The dog showed the owners how unbearable it is for him to be without them.
The 6-year-old spike was given to a shelter in 2012. Before he got to the volunteers, the dog suffered a lot. Very soon he had a new, loving family.
In a two-story house, a cozy sofa was allocated to the dog below. But the cheerful Springer Spaniel immediately showed the owners how to be unbearable without them even for a minute!
Whining on the gate that closed access to the stairs to the second floor, the dog jumped up the barrier and soon settled in their bed.
Spike-hunting dog, he was always full of energy and mischief, but at the same time loved his family. He never fell asleep alone, and always tried to climb under the blanket to be closer to his beloved owners.
Now Spike is 14 years old, he is already a solid old dog and cannot, as before, pass the race behind the tennis ball.
After the second blow, the dog could hardly stand on his own. And yet Morrises are not yet ready to let him go. Doctors share the hope that Spaniel will still be able to delight his owners with their lives, and Spike himself is determined to get out.
However, in the rehabilitation period, abstinence from physical exertion is required.
Mr. Morris calls the pet «old Bob» and personally brings him food and drink «to bed» so that the dog does not get up anymore. The owners do not consider it shameful to endure inconvenience for the sake of the animal.
They sincerely love their old man and are glad that they were able to give him love and faith in man after the unlucky beginning of his life.
