Out of all the stories I write about, I think it’s safe to say that my favorite ones are usually the heartwarming rescue stories. It’s amazing when people take responsibility for a poor and helpless dog who desperately needs a home. It shows just how much better our lives are with them.
In this story, we will talk about a Pitbull who was saved by a firefighter and given a new chance at life.
Chunkie’s Horrible State
While performing their duties, the Sacramento firefighters came across a small Pitbull who was tied to a tree on the street. They quickly realized that the dog had been abandoned by her previous owners and left there in the freezing weather.
The firefighters were horrified by the dog’s condition. Mike Thawley and his crew decided to help. They took her back to the firehouse where she received a warm bath and was wrapped in several blankets to regain her body temperature. Chunkie, as she was later named, spent some time enjoying being off the street and in a warm place.
The crew members suggested taking her to an animal shelter where she would receive proper care. After ensuring Chunkie was comfortable, they took her to the shelter for medical treatment.
The New Inseparable Duo
At the shelter, Chunkie received medical care for her mange and was on her way to a full recovery. However, one of the Sacramento firefighters, Mike Thawley, was still concerned about her and decided to check up on her. When he arrived, Chunkie was very happy to see him, so Thawley hugged and comforted her.
Realizing he couldn’t just let her go, Mike Thawley waited for Chunkie’s full recovery and then decided to adopt her. This amazing dog is now living an adventurous life in a loving home with the best family she could ever wish for.
Chunkie and Thawley’s story serves as a reminder to us all that sometimes, all it takes is a small act of kindness to make a dog’s day better. We should all aspire to be like the amazing firefighters of Sacramento who strive to make an impact by helping those who need it the most.
