The love we have for our dogs is endless and lasts forever. Our pups feel this love and know that we will always be there for them, through thick and thin.
Unfortunately, some dogs give all their love to owners who don’t deserve it. These heartless owners let them down and abandon them when they become old.
Seymour’s Heartbreaking Story
Seymour, a sweet senior pup, knows the pain of being let down by his family. After giving all his love to his owners, they abandoned him at a shelter, wishing for him to be put down.
Seymour felt scared and clung to his owner’s leg as if he understood that he was about to face a sad fate.
The Saddest Eyes That Asked for Help

One day, Chrissy, a dog rescuer, happened to be at the shelter. She was there to take some dogs to Forgotten, Now Family Rescue, an animal rescue located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Chrissy noticed a senior pup entering the shelter with his owner. The pooch could barely walk and looked extremely neglected and frightened.
“He was caked in flea dirt, and the smell from the infection he had was clearing the lobby,” Chrissy told The Dodo. Seymour had the saddest look in his eyes and held onto his owner’s leg, hoping he wouldn’t leave him.
Chrissy heard that Seymour had spent eighteen years with his family and that his owners now wanted him euthanized. Her heart broke for him. At that moment, she made a decision. Seymour was coming with her to the rescue.
Rescuing Seymour
Chrissy and Carcy, a fellow dog rescuer, tried to convince Seymour’s owner to let them take him to the vet. Initially, the owner refused to accept their help. However, Chrissy signaled to a staff member that she would take Seymour with her. After Seymour’s owner left the shelter, the canine kept looking around, wondering why he was left standing all alone.

A New Beginning
Chrissy immediately came to his side and stroked him, letting him know he was not alone. She wasn’t going to leave him in a cold kennel. Seymour was both moved and shocked that Chrissy touched him; he didn’t know what love was. Since the pup had growths and masses on his face and body, Chrissy took him in as a “fospice” pup (foster hospice).
Chrissy drove Seymour to the vet to get him the help he needed. She wanted to do everything she could to make him feel better. Seymour had his masses removed and continued recovering in Chrissy’s home. He was given a ton of love and support. The whole family, including the little humans, cherished the pup and showed him what life was all about.

A Miraculous Recovery
No one believed that Seymour had much time left, but thanks to the love he received, he proved everyone wrong. “We expected a short hospice time with him, and even a few days in comfort would be worth it to me. Instead, he has given me 13 months and going strong,” Chrissy said.
Seymour couldn’t believe how much his life had changed. He was no longer a heartbroken and unwanted dog. He was now a beloved family member. The whole family fell in love with his sweet personality and kind heart.
A Forever Home
Chrissy is thankful for having Seymour in their life. She and her family will love him forever and cherish every day they spend with him. Seymour feels happy because he finally knows how it feels to be unconditionally loved and cared for. The doggo lives his best life in Charlotte, North Carolina, enjoying every day he spends with his forever family, soaking up their infinite love.
Seymour’s story is a beautiful reminder that every dog deserves love, care, and a forever home. His transformation from a neglected and heartbroken pup to a cherished family member is a testament to the power of love and compassion. We should all strive to provide our furry friends with the love and care they deserve, ensuring they feel valued and adored every day of their lives.
