The dog that thought he had lost his family

This lovely pitbull dog believed he had lost his family forever. He had been on the streets for years until one day he was spotted wandering down a very dangerous road and was rescued by the Louisiana Humane Society. Because of his black and white spots, the dog was named Cow!

His docile and friendly demeanor indicated to rescuers that he wasn’t a street dweller, but rather a small, lost, or abandoned dog. Despite being so cute, he didn’t adapt very well to the shelter, showed signs of fear, and growled at people that he met for the first time.

“He was very scared and growled when he met new people. When he was given treats and people talked to him like a baby, he would stop. The way we found him, his reaction is common,” said NeNe Lewis of the Louisiana Humane Society.

His family showed up and he got so excited
