  • Dog Left Home Alone for Weeks Starts to Act Strangely
    In a heart-wrenching story, a dog named Milo was left alone in an apartment for an astonishing four to five weeks. This unfortunate incident took place in 2021, and Milo's journey touched the hearts of many, including mine. At the time, I was fostering dogs, and fate brought Milo into my care.
    When I first set eyes on Milo, it was apparent that he had been severely neglected and malnourished. The only attention he received was when someone checked in on him sporadically, refilling his empty food bowl. There were no walks, no outdoor time, and most importantly, no human interaction for the duration of his isolation. His owners were navigating through some personal struggles, leaving Milo in this distressing situation.
    As anticipated, Milo's behavior started to change during his time alone. When he was eventually brought to the shelter, he was so frightened of people that it struck everyone as peculiar. He seemed unable to focus on anything for very long, constantly moving from one thing to another. It became evident that this was his way of entertaining himself during the long weeks of solitude.
    Milo's condition was intriguing enough for a neurologist to be consulted. However, after a thorough examination, it was determined that there were no underlying neurological issues.
    Taking care of Milo was an arduous task. I spent months rehabilitating him and providing the necessary care. Eventually, he reached a point where he was ready for adoption. However, I couldn't bring myself to let him go. I felt a sense of responsibility towards him and believed that I could offer him the love and care he needed.
    Milo has proven to be an incredibly playful and loving companion. He constantly craves attention and will always find a way to engage with someone. His favorite pastime is playing with his toys, and he never misses an opportunity to bring them to you, eagerly awaiting a game of fetch.
    In addition to Milo's endearing personality, he also stands out due to his unique appearance. With a pink and gray coat resembling that of a cow and striking light eyes, he is truly one of a kind.
    When it comes to his dietary preferences, Milo is quite selective. Fruits and vegetables are not his cup of tea. In fact, he actively dislikes them.
    Overall, Milo's story is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of dogs. Despite enduring weeks of isolation and neglect, he has managed to bounce back and find joy in the simplest of things. Milo's transformation serves as a reminder of the importance of love, care, and companionship in a pet's life.

  • I'm really grateful that he gave me a shot.
