In a world where loyalty knows no bounds, some stories remind us of the unbreakable bond between humans and their canine companions. Unfortunately, not all tales are filled with warmth and love. Seymour, a senior pup, found himself abandoned and facing a heartbreaking fate after years of devotion to his family.
Seymour’s story is one of resilience and the transformative power of compassion. After spending eighteen years by his family’s side, Seymour’s world was turned upside down when his owners decided to surrender him to a shelter, with the heartbreaking request to have him euthanized.

Chrissy, a dog rescuer with a heart of gold, happened to be at the shelter that day, on a mission to bring some dogs to Forgotten, Now Family Rescue, an animal sanctuary in Charlotte, North Carolina. As she glanced around the shelter, her attention was drawn to Seymour, a senior dog barely able to walk, his fur matted and his eyes filled with fear.
Despite his neglect and the imminent betrayal by his owners, Seymour clung to his owner’s leg, a silent plea for mercy and understanding. Chrissy, touched by the sorrow in Seymour’s eyes, knew she had to intervene.
Refusing to let Seymour face his fate alone, Chrissy made a life-changing decision. She convinced Seymour’s owner to let her take him to the rescue. With Seymour’s owner gone, Chrissy promised him a new beginning, one filled with love and care.
