Adopt. Don't Shop.

by GemmaDavies

I used to be a good boy, I was the happiest puppy around. Then my human left me, it was a while till I was found. I was so loved when I was little, they played with me all day. But as I got bigger, I was always in their way. We went for a drive one morning, we drove so long and so far. But when we stopped, only I got out the car. They drove away and left me, I didn’t understand. I thought we were going to the beach, to play in the sand. I waited and I waited... But my human didn’t return. Realising you’ve been abandoned is such a sad fact to learn. I don’t know what I did wrong or why I wasn’t wanted any more. After a while struggling on my own, I was found skinny and sore. I was taken to the Oahu SPCA, I was nervous and scared. But the humans were so nice. They smiled and truly cared. They helped me forget being left in the dirt and the dust. They showed me compassion and built up my trust. They even found me a new family to call my own. They won’t ever leave me, I finally have my forever home. I’ve never been so content, I was lost and now I’m found. I am a good boy, I am the happiest dog around. Save A Life. Adopt. Don’t shop.
