As humans, we often consider happiness and what it takes to live a more fulfilling life. We believe that many material things would make us happy, but that usually isn’t true.
Sometimes, if we want it, our joyfulness can be found in the simpler aspects of life. Adopting a dog in need is definitely one of them.
There are so many of them that are living on the streets and giving any one of them a chance can not only make their life so much better, but ours as well.
Such was the case for Lily, a woman who noticed something strange outside of her house. When she realized it was a dog, she knew she had to do something.
Rafael Finally Gets Help
Meet Rafael. He is a sweet stray dog who has lived a very rough life and has struggled to overcome his solitude for a long time, but to no avail.
After many days of wandering, he tried to find at least somebody who would offer him a helping hand, but most people just ignored him.
As time went by, he became more desperate and started to lose hope of ever finding a good family.
However, just as it looked like things were going to get worse, a kind woman saw Rafael’s misfortune and rushed to help him.
When she spotted him through the window, Lily immediately bolted outside and rushed to check on this adorable pup.
Upon examining him, she found that he was really sick and injured. He desperately needed medical attention.
Lily realized that he was already relaxed enough in her presence, and he allowed her to take him to a nearby clinic.
She carefully picked him up and carried him all the way to the vet. After they arrived, the vet thoroughly examined the dog and did what she could to treat his wounds.
While it will take time to heal, Rafael was in no immediate danger. This meant that Lily could take him home where she could care for him.
Rafael Got Everything He Ever Wanted
She continuously watched over him and made sure he was getting absolutely the best care he deserved.
With regular meals, medication, and warm baths, he was already starting to recover, and his fur was growing back.
After some time had passed, Rafael was also beginning to regain a lot of his weight. He regained his strength, and Lily was there to give him lots of cuddles and kisses.
As she showered him with affection, he finally let his guard down, and it helped him realize that this amazing person only wanted to give him the chance he always needed.
With more time in her care, Rafael no longer saw Lily as his rescuer, but as a friend. They became inseparable and did everything together.
This was the beginning of their beautiful friendship. When Lily realized that she just loved him so much, she did not want to give him up, so she adopted Rafael.
And just like that, his whole life changed in an instant. He went from nearly starving to living the most fulfilling life with a human companion who would give him the love and respect he deserves.
It’s in simple moments like this that we can truly understand why dogs can make us so happy and change our lives completely.
