A little dog was found roaming near a railroad station by the Howl Of A Dog rescue team. He was scared, heartbroken and sad, living on the cold streets.
It was too risky to attempt a rescue there, they were worried that he could run and get hit by a passing train, so they followed him, trying to redirect him towards a safer place. It was quite a marathon as he ran away each time they approached him.
But he eventually understood that they are only trying to help him, or maybe the smell of the yummy treats finally reached his nose. He was limping and they also noticed a scar near his left eye so they took him straight to the veterinary clinic.
When they scanned him for a microchip they discovered that he had an owner! They hoped a happy dog-owner reunion would follow, but when they contacted the registered owner he told them he does not want the dog back and asked them to take him.
Apparently, Bobi (this is the name given by his owner) ran away from home and traveled quite a long distance, being found approximately 10 miles away from his home. We’ll never know why he left home and why he wasn’t wanted anymore, but we do not want to judge anyone, we’re just thankful that they were able to save him.
His vision is completely lost in the left eye, an old scar located near the eye indicates that he had been injured there, possibly hit, so that’s how he lost his sight in that eye. But the good news is that vision in the right eye is not affected and he sees well with it. He’s very gentle, loving and obedient and he is still playful and curious. It’s like he’s living now the puppyhood he missed.
Bobi was held at Howl Of A Dog’s care in Romania for a time until he was adopted 4600 miles away to US.
Here is a video of Bobi’s first week at his forever home:
