“Hey there, fella,” the fisherman called, approaching cautiously. “You look like you could use a friend.”
Spike’s ears perked up at the sound of a friendly voice, but his trust had been shattered once before.
“What’s wrong, boy?” the fisherman murmured, noticing the limp in Spike’s step.
Spike hesitated, eyeing the stranger warily. But as the fisherman extended a hand, Spike tentatively nuzzled it, a glimmer of hope flickering in his eyes.

“We won’t hurt you, buddy,” another rescuer reassured, reaching out to gently stroke Spike’s head.
With a hesitant wag of his tail, Spike allowed himself to be led away, his trust hanging by a thread.
As Spike embarked on his journey to recovery, his rescuer became his guardian angel, guiding him with unwavering patience and love.
