The Heartbreaking Story of Tyson
Tyson appeared to be one of the desolate dogs I had ever come across. Upon the arrival of the kind individuals from Twenty Paws Rescue in Brooklyn, New York to collect him he timidly retreated into his crate. Refused to emerge.
He was gripped by fear. Overwhelmed by loneliness, to such an extent that he lacked the strength to venture outside.
These experienced rescuers understood that only time can truly mend a heart.
They patiently waited for Tyson to realize that they meant him no harm. Eventually he allowed them to lead him away, from his surroundings.
