Rescuers Plead Him To Hold On, But He Stares At Them With Love & Shuts His Eyes

Dennis the Pit Bull was starved and neglected by his owner for a prolonged period of time. Soon, ticks infested his body and sucked the life out of him, writes ilovemydogsomuch

When the owner saw the weakened dog was unable to move, the owner simply drove Dennis to a bridge and left him there to die alone.

A young skater named Gabriel Sepulveda was passing by the bridge when he spotted the lifeless Dennis. He recalled the rescue “Hope For Paws” saving many dogs on the brink of death, and quickly reached out to them.

The rescuers were horrified when they actually witnessed Dennis’ plight. He was skin and bones and his organs were already in the process of shutting down. They got him to the hospital and immediately began the arduous procedure of removing the ticks one by one.

After the ticks were cleaned off, Dennis got a rejuvenating bath that brought him back to his senses. He watched in awe as his rescuers switched between neurologists, cardiologists, and internal medicine specialists to get him help. But even after blood transfusions and special care, Dennis never recovered.

Just 5 days after his rescue, Dennis passed away in the comforting company of his rescuers. Before bidding his final farewell, he flashed them a faint smile to thank them for making him feel loved and wanted in his final days.

The defeated rescuers have been emotionally exhausted as they’re trying to process Dennis’ unjustified death. Sadly, this is the harsh reality that every rescuer faces every now and then.

But such sad endings can be avoided if people speak up every time they see any form of animal abuse. We hope Dennis is in a better place now. Rest in peace, sweetheart!
