Never make snap judgments based just on appearances. This motto brought Nicole and her grandfather directly to Rusty!
The staff classified this shelter Pitbull as violent, yet he was anything but! However, because of the stigma associated with his breed, no one recognized his true nature until these two generous individuals entered the shelter.
Rusty has been a good boy and duckling’s best friend ever since he was adopted!
He Doesn t Have One Mean Bone In His Body
Dogs have always been a favorite of Nicole’s grandfather. He and his granddaughter went to a nearby shelter after he made the decision to adopt one one day.
He became enthralled with Rusty the Pitbull, who the shelter staff had classified as violent, just minutes into their search. Nicole’s grandfather had a special place in his heart for this dog, and soon Rusty was his favorite.
Despite her initial skepticism, Nicole granted her grandfather’s request, and the three of them drove away to their house. It turns out that Rusty disproved his shelter in a matter of days.
Their paper had all of the erroneous information. His body was devoid of any cruel bones. He want constant holding. “He was very gentle and sweet with my grandpa as well,” Nicole told Cuddle Buddies.
Rusty quickly became the center of attention and the lifeblood of Grandpa’s house. Before Nicole took over as agreed upon, the two had a great four years together.
Nicole made the decision to take Rusty in permanently after her gramps were unable to care for him any longer. And it turned out to be the best choice ever!
In addition to being a wonderful friend, Rusty quickly showed his new mother his unique hidden talent.
He has a lovely way with all kinds of animals, it turned out!
Rusty, The Duckling Whisperer
As a qualified animal rehabilitator, Nicole’s neighbor frequently brought various animals in need to her house. She had a great time watching all of these little animals wander about the yard and investigate their new surroundings. But Rusty had a hidden lover who was even more enamored with it.
With all of them—cats, birds, and, most recently, ducklings—he was simply magnificent!
Nicole readily agreed to her neighbor’s request for help in caring for her tiny ducklings for a few days. Then Rusty’s magic appeared!
He was genuinely opposed to being parted from them.He behaved as their big brother, followed them about, and kept them safe. Seeing this large boi in his new role was very endearing, especially after he had been wrongly classified as violent for a long time.
Then something much more spectacular occurred! He did not follow the ducklings; quite the contrary. All over Rusty, these adorable infants started to climb on him and take comfortable naps. He didn’t mind at all that they thought he was their mother for some reason.
The ducklings continued to visit Rusty to spend time with him even after being returned to Nicole’s neighbor. They realized he was really their friend!
For a few more years, Rusty and Nicole pursued any activities that presented themselves. Unfortunately, after spending so much time with him, he passed away, leaving his mother devastated.
My Rusty boy, I miss you.On TikTok, Nicole posted.
Despite the fact that nothing can satisfy the emptiness in her heart, Nicole is content that Rusty did, in fact, lead a lovely life.
He will never truly leave our hearts, reminding us of his duckling voyage. Rusty is unquestionably a living example of how sincere dogs—even those classified as aggressive—can be given the proper chance.
