Freddie’s life had been so hard that he had no idea what it was like to be comfortable. Luckily, the rescuers were more than happy to show him.

All dogs deserve to be treated well. Sure, some owners may not have the money to buy their dogs fancy treats and toys. But every kind-hearted owner gives their dog a bed and other basic comforts.

Sadly, Freddie never had a true owner for the first nine years of his life.

He was born into a puppy mill. He had to endure terrible conditions with zero affection from any human.

But one day, National Mill Dog Rescue located Freddie and 34 other dogs that were being illegally intensively bred. They were able to bust Freddie and the other dogs out of the terrible conditions.

Of course, at first, Freddie had no idea that he was being rescued. He was confused as to why these new humans were being so nice to him all of a sudden.

Freddie was in a bad condition. He was malnourished and had lost all of his teeth.

But luckily, the dog did not have any health problems that threatened his life. The rescuers gave him a delicious meal and then handed him his first-ever bed.

Theresa Strader walked over to Freddie’s pen. She pet him. Freddie was scared of the petting, until he realized that the woman wasn’t going to hurt him.

Then she placed the bed into the pen.

Freddie sniffed at the bed in a confused manner. You could tell that he had never seen a dog bed before. He couldn’t work out that it was meant to make him happy.

So Theresa opened Freddie’s pen and walked in to show him how to use the bed.

She picked Freddie up and gave him a cuddle. She felt his rapid heartbeat slow down as she did this. Then she carefully placed the dog on the bed.

Freddie felt its softness and realized that it would be nice to relax on.

He sniffed all around it and then sat at different parts of the bed, as if to check that it was all as comfortable as it seemed.

For a while, Freddie was too excited to sleep on the bed. But eventually, he calmed down and got to sleep. It was the best sleep he had ever had.

Luckily, Theresa was filming the heartwarming moment when Freddie learned to use his first-ever bed. The video then made a huge impact on Facebook.

To date, it has gained over 116,000 views. It also has more than 5,000 reactions, 1,300 shares and 450 comments. People have been saying things like this:

Over the coming days, Freddie became an incredibly happy dog. He got along well with all the volunteers.

And he made friends with another rescued chihuahua, Lark.

And it wouldn’t be long until Freddie found a forever home.

Just one week after he arrived at the shelter, a couple applied to adopt him. After a few checks, the shelter agreed to let the couple become the dog’s owners.

Freddie would also gain a dog sibling, Cinnamon the Whippet.

Over the following months, Freddie learned to enjoy his newfound freedom. He would have to have a few surgeries on his teeth, but apart from going through that, his life has been complete happiness.
