Frank, the Happiest Dog Ever
by Rafael BorgesThis is Frank, a 1.5 year old dog that only wanted some love and care to be happy. Now he is so happy that, even when sleeping, he shows it.
I did this video to show how can one change the life a being with only love and care.
When my wife and I spoke with the previous owner, we were sure that he would die in a few days. He was 5 months old and weighed only 6.6 pounds (3 kg).
When we arrived to see him, we saw that it was even worse: the owner had no experience in dog caring, he was locked outside in a 50 ft2 (5 m2) ceramic tiles back area, fed only with adult dog food, shedding excessively and unbearable smelly. His only friend was a torn blanket.
We can't be sure, but we suspect that this mistreatment lead to the worse for him: he became totally deaf. We suspect that an overlooked infection did this to him. I even taught him sign language! Frank has learned several commands, and we are very well adapted to the situation. I'm very proud of it!
When we got him, he was afraid of shadows, glimmerings, peed on everything (including himself), had no tail wagging and was fearful. By the way, until today, he runs for his life whenever he sees a broom....
Now, it's moving to see him enjoying his dreams so much that he even wags his tail, and realising that we saved a life, bringing him happiness.
So please, if you can, spread the adoption idea (and this video). You too can safe a life.
