Harris - the full journey, his incredible transformation - Stray Rescue of St.Louis

[@cindybecerra1965]

Monsters that do this to innocent animals, should not be allowed to roam free, should never be able to breed, and should be stripped of all their American Rights, be cause they are evil, they should be jailed forever in a dark basement.

[@rosemariepascone5290]

I am so sorry that this sweet warrior left us way to soon. But I know he is running free at rainbow bridge. Where there is no sickness,no pain. Only beautiful fields and lakes to run and rest in. I was so sorry to see that you passed . 💔. I will remember your story forever . 🌈🥺🕊♥️🙏😇🐾

Run free Harris. Absolutely wonderful story.

[@57Arkle]

From someone who has virtually lost faith in human nature thank you for the amazing rescues and the incredible healing of bodies and minds of all the precious souls like Harris. So many would have assessed his injuries and decided on euthanasia, instead you ploughed everything and more into his recovery and blessed him with 3 years of happiness and love. It is so sad Harris couldn't stay longer but what a wonderful 3 years I'm sure he had. Your team are just wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🇬🇧 Fly high Harris 💜 🐾🕊

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Harris got the blessings he so deserved and needed. His life ended well and he will influence others to be warriors and try since he tried and won.

[@crazycat7678]

Whoever did this needs to be punished severely he had the will to fight and wasn't giving up but his body had enough🤬 he never got to experience the love of a forever home but at least he died being loved and spoiled and knowing that some humans are good. RIP Harris we are sorry humans failed you

[@handleBadpuppy]

Who ever did that to him !!! Needs to feel his pain 100 times more, thank goodness he came through and live his best life 🥰😍

[@lagurl1997]

I remember Harris' face lying on that cardboard, just staring - not looking at anything; gaze was so empty. Then the tireless care and love surrounded him 24/7 and he realized what it means to be loved and he answered that so fast :) I remember when he first ate on his own I was like "OMG he wants to live now!" since an appetite is *so* crucial to have for recovery and a great sign the mind and the body finally agrees. Thank you for this, it's so sweet to see him run around. RIP Harris, you were such a strong and positive example of what a properly cared animal can recover from.

[@ALLOUTWildlife]

that first picture made me cry. I'm so glad Stray Rescue got him. He lived the rest of his life knowing he was loved.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

@@ALLOUTWildlife Glad for Harris, and every dog deserves to know their worthy of love and care. THAT's really all they ask for and they give so much more. I love giving a dog the happy life they need, they'd give us all that they have. RIP Harris, you got what you needed and that's so wonderful.

When I can, I send a donation to this wonderful group, doing incredible work on the behalf of animals, our fellow creatures. Small donations add up and give back to animals that otherwise might never get healings or know true love and care. Please donate any way you can - donations, prayers, sharing and participating in helping the voiceless. They give us SO much and forgive us when we fail. Good Boy Harris, good boy !! 💖💖💞💞💝💝

"Wrapped in a blanket and discarded like trash." That was how some low life coward left Harris and in horrific condition. I just wish someone read the story of Harris, knew who did this to him and reported them. However, the focus now is on his transformation and all the people who gave him such loving care. It was wonderful to see him return to health and so happy. It was sad to hear he passed away after all the effort to make him well but you gave him some wonderful years. I wonder how old he was. I will remember him and those beautiful eyes.

I'm so glad dogs are able to put the past behind them so fully once they are in loving arms.

[@jackieroberts6316]

I was feeding a dog that lived behind a grocery store. Went to lunch with 2 guys from work and asked them to drive around so I could drop food off. They were picking on me for being a softy till "Jake" came out of the woods and they got silent. Finally caught him with the county dog catchers help. He had been shot and had to have his left rear leg removed. I was lucky he lived with me for 10 years. Your hearts are far larger and stronger than mine. I would be emotionally broken doing what you do.

Those monsters who hurt Harris don't even know the blessings, healings and love they missed out on because they failed to see the wonderful creature's dogs and pets are. They missed it, but Harris knew. Harris knew people could give so much to him and he fought to get it. And Harris did get his rewards, his human kindness before he passed and continued on, over the Rainbow Bridge. Good dog Harris ! Good dog !!
