Man Wants To Return Dog Full Of Energy To Shelter, Then A Heartfelt Letter Stops Him Cold

The man held the letter in his weak hands, unable to fully comprehend what he was reading. He watched the sad Labrador while holding the piece of paper. The words “final” and “never see him again” pressed hard onto his heart.

Moments ago, the man was ready to take the dog back to the shelter. But he realized this was no ordinary dog.

He Was Lonely

Antony had just moved to a new town, and he was beyond lonely. He thought about it a lot until he decided that this was the perfect time for him to adopt a pet.

When he began looking around, he was overjoyed to discover that a local shelter had a Labrador looking for a new home.

He couldn’t wait to pick him up and bring him home, but he had no idea that this decision would turn his entire world upside down.

He Was Smitten

As soon as Antony met Reggie for the first time, he was absolutely smitten with the dog. He was adorable, and Antony couldn’t understand why no one had snatched him earlier. He seemed well-behaved and friendly. What was not to like?

According to the shelter, Reggie hadn’t clicked with his previous owners. But would he get along with Antony?

Trial Period

Antony was set up with an old box and a two-week trial period to see if he and Reggie would get along. It was important for Reggie to adapt to his new surroundings.

When Antony left and took Reggie home, he couldn’t help but revel in the excitement of having a new dog. But sadly, it didn’t start as well as Antony had hoped.

Miserable Or Sad

Antony quickly noticed that the dog barely responded to training. He would often act out and he was always miserable or sad. Antony had spent hours with his new pet, trying his hardest to bring Reggie out of his shell, but he was stubborn.

He couldn’t understand why the dog wouldn’t take to him. He had grown up with dogs as pets, so he knew how to take care of them. But he had no idea how different Reggie truly was.
