18-Year-Old Blind Dachshund Dumped At Shelter Clings To The First Person Who Makes Her Feel Safe

by pawbuzz on in Dogs, Popular 187

Muneca, an 18-year-old blind Dachshund, was surrendered to an animal shelter, leaving her alone and terrified. Now, she didn’t have a home, her vision, or someone to love her.

A volunteer named Elaine Seamans went to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center in Los Angeles to visit Muneca, and was the first person to really show her love. Muneca leapt right into her arms and clung to her, never wanting to be put down.

Photographer John Hwang was on his way to a photography shoot when he saw Seamans and Muneca. He snapped a picture of them, which was eventually posted online and went viral. The photograph showed Seamans holding Muneca in her arms, with Muneca clinging tightly to her.

They wanted whoever saw the picture to feel a connection to it, and to feel the same way Seamans did. And it worked. A rescue group called the Frosted Faces Foundation saw the photo and wanted to get Muneca out of the shelter immediately. They took her at the veterinarian and then placed her into a foster home.

    My furry soulmate crossed the rainbow bridge at 151/2. Was the last person he saw. I made sure he had a good life. Devastating without my forever dog. I have a 161/2 year old

    Poor little lady. I’m so pleased she found a loving mummy to love her for ever and God bless that mummy for taking her home. As for the nasty gits that gave her up, I hope their kids will shove them in the worst nursing home on the planet and leave them there with love or happiness. Damned you nasty people. You should be banned from having any dogs for the rest of their lives!

    I’m probably gonna unfollow you cause I can’t handle these sad and abandoned dog pics/articles anymore even if they have a happy ending it is too hard to see

    I can read the details on this dog. If she’s in Ontario, Canada, I will take her home. 2 of my 3 dachshunds went to Rainbow bridge and I miss them. I only have one left with us now.

    She has the same name as my 13 year old dachshund. If people only knew older dogs are the best. Always chill, not hyper and easier to get along.
