It is always poignant and upsetting to see a desperate animal that is ditched by the owner. Surprisingly, many of them understand their unfortunate situation and wait patiently for some helping hands. Let’s meet Hank, an 8-month-old dog found abandoned in the woods with all his belongings.

A Good Samaritan found the dog while walking through the forest. Interestingly, Hank neither looked nor acted like a puppy. He probably knew which circumstance he was in, so he sat still on a discarded dog bed with some toys and a sealed bag of dog food until someone spotted him and lent him a hand.

The Good Samaritan contacted their local animal shelter, and a rescue team was sent to the area immediately. Though the rescue staff members were afraid that the dog might turn aggressive, the animal showed the opposite attitude.

“He was nothing but love from the moment they got him,” Rosa Fond, founder of Humans and Animals United, said. “Everybody says that he’s the sweetest dog.”
