It is important in our world to hear sad stories so that we can understand how cruel and compassionate some people can be.
We’ll never know what made Theo’s owners dump him in the parking lot – an elderly dog with cancer with little time to live. There will always be an even better choice.
We are just happy to know that there are people like Jenny Leach in the world. She tries to make Theo’s last days the best of her life.
The 12-year-old boy was not in his best shape when he was found by animal control in a Walmart parking lot in Joliet, Illinois.
Luckily he was taken into the care of BAARK Dog Rescue in Barrington and they knew his unique situation would require a special and loving foster family. That’s when they called Jenny Leach, who specializes in senior dogs and dogs with special needs.
He had cancerous lumps all over his stomach.
Theo joined the woman’s pack of 10 dogs, all of whom lived their best lives with a generous foster family and her husband.
These days, Theo is happy and energetic on all their family adventures.
Leach’s Facebook followers quickly became obsessed with the adorable dog and shared photos of him eating ice cream and burgers and chewing on big fresh chunks of meaty bones.
“People started coming up with new ideas, someone offered to take him on a boat, someone gave Theo a ride in his convertible mustang…it was just amazing,” he said. said Leach.
The main thing is to treat the dog with love, to give him a little joy.
Theo received support from Live Like Roo, a Chicago-based organization that helps families pay for dogs diagnosed with cancer.
Live Like Roo offered to cover all of Theo’s cancer-related medical care, which was huge.
He also had cancer. And it was his owners who created such a wish list that inspired Theo.
Despite everything that happened to him, he didn’t know he was sick, he was wagging his tail and I thought he was happy.
Trips to the beach, tons of toys, treats and love in the environment – what more could you ask for in the last few days? Watch the transformation and share this with your friends!
