The beautiful puppy found in the landfill has a long and happy life, which is expected due to the daily life of rescuers.
Finding dogs at a local landfill is an almost daily occurrence for animal rescuer Takis Prestakis. It was the rescue of an abandoned dog in the landfill that led him to establish the Takis Shelter.
Unwanted dogs are often dumped in the garbage dump on the Greek island of Crete. As the dump leads to Takis Shelter, Takis inevitably goes home with another dog. This is what happened on this particular day when Takis spotted Samu.
Samu was almost mixed with his surroundings. His white fur was the same color as the mattress behind which he was hiding.
“Here we are again,” Takis said in the rescue video (see below) as he released his dog, Zoe, from his car. Takis hopes that Zoe will help her seduce the puppy, and it works.
Once the baby is safely in his car, Takis can not help but admire the puppy. “Look at this beautiful face,” he says, noting that this puppy still has a blue collar.
Takis takes Samu back to his shelter, which is nestled on a mountainside amidst an olive grove. At any given time the shelter is home to 300 dogs.
Samu was shy at first, but the puppy soon relaxes around the other animals and begins to play with the other dogs at the shelter.
It doesn’t take long for Samu to catch the eye of a foreign visitor, who fosters dogs for Takis in her home in Finland.
Samu is soon in Finland and befriends two other dogs rescued from Takis Shelter. He is on his way to having the happiest life!
Watch until the end of the video to see the heartwarming update on Samu!
