Imagine a dog sitting by the front door, waiting for her family to come back. But they never do—they’ve moved away and left her behind. This sad situation is what happened to Lacy, a dog who was abandoned and alone. Her story begins with heartbreak, but with the help of kind people, it turns into a journey of hope and healing.
In Russia, someone spotted a small, dirty puppy named Ferdo inside a cardboard box that was too flimsy to protect him. Alina, a kind driver, saw something moving, stopped her car, and found the crying puppy just a few feet away from the box. The puppy was scared and confused, far from the warmth and safety of his mother. He was left to fend for himself against hunger, cold, and thirst.
“His eyes were filled with pain and sadness,” Alina said. She couldn’t just pass by. She wrapped him up and quickly drove him to a vet.
The vet found that Fedor was very dirty, hungry, and scared. He might have been hurt by other stray dogs and was suffering from leptospirosis, a serious bacterial infection that can be deadly if not treated right away. He was also malnourished and needed to be fed like a newborn. Plus, he was covered in fleas and ticks, which caused lots of bites and skin problems.
Fedor had to stay at the clinic for treatment. Alina visited him every day, bringing him food and spending time with him so he wouldn’t feel so alone.
After two months of care and love, Ferdo was strong enough to leave the clinic. Alina decided to adopt him. She brought him home, where he had a comfortable bed waiting for him. He spent most of his first day sleeping in his new home.
Little by little, he started exploring his new place, trying to understand his surroundings. With his small size and cute face, Fedor quickly stole the hearts of everyone around him.
Now, Fedor is doing well. He has a home and everything he needs to be healthy and happy, with a loving owner who will never abandon him.
