took seconds for this forsaken pup to adapt to the new situation and the realization that he was finally secure.
It felt as if he understood that from that instant onwards, everything would be just fine!
Evolving Into The Biggest Lovebug
Upon hearing about his tragic tale, an affectionate woman chose to foster Samu and welcome him into her caring home.
The fortunate news was that she had previously fostered two other dogs from Takis’ shelter – Mumia and Lola – both of whom were also healing from incidents of animal cruelty.
“Mumia was chained for over a decade, Samu was left in the trash, and Lola was abandoned, too,” Takis shared on his Facebook.
Samu quickly metamorphosed into the cutest lovebug imaginable, as he rapidly learned to “dog” alongside his foster siblings. He relished every moment with his new pack, and before long – he became the most exuberant member!
After his brief journey in a foster home, Samu received a wonderful opportunity to find a permanent family! He was adopted into a warm home where he could at last experience the genuine essence of companionship and love alongside his family.
After enduring all the struggles he faced, Samu was finally fully transformed into a joyful dog, and he now revels in being his family’s darling – the very role he was always meant to fulfill!
