The German Shepherd has always been a beloved dog breed known for its strong, sturdy physique and impressive qualities. This breed is known for its intelligence, agility, and many other wonderful traits that make it a favorite among owners who value loyalty and virtue.
In late October of last year, a story on the 163.com website caught the attention of Chinese social media users, sparking a wave of emotions. The story focused on a German Shepherd who had been abandoned in an old house for a year, patiently waiting for its owner to come back.
Meet Ran, a man from Liaoning, China, who has made it his mission to take care of orphaned animals. One day, he received a tip from locals about a German shepherd living in a dilapidated cottage. Upon arriving at the scene, Ran was shocked to see the once famous and beloved dog now looking forlorn, resting in a corner with a sad expression and tired eyes.
The German Shepherd’s owner moved away a year ago under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind the dog but not their child. Each day, the dog dons the rope left by its owner and paces back and forth, seemingly searching for their missing loved one. Despite not giving up hope for many days, age catches up with the dog, eventually causing it to simply lie in a corner, its eyes always watching the entrance.
The locals in the neighborhood are compassionate and often give food to the dog. However, the large “boss” dog just sniffed at the food sadly and then sulked in a corner. A homeowner recently noticed that the German Shepherd was in poor health, so they tried to contact Ran, hoping he would take care of Uncle Becgie.
It is said that the dog initially didn’t want to go with Ran, preferring to stay at the other house. However, the young man and the animal welfare officer did everything they could to convince and use all available means to get him to the hospital after noticing a wound on his neck.
During the examination, the vet mentioned that a metal rod on a leash had accidentally pricked the dog’s neck, causing an infection and weakness due to lack of proper nutrition. It will take time to heal and help the dog recover. Uncle Becgie’s condition improved gradually after moving to the new home, but his eyes always looked sad, leading to suspicions that he still remembered his previous owner.
As the photos of the loyal German Shepherd circulated among people, it sparked a lot of interest. The unwavering loyalty of the dog touched the hearts of Chinese internet users, who couldn’t help but be moved by the dedication of the canine. They also criticized the owner for their actions, suggesting that if they had a reason for abandoning the dog, they should have found a new home for the pet instead of leaving them in such a way.
