The Saddest Eyes That Asked For Help
Chrissy, a compassionate dog rescuer, was at the shelter on a routine mission. She was there to transport some dogs to Forgotten, Now Family Rescue, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Amidst her visit, she saw a senior dog, barely able to walk, enter the shelter.
Covered in flea dirt and reeking of infection, the pup had the saddest look in his eyes. He clung to his owner’s leg, as if sensing the impending doom. Chrissy could not ignore the despair in his eyes.
Learning that the pup, named Seymour, had been with his family for eighteen years and was now being surrendered for euthanasia, Chrissy’s heart broke. She made a swift decision—Seymour would not face this fate.
Despite initial resistance from Seymour’s owner, Chrissy, along with fellow rescuer Carcy, managed to convince him to let them take Seymour to the vet. After the owner left, Seymour looked around, bewildered and alone.
The Life He Was Always Supposed To Have
Chrissy immediately comforted Seymour, assuring him he was not abandoned. She would not leave him in a cold kennel. Seymour was astonished by this gentle touch, as if he had never known love before.
With noticeable growths and masses on his body, Seymour was taken in as a fospice pup. Chrissy drove him to the vet, determined to provide the care he desperately needed.
After undergoing surgery to remove the masses, Seymour began his recovery at Chrissy’s home. There, he experienced a flood of love and support from the entire family, including the children.
Although no one expected Seymour to live long, the affection he received worked wonders. He defied expectations, giving Chrissy and her family over thirteen months of joy and companionship.
A Second Chance at Life

Forever Loved
Seymour’s story is a testament to the power of love and kindness. Despite his initial heartbreak, he found a forever family that treasures him.

Why would someone surrender a senior dog after 18 years? 😢
