Living as a stray on the streets can do things to a dog. While dogs are by nature quite sweet and loving, sometimes the roughness of the streets ends up affecting a dog, turning them into unfriendly strays who avoid human interaction out of fear.
Regardless of how trauma affects dogs, there are people out there who want to help rescue them no matter what. The world can definitely use more people like that.
One of these incredibly kind people is Jorge Jaime, who is known to help rescue all sorts of animals such as cats, birds, and livestock. But given that he lives in Mexico, he is often confronted with the sad reality of loads of stray dogs.
It is heartbreaking to see, but Jorge is committed to trying to help as many of these homeless dogs as he can. Of course, each rescue that he attempts does pose something of a risk, as he can’t ever be entirely sure of how these strays will react to his help.
Still, despite the possibility of getting bit, he continues to do his best to rescue all the dogs that need his help. One day, he noticed that there was a little brown dog in the road not too far away.
As he approached, he noted that was already scared and on the defensive. He carefully approached, reaching out his hand to the pooch. Unfortunately, she felt under threat and went in for a bite.
Even though she had bitten him, Jorge wasn’t badly injured. He got himself some medical attention, and once he was all good to go, he was straight back at the road where he first saw the dog – determined to help.
He started feeding her, and eventually managed to gain her trust enough to let him get her seen by a local veterinarian. But that isn’t where his kindness towards the dog – later named Ojo – stopped.
In fact, he continued to feed her and care for her, including finding her a foster family until she was able to be placed in a forever home. But to this day, he still shares a special bond with Ojo, and will still go to visit her.
Speaking of his actions towards stray dogs, Jorge said, “They’re not bad, it’s just that sometimes on the street they have to fight for their lives. These days, when she sees me, she comes running to me and that’s worth more than a bite.”
