<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the morning \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthe boys\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 were given a thorough check over. Both were extremely thin and were wearing no collars, but were bright and friendly and devoured everything in front of them. A trip to the local vet revealed no microchips, identified and treated a heavy worm burden, but other than that they were in good health, despite being significantly under nourished. However, it was found that the ginger had a scar running all the way over his back and around his chest, where he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d quite likely been tied up with a rope that had cut into his skin and caused a permanent reminder of his possible previous treatment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Both dogs were young and the vet suggested that it was likely that the pup (now called Tiny) had been bred for the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcChristmas market\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, failed to sell and were dumped out on the road, together with the slightly older ginger (now Charlie) who was probably just deemed an inconvenience. A heartless and cruel act that has no place in our world. Photos were taken to be put on the vet notice board and shared locally and on social media in an attempt to find them a good home, as Jenny was told that under no circumstances could the dogs stay!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Given the time of year no adoptive home was found (though if she were being honest, she really didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t try very hard!) and Jenny refused to bring the dogs to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthe pound\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or a local rescue as she was afraid a good home would not be found or that they would have to be separated. The boys were obviously incredibly attached to each other and though initially scared and timid, they quickly turned into happiest, friendliest dogs you could ever encounter. Which just goes to show the resilience of the spirit of dogs and the forgiveness they are capable of, given everything that they must have been through.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n About a month later Jenny finally managed to convince her husband that Tiny and Charlie were going to stay. The cats were not (and still are not) particularly enthusiastic about their rather energetic new big brothers, whose favourite game is chase! But life has settled down and now, 7 months later, life could not be imagined without this dynamic duo. Their energy, enthusiasm and love of life is infectious and Jenny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s husband has finally agreed that it was the right thing to keep them and give them a forever home!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Taking an animal in need into your home is a wonderful thing. Not only are you possibly saving a life, but you could also be changing your own, for the better.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It was late on a cold and dark Sunday evening, just 4 days after Christmas 2019 when Tiny and Charlie arrived on Jenny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doorstep. The front gate bell rang and a young couple said they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d found two little dogs wandering alone on the road and asked did they belong here. They did not at the […]\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":9710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,112],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animal-welfare","category-homeopet-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"\/unitedkingdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/09\/Charlie-day-1-1024x840-1.jpg\")
