Owning a dog is never an easy task. For humans, it is comparable to having a kid. It is a big responsibility because once one decides to adopt a dog, they should treat the pet as their own family.
A woman in Texas named Maddy learned about a dog planning to be abandoned by her best friend’s roommate. The dog’s name was Rose, and as per her best friend, the dog had been staying in a crate for several days already. She even experienced not eating at times because her owner did not care about her enough. Because of that, Maddy pitied the poor dog’s situation.
She then decided she had to do something about it. She tried to persuade the owner not to cruelly dump Rose or find a new owner for her, at least. However, the owner still abandoned the dog. That led her to go to where the dog was, and upon seeing her, she fell in love right away.
Since she could not bear seeing Rose in that situation, she let her out of the crate. Maddy was surprised that despite what the dog was going through, she managed to wag her tail and give her kisses. As much as she wanted to adopt her, she could only afford to foster her due to being a broke graduating student at that time. She chose to keep her while she searched for a permanent home for the dog.
Far from her expectations, after a few weeks of caring for Rose, she suddenly had a change of mind. Just the thought of letting the dog go broke her heart. She fought for her despite the circumstances, like having a tight budget and convincing her parents to allow her with the adoption. Fortunately, her parents became smitten with the dog too.
Gone were the days when all Rose did was stay in a crate, not knowing whether or not her former owner was coming back. Because of Maddy, she transformed from being a neglected dog to a happy one filled with love from the people around her.
