Did you know that it's impossible to even estimate how many homeless, stray dogs are living on the streets of the United States right now? There are too many to even count, and sadly, that number never stops growing. Dogs like this pit bull, who received a miraculous second chance, are literally born to die on the streets and unfortunately most of them are not so lucky.
In the following story we learn of a dog who never knew the comfort of a home or the love of a family. Ol Boy was born on the streets and without a doubt destined to die there. This was until two kind me stepped in to make sure that he would not die believing the world was an evil place.
Our two heroes found the dog emaciated, diseased, infested with ticks and surviving on dirty water alone. While most people would just look the other way and ignore the sickly street dog, the men brought Ol Boy to a shelter, where they understandably wanted to put the dying dog down. However, the men didn't agree. They wanted this dog's sad story to have a somewhat happy ending and decided to take care of the dog during his final days.
These good Samaritans went above and beyond to grant this dog's final wish — to feel love. When they spread his ashes somewhere the dog could finally run free, it completely wrecked me, and yet it also gave me such faith in humanity. It's important to remember that a dog never truly dies, their energy and loving spirit is just released into the world.
