A few nights ago, while scrolling through YouTube, I stumbled upon a devastating video that truly broke my heart.
It showed a kind man finding a frightened puppy alone in the middle of the road, his fur completely covered in blue paint.
I’ll never understand how some people can be so cruel, as this was clearly the work of human hands.
Thankfully, the man who found the puppy was compassionate, offering kindness and mercy just when the poor animal seemed to have lost all faith in humanity.
As the man approached the puppy on the road, he could tell the animal was visibly uncomfortable.
The paint likely irritated his skin, causing him to constantly scratch himself, roll on the dusty ground, and cover his eyes with his paws.
His fur was completely painted blue, with yellow streaks over his brows. The thought of someone using the pup for their cruel amusement truly angered the man.
This puppy had trusted people with all his heart, only to have that trust shattered.
Although visibly frightened, the pup still trusted the man who found him. It was as if he could sense that this stranger meant no harm.
The man approached with love, getting down on the ground and gently petting the pup’s head. Then, with great care, he scooped him up and took him home on his bike.
Upon arriving home, the man introduced the pup to a couple of his resident cats.
He fed them all, giving the pup a few extra kibbles since he probably hadn’t had a proper meal in days.
The man also provided some water and gently petted his new canine friend on the head, still heartbroken by the cruelty the pup had endured.
Once the pup had eaten, it was finally time for a bath. The man placed him in the bathtub, applied some dog shampoo, and began gently scrubbing the paint off his small body.
Although the pup was shaking, he didn’t protest – understanding that he had to endure the water to be clean again.
The man scrubbed and scrubbed, using more shampoo with each wash. Despite the paint slowly coming off, it took several baths before the puppy was completely clean.
Once they were done, the man carried the puppy into his living room to dry him off.
The pup, now white with black spots on his ears, nose, and left eye, seemed relieved that most of the blue paint was gone.
Although a faint bluish hue still lingered on his head and back, the man was confident it would fade in a few days.
After drying him off, he offered the pup some more food, feeling grateful that he could help this poor soul in need.
The pup met his savior’s other dog, overjoyed to have gained not just a new owner but a new canine friend as well.
By the end of the video, he looked content and ready to begin the next chapter of his now happy life.
