This happened two nights ago at Haven Rescue. The young dog is Chance a two-year-old Pit Bull who was seized from a fighting operation last week. He was used as a "bait dog" the dog fighters use to train aggressive dogs. Covered in
fresh wounds. Absolutely traumatized.
Won't eat. Won't move. Just shakes against the kennel wall. The older dog is Moses-a twelve-year-old Saint Bernard who's been at Safe Haven for four years.
Staff put them together because the facility was overcrowded. Security footage from 11:47 PM shows Moses waking up, looking at Chance shaking against the wall, and slowly getting to his feet. Moses is massive-over 180 pounds-but he approached so gently. Laid down right beside Chance. Draped his huge head across Chance's shoulders. By morning, Chance had stopped shaking. Was pressed against Moses's side. Actually sleeping. Shelter director told us: "Moses has comforted seventeen scared, abused dogs in four years. He's never been adopted because he's too old, too big, too expensive to care for. But he's saved seventeen broken souls by just lying beside them and showing them what safety feels like." Sometimes the ones nobody wants carry the greatest capacity to heal the ones nobody could save.
🔴#URGENTE#LaSerena Con profunda preocupación, vecinos del sector de #LasCompañias piden ayuda por una perrita que permanece completamente sola en el antejardín de una vivienda cerrada con candado.
TEMEN POR SU ESTADO DE SALUD.
🥺
Su humano faltó varios días de casa por asuntos de trabajo. La reacción del perro al reencontrarse con el no tiene precio. 🥹❤️
