After months of separation, a sergeant was reunited with the dog she rescued during her service abroad, and her tears could not be contained in that emotional reunion.
This tender story of friendship and perseverance has moved the world, and all thanks to the intervention of a non-profit organization that decided to help.
This dog found the love she so deserved in the arms of a military woman.
This is the 29-year-old sergeant, Charity Webb, who belongs to the United States Army. This shy young woman, committed to national security, was serving in Eastern Europe when she came across a cute little dog.
Charity was in the kitchen the first time she saw the lost puppy looking for food, that scene moved her to the extreme and she could not fall for the beauty of the animal.
That sad look touched her.
It was a half-breed who was born on the military base along with other furry ones, but among the litter she had something special. The dog was as shy as the sergeant but this woman knew how to win her over.
“It just took weeks to try to socialize her more and feed her and show her that it’s okay to be around these big people. She was so little, she had just been born, so she wasn’t used to all of that,” Webb said.
The sergeant became the only reliable person for the puppy. If someone else wanted to hold her or touch her the dog she would start crying hysterically and she would run away from her. Only Webb knew how to reassure her.
The woman decided to name the dog PupPup and adopted her as her own to prevent her from being put down. According to the story, because there are many homeless dogs around the base, animal control usually picks them up and on many occasions they are euthanized.
“You miss your family, you’re missing Christmas, Thanksgiving, all of that, so it was good that she took my time and mind and I didn’t think about my free time and stuff, so it really helped me. with it,” Webb said.
After a few months, the woman found out that her deployment would soon come to an end and it would be time to return home, but PupPup would not be able to travel with her. Without the sergeant the dog’s future was bleak and Webb didn’t want that for her little girl; however, one of his classmates showed him the solution.
It was at that moment that a post on social networks made this case viral. People were moved to learn the story and decided to collaborate to prevent the dog from being left adrift and with the threat of being sacrificed in their country.
After months of uncertainty, the sergeant managed to hug PupPup again. Her hairy one had stopped being a puppy but she still remembered the warmth of that woman who had taken care of her when she was little.
