The boy decided that he needed to give this retriever a chance at life.
Not always dogs that have fallen into the shelter are able to impress potential owners. Some are afraid of people; others show aggression toward them. Nevertheless, others seem to want to make friends, but they simply do not know how to do it right.
We will talk about such a story.
Once Dustin Kelly decided that he wanted to get a dog. He went to a local shelter to look after pets. All animals were very noisy, trying to attract attention.
But a golden retriever, an already adult shaggy dog named Zeus, acted differently. On the contrary, he sat in the aviary rather quietly, in the corner, avoiding the need to look at the next visitor.
Employees of the shelter said that the fate of Zeus was unenviable: due to a lack of places in the shelter, the dog needs to be lulling the next day. Dustin Kelly decided that he needed to give this retriever a chance for life.
But the staff began to dissuade the guy, all due to the fact that Zeus could not wean from a strange and slightly frightening habit of strangers. The dog loves to “smile”, showing all the teeth.
At the same time, he had problems with training, Zeus desperately did not want to perform commands. Whoever gives them.
Dustin stood his ground and issued documents for Zeus. When the dog was taken out of the cage, the young man first saw that very signature smile.
And he was really scary … In Dustin’s house, Zeus still did not make contact, but the guy was not going to give up.
Over time, the dog began to trust his new two-legged friend more. And then Dustin realized that there was no aggression in Zeus’ grin. Numerous subscribers of the Zeus account, which its owner has been leading for many months, also think.
Dustin himself is happy that he gave such an unusual dog a chance for a happy life.
