Thank you for your kindness. I just lost an old, ill rescue dog and it was a privilege and heartfelt honor, to love and care for him in his last days. His name was Mike, a MinPin , all of 8# soaking wet. Mike had been tortured for over 2 years after his original, elderly person died. The house and dog went to her family. He was housetrained but not allowed potty pads. So he was kicked so bad he had broken ribs and left hip. Then rather than get rid of Mike , he was locked in a windowless, unheated garage for over 2 years. When Mike was finally rescued by local animal control, he was hairless, nearly blind and starving. Mike made it to IMPS rescue and his abusers were prosecuted to the tune of a $5,000.00 fine. Thank the lord for people who step up and save these dogs and all other animals from human cruelty.

He left her locked in his dirty flat, no food or water, and no chance to escape, and he never told anybody about her, he was quite happy to have let her starve to death. Fortunately, passers by, heard her barking and called the police. Luckily enough, she's a tough old girl, doing amazingly well, and such a good dog, luv her to bits 😍

That's is truly heartbreaking. So many soulless people in the world. So glad Mike was loved his last years. Bless your heart.

RIP Pheenie. Thank you HFP for giving her happiness and love at the end of her life!

I'm sitting here crying for what that poor baby lived through all those years. The fact that not one person tried to help her just boggles my mind! At least she had a few months of comfort and love.

[@gabriellakaterina6782]

I know... unbelievable... can't understand how not one person tried to help her... Makes you wonder about "humanity"?!

[@craigbeatty8565]

They did. They fed her. That’s better then nothing.

@@gabriellakaterina6782 yes seriously 😒 My God almost everyone is hardened in these past few “spoiled” decades. I hope they humble themselves long enough to help a baby like this next time.

Shame on everyone who knew how Pheenie was living, and for 9 years, did nothing. People work in junkyards...people knew she was there. If Persephone hadn't happened to see her, she would have died alone, nameless, and unloved under that dumpster 5 months later. I'm so glad that instead, during those 5 months Pheenie got to experience love, gentleness, kindness, safety and security. She learned that she mattered and that her life was important. When she passed away in her soft bed by the fire, with someone who loved her beside her, I hope that all she felt was peace and that love. Sweet dreams beautiful girl. ❤️

At least she didn't die alone and she had all the love she needed!!

[@davidcorkran3720]

This had me crying like a baby. I'm glad she had 5 months of love but still a sad story. Thank you all for rescuing her and her foster family for giving her a dignified end of life. 😩😢😟

[@michellebilodeau3882]

This is why my husband and I agreed: RESCUES ONLY

[@frogganna]

Don't be sorry. You guys gave her 5 wonderful months of hugs and kisses and a warm bed. Food and water without having to beg or hunt which she couldn't do any longer. I wish I had the funds to donate. Im the one who's sorry. All I can do is what I've already done which is like and subscribe. Thank you for helping these sweet souls.

[@TamaraBeinlich]

Eldad this just broke my heart that people could ignore a dog in need for 9 years! I cannot believe her owner never contacted anyone to help their dog after deportation. In the end she found safety and love but 9 years boggles the mind.

Ok I’m a grown ass man and I cried my eyes out 🥲 kinda confusing when you watch something that warms your heart and also breaks it all at the same time. I’m going home to cuddle my pup. Bless you all for what you do!!

She had warmth, food in her belly, softness under her body and 5 months of love 💗. Poor old girl. Deserved so much more but her 5 months were everything to her. RIP sweet soul 🐶🌈❤️

Poor girl...Thank you for saving her and have been there for her. 9 years alone in a such place. Why didn't people react sooner? I can't understand. She barely had known happiness and love and she died...I'm so sad and literaly crying watching this.

Please, check out another recent video from Hope for Paws, regarding setting up a will/trust for your pets. Making sure they are cared for, even when you’re gone, is a life saver for orphaned pets.
