Hope for Paws, a nonprofit rescue organization in Los Angeles
tells many sad stories of animal abuse and neglect. Most of the
stories, however have happy endings. One such story involves
Woody, a dog left behind, after his master died. For a long lonely
no, year, Woody took refuge under a neighbor's shed, waiting in
vain, for his master's return. He survived on occasional scraps
from his neighbors who eventually contacted Hope for Paws.
When rescuers reached Woody, they found a malnourished, and
frightened dog who had one blind eye and dirty, matted, fur.
Gently, Woody was pulled from beneath the shed, and taken to
the home of a volunteer, who fosters orphaned pets. There, Woody
was fed, shaved, bathed and loved. Woody's story had the happiest
of endings, when a family adopted him. Now Woody has a new
forever home and he is once again a happy, well-loved dog.
