Homeless man can’t afford care for his injured dog, selflessly gives her up to save her life
Sometimes we have to do what’s best for our loved ones even if it pains us. This is what one man did when his Labrador/Shepherd mix pup, Sheba, developed a serious infection in one of her front paws that resulted from a fight with another dog. He couldn’t afford medical care for her, but rather than abandoning her, he brought her in to the East Bay SPCA in Oakland, California, where he was told she could be treated but would need to be left in the custody of the shelter.
“I love you. This is the best thing that I can do for you right now,” was the last thing he told her as he kissed her and patted her head goodbye. The man was believed to be homeless, and left behind what might have been his only friend and companion to give her the best chance of survival.
The man’s selfless act truly did save Sheba’s life. Shortly after bringing her in, veterinarians assessed her injury and discovered her leg was fractured in two places, severely impeding her ability to walk. Because it was uncertain whether or not the fractures would heal, they decided to amputate her leg, which would spare Sheba from excruciating pain.
Being the friendly and good-natured pup she is, Sheba persevered through her recovery and befriended her caretakers. Not long after, a new family adopted her into their home.
Owing to her previous owner’s love and sacrifice, Sheba (now Gracie) is able to run around comfortably and visit new places with her new family. Even though it meant saying goodbye, the love Sheba’s old owner had for her went a long way, and she shares that affection with all those who come across her path.
