Old dog was chained for 14 years. Then old man arrives and changes her life

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 124

When people are asked to explain the meaning of kind, you’ll often hear responses that talk about how selfless, compassionate, and giving a person it. People will say kind people go above and beyond themselves to help others, even when it’s at their own expense at times.

Thayne Hamilton and his late wife, Christine, perfectly exemplify this description of kindness. Over the past 12 years, the duo has rescued over forty elderly dogs from kill shelters all across the country. After caring for so many dogs that have gone through neglect and abuse, Thayne understands just how much love an old dog can give.

Thayne and Christine founded the Grey Muzzle Rescue & Sanctuary in Orcas Island, Washington, in order to give elderly dogs a second chance at life.

One of the rescued dogs they have saved is Lilla. She had previously been chained up for 14 years. When she arrived, she was in terrible condition and her legs were essentially glued to her body. Thayne was undeterred and helped her move around with a wheelbarrow.

In 2013, Christine passed away from terminal illness, but before she did, she made the kindest and most loving gesture possible. Take a look below.

Please SHARE this video with others and help spread the word about Thayne’s incredible mission to save senior dogs.

    This story seriously made me cry, what Thayne and his wife did and what he continues to do for these dogs is so heartwarming and amazing. God bless him his wife, the dogs and all the people who helped surprise him. I say he deserved it.

    Anyone who chains their canine not alone for 14r years, should be in jail for life. I just hope the person who did this returns as a snake for that is what he is, No A SNAKE IS BETTER JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE AS DO WE ALL ! People are SICK !!!!

    Facebook is a hard read for me because of stories like this . I’m bothered so much by how cruel people can be that I sometimes cannot see that the story has a good ending
