Reducing an animal to the brink of death, leaving it defenseless, chained , without food or water, is an act so miserable that it’s difficult to find words to describe it. Unfortunately, even today we hear too many news reports about abused dogs. Today, however, we want to tell the story of a pit bull who knew how to react to the violence he suffered. His skeletal and very weakened body moved his rescuers. Everyone thought he would die within a few hours, but he didn’t give up.
The story of Truman , a pit bull rescued in Alabama, USA, has gone viral on the internet. This is due to his great willpower and determination to respond to life’s difficulties. The dog had suffered constant violence. Long abused , Truman lived tied to a post with long chains. No one thought to give him food or water; in fact, his skeletal body was a testament to his malnutrition.
With his last bit of strength, Truman managed to free himself and call for help . Some people immediately noticed the poor, abused dog wandering the streets and reported his case to an animal shelter.
After being rescued, Truman immediately found a place at the nearest veterinary clinic. The dog was terribly underweight and emaciated: in fact, he weighed only 19 kg, compared to 35 kg for a three-year-old pit bull like him.
Truman had a microchip that allowed him to be identified. The vet immediately gave him fluids to rehydrate him, but his chances of survival were very slim. On the other hand, what the pit bull can do is astonishing. A true force of nature .
In a Facebook post, the PAWS Alabama – Montgomery animal shelter announced that, after 20 months, Truman received an adoption application, much to everyone’s delight. The dog had finally found a loving family who would finally care for him the way he deserved.
After all the suffering he had experienced, Truman had fought with all his might to hold on to the life that had taken so much from him but was finally rewarding him now.
Amidst the general excitement, the shelter staff tearfully bid farewell to Truman. The pit bull was beloved by everyone. His strong willpower was crucial in keeping him from giving up. He bravely responded to all the difficulties life threw his way, and in the end, he emerged victorious.
