Moz was a frail sickly puppy rotting on the streets when he was first taken in by the staff at “Hopalong Rescue”. Survival was hard for him because he was deaf.
He had a gaunt physique and his furless skin indicated that he was suffering from infectious skin ailments. The rescue assigned Moz’s mammoth foster duties to a man named Thom who had experience with fostering several sick and injured dogs.
Moz was worn to his bones due to his street life and his deafness made every change seem like a shock to him.
For the first few days at his foster home, the poor guy had no idea what was happening and he would sleep and sleep for hours in his comfy bed. But he gradually realized Thom was his caretaker and began relying on him with blind faith.

As Moz began feeling better health wise, Thom initiated his introduction with the outside world. He put Moz in a special backpack and started taking him out for his daily walk with the other foster dogs.
Moz went from confused to curious to liberated as the daily exercise helped him come out of his shell.
During one of their walks around the neighborhood, Moz caught the fancy of a sweet 2-year-old girl named Lillian. The toddler had always loved greeting Thom’s foster dogs from her window, but the way she took to Moz was extraordinary.
She was bowled over by his mellow charm and just wanted to protect him and preserve his innocence.

Over the weeks, Lillian began looking forward to greeting Moz every single day. Thom would let her walk him, and this became their everyday bonding ritual.
As for Moz, he happily trotted beside Lillian and went wherever she went. Their fondness for each other was undeniable and Thom was mesmerized to see the rare friendship blossoming between this cute pair!
