Florida Family Abandons Their Dog In The Forest With Nothing But A Bed And A Broken Heart

Pets are meant to be our lifelong companions, and when we choose to bring them into our homes, we take on the responsibility of loving and caring for them forever. 

Unfortunately, some people fail to see this commitment. Too often, pets are treated as temporary joys, especially when they’re initially adopted for children. Once the novelty fades, these pets are abandoned, as though they never mattered. 

This is what happened to Hank, a sweet puppy who was found alone in the Florida woods with a broken leg, clutching the few belongings he had left – a heartbreaking sight.

Hank, a cheerful 8-month-old puppy, had been living a happy life with his family. Unfortunately, that happiness was short-lived. 

One day, his family made the decision that they no longer wanted him. 

Rather than considering alternatives, they left him in the woods with just his bed and some old toys.

The most heartbreaking part was that Hank had no idea what was happening to him. 

Despite the confusion and pain, he remained in the spot where they had left him, waiting patiently for his family to come back.

Luckily, Hank’s fortune changed when a compassionate passerby noticed him sitting motionless on his bed. 

Realizing the puppy had been abandoned and needed help, the Good Samaritan immediately reached out to a local animal shelter, Humans and Animals United.

Without hesitation, the rescue team arrived and took Hank into their care.

The rescue team wasted no time and quickly provided Hank with the critical care he needed. They posted an update on their Facebook page:

“Only a puppy at 8 months old, yet has been through so much. His tail started wagging once he knew he was being taken into the veterinary hospital. We cannot imagine why anyone would dump him with a broken leg. Left him with his bed, toys, and food in the woods. Whoever you are, please know that Hank is now safe and will never be hurt again.”

Despite everything Hank had been through, there was something special about him that touched everyone’s heart. 

Even after the trauma, he remained a sweet and friendly pup, eager to bring happiness to someone’s life.

Rosa Fond, founder of Humans and Animals United, remarked in an interview:

“He was nothing but love from the moment they got him. Everybody says that he’s the sweetest dog.”

Unfortunately, Hank’s journey didn’t end there. 

The vet confirmed that his leg had been broken for over two weeks, and he was also dealing with several health issues that would require special treatment and a long recovery process.

The severity of Hank’s condition led the veterinarians to suggest euthanasia as a way to relieve his pain. 

However, the team at Humans and Animals United wouldn’t entertain that idea. They knew Hank deserved another chance at life and were committed to helping him.

Hank began his treatments, and with the constant care, affection, and attention from his rescuers, his spirits were lifted.

Once his heart-wrenching story was shared online, people were moved by his plight, and many generously donated to support Hank’s recovery. 

Thanks to their kindness, Hank underwent his first surgery, and his healing journey began.

He made remarkable progress, proving his strength and determination to overcome every obstacle in his path.

With his fighting spirit and steady recovery, Hank soon reached a point where he was ready for a new chapter in his life. 

He flourished in his loving foster home, eagerly waiting for a forever family to give him the joy and love he so richly deserved. 

I have no doubt that this sweet pup eventually captured someone’s heart and found the forever home he had always dreamed of!
