The saddest day of Mr. Pickles’ life was the day he was abandoned in a Brooklyn back alley, chained up.
He felt broken and deceived.
The dog gazed off into the distance with sad eyes, clinging to the sliver of hope that someone would release him and offer him some kindness.
A kind man saw Mr. Pickles and hurried to his aid just when he began to think that no one would step in to save him.
The Heartbreaking Sight
A woman called Julie was stopped by the man, who informed her about the Pittie in chains in the nearby alley.
Julie is the president of The Franklin Angus Fund, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that gives money to Pit Bulls in shelters and rescue facilities.
She hurried to the dog’s side as soon as she learned of his dire circumstances.
Julie’s heart broke as she saw the dog—later named Mr. Pickles—staring at her with teary eyes.
He was thin and covered in both fresh and ancient wounds, and he was in very bad health.
Julie assured the dog she would release him. Help was provided by the police officers and other kind people who just happened to be present.
Mr. Pickles was dejected and had a heartbreaking look on his face as he gazed at the ground.He was still incredulous that he would get assistance.
The dog’s knowledge of human cruelty became clear.
This dog had never in his life experienced kindness from anyone. “That much was obvious,” Julie continued.
She tried to win his trust and persuade him to accept her assistance by giving him sweets and speaking to him gently.
After 45 minutes, Mr. Pickles gave in to Julie and chose to put his trust in her.
She hurried him to the veterinarian.
The dog froze in terror when he arrived at the veterinarian. The veterinarian was able to win him over and provide the care he needed.
When Mr. Pickles gave Julie a small tail wag, as though to express gratitude for saving his life, Julie was touched.
The Happy Life All Dogs Deserve
Ready For Rescue intervened and found the dog a fantastic foster home after he began to recuperate.
Gretchen, Mr. Pickles’ foster mother, allowed him to unwind and demonstrated what love felt like. The dog emerged from his shell because of her love and attention.
He put his past behind him and conquered his trauma.
Mr. Pickles was adopted by a wonderful family. He began a new life and changed his name to River.
He felt loved and appreciated by his humans, who showered him with affection.
River makes his parents very happy.
He is a soul that is absolutely unique. The experience of saving him has been the most incredible. River’s mother, Cathy, told The Dodo, “He is such a loving dog.”
They know that they cannot change his history, but they will stop at nothing to ensure that he has a happy and prosperous future.
River’s life is at its peak. He likes spending time with his family and sailing with his father.
