This small dog has lived a life of abuse and neglect at the hands of her previous owner. The dog was chained up outside the home on the patio. Because of the muck and flooding when it rained, the location was not ideal.
This circumstance didn’t appear to matter much to her caregiver, though, as he did nothing to improve Lady’s living conditions. Animal rights activists from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) attempted to save her, but the owner refused.
“She was kept in a muddy spot that flooded when it rained and was utterly abandoned,” PETA field staff stated in a YouTube video.
They visited Lady for years, trying to convince her owner to give her up. Lady became more withdrawn and sad over time. Occasionally, she stayed home entirely. But after a lot of effort to connect with her and persuade her owner, PETA’s perseverance paid off. Her owner consented to let PETA adopt her, and “her entire world changed.”
The dog abandoned her former life and even her former name after going through a healing process. She was given the name Wolfie von Fluffer Bottom by a family who welcomed her into their home. She obviously loves it because she runs joyfully anytime she sees one of her new owners.
Because of the work of these campaigners and the kind family who took her in, her entire life improved. The video that follows, which is a genuine PETA publication with English text, shows Lady’s transformation into Wolfie and how her situation became better.
Like Wolfie, all abandoned dogs deserve a second chance.
