It takes a patient and loving person to understand the true nature of a dog and love them anyway. The reality is that dogs require work. And sadly, many irresponsible and self-centered people only consider their own needs and desires when adopting a pet.

One of the rescuers, Faith, shared with The Dodo: “Bo had been attacked by coyotes. He had never been seen by a vet and was covered in mange.” The rescue team fed him and it was evident that he had not eaten in a long time. From the way she interacted with them, Faith could tell that she deeply craved affection.

After eating, Bo retreated to his stall and refused to come out. The rescue team realized they needed to physically remove him. They managed to convince him to come out of the shed, only for Bo to hide under it. Faith and her team tried to gently retrieve him again, but he resisted.

It took him about 45 minutes to finally get Bo out from under the house. He was then transferred to the rescue organization Pyr Paws and Fluffy Tails. During his recovery, Bo was treated at a veterinary clinic in Oklahoma for his mange and was nursed back to health.

When Patricia, his future owner, saw his photograph for the first time, he was shocked by his condition. But over time, Bo’s health improved significantly. A few months later, he transformed into a healthier and happier dog.

The rescuers believed he deserved a dedicated owner, and Patricia, with experience with rescue dogs, felt prepared to take on the responsibility. Although it took her about six months to fully accept his new home, he eventually adjusted and became the happy puppy he was always destined to be.
