Stray Puppy Makes Sure Woman Stops Her Car To Rescue Him

A stray puppy is luckier than he will ever know after running behind the car of a woman in rural Greece, writes reshareworthy

The puppy appeared out of nowhere and began chasing after the car of Valia Orfanidou.

During all that time, no other car stopped to help, an indifference Valia says is a typical attitude of many towards the millions of stray dogs in her country. But she knew there was no way she could move on without the pup. “”I just couldn’t let that innocence be tainted or shattered,” she says in the video.

She finally manages to grab hold of him and he squeals, but seconds later he is sitting happily in her car and trusting her to take care of him.

Valia admits she has never fostered such a young puppy. Many of her other rescues have been older dogs. But she has found the entire experience fostering Bandit delightful and renewed her optimism in animal rescue.

“Bandit was rescued in Greece in late October 2020. He is two months old, he’s had his first vaccines, he is dewormed, healthy and as happy as can be,” she writes. If you are interested in adopting him, please visit The Orphan Pet to contact her.

Bandit will be made available for adoption through SCARS, the animal charity Valia volunteers at. Their website is: Scars.gr
