Neglected tiny puppy cries out in fear and pain as rescuers approach him
Saving animals can sometimes take a serious toll on one’s mental health. Having to witness them in pain and fear is never an easy thing to deal with. And that’s to say nothing of not knowing which will make it and which one’s will slip through your grasp.
Thankfully, this pup who had a traumatic start in life will get a very happy ending.
Stray Rescue of St. Louis got a call that a dog was stranded out in the cold and snow.
Back in the winter of 2019, Stray Rescue of St. Louis was made aware of a dog who was in desperate need. They didn’t have much information on the dog so when they arrived they didn’t know what to expect.
Documenting the entire thing, they went to see the dog.
When they arrived at the call location, they could clearly see the dog sitting on the snow under a light pole. It wasn’t just a dog, but a small puppy was all alone and clearly not ok.
A puppy can’t survive out in the cold for long, especially in this condition.
Most dogs aren’t bred to withstand the cold and this pup was no different. The rescuers didn’t know how long he had been out there so time was of the essence. As they approached him, however, things took a turn.
As the rescuer got closer, the pup started to whine.
Usually, this means that a dog needs help or it’s afraid. In this case, both were true. Instead of quieting down when the rescuer got closer, the pup started wailing.
The loudness of the cries are disturbing.
Hearing the poor pup scream and wail as he does is truly heartbreaking. All it took was a human coming near him to cause such anxiety. Knowing that, this pup was clearly neglected and humans didn’t mean “friends” to him.
As the woman inches closer, the cries reach a peak.
Finally, as she is as close as she can be, she slips a little lead around the pup’s neck. In the dog’s mind, this is probably the worst thing that can happen – little does he know that things are about to look SO much better for him!
As he began to show trust, things drastically changed.
Soon, the pup was sitting with his head in her hand, getting some MUCH needed love. He was shivering and had infections across his body, especially in one area where he was injured. He also had paraphimosis on his genitals and was clearly in pain.
After he understood the woman wasn’t going to hurt him, he finally got into her car.
The process was a slow one, but this little pup would slowly learn to trust humans again.
Naming him Weezer (someone must be a fan), the shelter started looking for a family who would love to love on this little pup.
Finally, they did.
The unforgettable sound of his crying broke hearts across the internet, but they also found him the perfect home he was always meant to have. Now his life is filled with endless love and lots of well-deserved treats. They even posted a Facebook update of him with his new siblings, too.
See how his heart-crushing cries lead his rescuers straight to him in the video below!
