Whenever people see stray dogs, the dogs are usually skittish and don’t come close. Even if they do get the courage to come close, they tend to run away because they aren’t used to human interactions, or their past interactions with humans were abusive. There are rare situations, though, where stray dogs want nothing more than love from any human they come across.
Sydney and Henry, a couple traveling by van, were surprised by a group of dogs chasing their van as they drove to a beach to set up their camp. The group of dogs consisted of two mamas and a mixture of smaller dogs and puppies.
Sydney quickly started to bond with a tan dog who seemed very pregnant. She said, “The tan dog who had the tears streaming down her face, looking me dead in the eyes, being like, ‘Help me.’”
The couple could tell that the dogs were extremely thirsty and hungry. It was clear to them that these dogs were not being taken care of properly. When they read the reviews for the campsite, many people talked about dogs being fed by numerous campers rolling through.
Sydney and Henry stayed at that campsite for several days, but they didn’t see any other people come through to camp while they were there. That became a concern for them after they realized the gaps between feedings for these dogs were too far apart.
When the couple went to bed at night, they constantly thought of what they could possibly do for these poor dogs. Henry reached out to The Animal Pad in San Diego and Los Adoptables in Mexico. The couple loaded up all the dogs in the back of the van that they live in to take them to the rescue center.
