Hi Everybady!
Hi, my name is Aspro, and I'm a handsome white dog. Today I would like to share the story of how I
got rescued with all of you. I have lived on the street in Aruba for about one year. The day that changed my life
started pretty normal.
I woke up and immediately noticed my empty stomach. I should have gotten used to that feeling by now, I thought. But I was wrong. I quickly got up and walked through the streets in downtown, hoping to find some old French Fries or something else that would give me some energy to make it through the day.
Just when I crossed the Main Street, I heard a car beeping. It stopped short only a few inches away from me.
I almost got hit by a car. That was when I noticed that girl sitting on a bench on the sidewalk. She kept on
calling "come here white puppy". I walked over to her and she gave me a nice belly rub.
A few minutes after that I found myself between the girl's whole family who fed me, hugged me and kissed me. Together we walked to their car and there we went, me and my new family.
We stopped at the petstore, where I got yummy dog food, a collar and a leash and a nice, comfortable bed. I loved my new family from the first moment. They took me for long walks on the beach, played with me and gave me a lot of belly rubs (my favorite...).
After a few days I had to go to the vet. He gave me all the shots I needed to move into my new home, which would be in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA!!! The day of the big trip came fast. At the airport, I took a small pill and soon I got very sleepy. When I woke up, I got handed over to my family.
We made it! We arrived in my new home! I couldn't believe what I saw: I would not be the only pet of the household. They already had 3 dogs and one cat (who got adopted from Aruba last year)!
I was so happy I almost cried! The next morning, before I even opened my eyes, I prayed that this was not a dream. No, it wasn't. I saw my animal friends and my lovely family. Now, after two weeks, I can say I'm already a little spoiled.
Thanks to the good food they feed me, I've gained a few poinds, I have many toys and bones to play with, a big backyard to run around in, and a nice and cozy place where I sleep.
I have to admit it...I feel like a prince, and I love it!!
