    ‘The purest form of appreciation I’ve felt after 22 years on this planet is my dog licking my face.’: A woman who rescued a dog riddled with neglect, vows to ensure the animal's recovery, safety, and a future filled with unconditional love and cuddles

    Pretty much all doggo adoptions have at least an element of the doggo saving their new pawrent and the pawrent being somewhat saved by the doggo. But today we have had the good fortune of getting our paws on one heck of a story. A story filled with so much good and genuine love and adoration that we had to share it with you as soon as possible. For, as the tittle suggests, these two souls needed each other more than anyone could have imagined. And their coming together spelled the beginning of not only a wonderful friendship, but of the healing of their scolded souls.

    This is the story of how a pupper can save your soul, this is the story of how much dogs being traded on social media need help from incredibly loving and responsible pawrents. This is the story that will make you ball your eyes out and start searching for your next pupper on social media.

      I rescued a dog from a random woman last week. I've never owned a dog, but I have a stable job and time to spend with one, so I went for it. I didn't want a pure bred. I didn't

      exchange numbers and the next day I'm picking this dog up at a local coffee shop parking lot. She hands me the dog without so much as a word, hops into her car quickly, then drives away.

    • See, this is an interesting point. Shelters spend hours and a great deal of resources making sure that their puppers find pawfect homes. But the reality is that many doggos are simply passed along through social media without a single care or question. Meaning that it is so much more important to rescue these doggos before they end up in truly terrible homes.

      The odor the dog is emitting is immense. I notice a blue harness around her body, caked with ps. Fh, hanging from the rigid blue harness. This dog looks me in the eyes with one of the most GO d

      heartbreaking looks I've ever seen. My soul f' g ached. My stomach dropped. It's in a f.. g pit as I'm typing this. This dog is a healthy 55 pounds with a harness built for a G ed toy.

      I'm holding my dog in the parking lot and I don't know what to do. I have no connection, no money invested, but I start crying. I just f g cried my eyes out. I'm holding my dog, standing tall and my eyes are pouring. I feel weak.

      Weak that something I've never known could hurt me like this. I'm not a bh, in the sense that my dog is now my responsibility and the fact that I have you to love now is why I'm getting you

      wiped away the ps and dried bd. I held her as I sanitized what I could, and she licked my face. She licked my face so much. The purest form of appreciation I've felt after 22 years on this planet is my dog licking my face.

    • Oh goodness, this is quite the tear-jerker of a story. It is just so heartwarming to hear about such tender love and care from both sides of this story. And most of all, that there was no fear, not a big struggle to overcome. These two souls simply needed each other and found each other to be more than enough.

      At this point I don't know what to say, other than I just needed to vent. I'm filled with a variety of emotions, and I needed on see my thoughts on paper.

      She wags her tail when I scratch her ears. She makes little grumbly cooing sounds when I rub her belly. She likes to jump up on me when she sees me, and that's okay. You are mine to love, and I am yours to love.
