A stray dog was spotted on the street of Houston, Texas a few years ago. The dog was seen clutching a teddy bear and this image has moved thousands of people around the world.
A woman saw this scene, she wanted to take the dog to the shelter, but it was already full and she had nowhere to put him. She later went back to the scene to look for the dog, but she was unable to find him anywhere.
People expressed their concern when they heard about the dog’s situation, while some praised this woman for taking care of the puppy who looked to be protected from loneliness only by his toy. Some, though, claimed that she hadn’t brought him home.
Animal abandonment is a very sad and serious subject for Yvette, thus she expressed the following in response to the criticism:
“We can feed up to 50 stray dogs on a feeding route. We’ll be lucky if we can save one of those 50 dogs because the sad fact is that there aren’t enough foster homes to place them all.”
The dog’s name was Teddy, and Yvette discovered an 89-year-old man while doing her search who recognized Teddy in the pictures. Teddy, along with a big number of other dogs, were fed by the guy.
Yvette expressed herself as follows:
“This was his dog, one of several that he had saved from the 5th District’s streets over the years.” He used to have as many as 20 in his backyard at one point.
Teddy had a habit of escaping from the yard, and one day he simply vanished. Yvette and this man became close friends despite the fact that they tried all they could to discover him.
Yvette and her group offered their services to spay and feed Mr. Calvis’s other animals, and two of them even underwent treatment for a delicate virus.
Mr. Calvin died in 2018, but his generosity to Houston canines will be remembered forever.
