Don’t you ever wonder what dogs would say if we could understand them? Well, if dogs could talk, they would surely ask their families for immense love and daily cuddles. A loving embrace from their owners is where dogs find so much happiness.

It breaks our hearts to know that so many dogs are mistreated and denied the love and joy they deserve. This story is about Gordough, a wonderful dog who experienced hurt after being abandoned and tied to a park bench by his owners.

Gordough held out hope that his owners would return for him. He waited with a sad expression, but they never came back. Although he was heartbroken, Gordough did not lose faith that someone would notice him and take him to a safe place.

Rescuers from the Austin Humane Society in Texas were shocked when they found a giant Pit Bull mix tied to a bench with a pleading look on his face. When they went up to him, they soon realized he was sick.

“He was … crusty from head to toe. He had infections of the skin and eyes and desperately needed medicated baths, eye drops, and ointment to treat them,” wrote the 15/10 Foundation on Facebook.

Gordough’s tail still began wagging the moment he saw the rescuers approaching.

They stroked his head and Gordough instantly felt that these were the heroes he had been waiting for! His eyes melted with gratitude as they untied his leash from the bench.

A Lot of Love and Care
