Puppy abandoned in the woods with all his belongings waits for someone to notice him

Hank, a young puppy, faced a heart-wrenching ordeal.

Once part of a family, he was cruelly abandoned in the woods with a broken leg.

Alongside him were his belongings: an unopened bag of food he couldn’t access, a comforting bed, and some old toys.

Left to fend for himself, Hank waited, hoping someone would notice him.

A kind-hearted Good Samaritan stumbled upon Hank, who sat motionless on his dog bed amidst the trees.

The local animal shelter was immediately alerted. The Humans and Animals United organization shared on Facebook:

“Only a puppy at 8 months old yet has been through so much. His tail started wagging once he knew he was being taken into the veterinary hospital. We cannot imagine why anyone would dump him with a broken leg. Left him with his bed, toys, and food in the woods. Whoever you are, please know that Hank is now safe and will never ever be hurt again.”

Despite his traumatic experience, Hank’s spirit remained unbroken.

Those who came to his rescue were initially apprehensive, thinking he might be aggressive due to his survival instincts.

However, Hank proved them wrong. Rosa Fond, the founder of Humans and Animals United, remarked:

“He was nothing but love from the moment they got him. Everybody says that he’s the sweetest dog.”

Upon examination, veterinarians discovered that Hank’s leg had been broken for over two weeks.

This explained why the young pup hadn’t moved from his bed; the pain was too overwhelming.

Tragically, Hank’s condition was so severe that there were discussions about euthanizing him.

But, Humans and Animals United intervened, ensuring Hank received the vital care he deserved.

Before undergoing surgery, Hank needed to regain his strength.

It was unclear how long he had been without food, but he was emaciated when found.

Estimates suggest he might have been abandoned for around two weeks.

During this challenging period, the staff at the veterinary hospital showered Hank with love and attention, helping him regain his spirit.

Thanks to these contributions, Hank’s first surgery was a success.

While on the road to recovery, Hank still faces challenges.

He remains underweight, with his bones visibly protruding.

To help him regain his strength, he’s fed multiple small meals throughout the day.

Currently in a temporary foster home, Hank will soon transition to another foster home specializing in cases like his, ensuring he receives the best care possible.

As Hank continues to heal, there’s been a surge of interest in adopting him.

Although many have inquired, the perfect forever home is still being sought.

The rescue organization expressed their gratitude, stating:
