It's hard to deny that life for all types of pampered pets can be pretty sweet.
However, a lot of them are spoiled later in life because their beginnings were much, much different. Like other rescued dogs, Roo the golden retriever may be living the good life now, but his early days couldn't have been more opposite.
At the beginning of Roo's story, she was just a panicked, scared puppy at a Los Angeles shelter, where she was deemed unfit for adoption and scheduled for euthanasia. Luckily, a rescue volunteer came to Roo's aid and was able to save her just in the nick of time.
Roo was adopted by Brian Beker, who ended up writing a book about their experience called Notes from a Dog Rescue in Progress. Roo has come a long way from her early days in the shelter, but as you can see in the following video, she's really getting the hang of her new lifestyle. In this clip, Roo gets to go to the toy store with Beker for the very first time to pick out her very own toy.
Seeing this formerly homeless, terrified dog have so much fun and experience such love in his life today makes me so happy. Hopefully, their story can inspire a few others, as well…
