Upon hearing that a little puppy had wandered onto a hazardous construction site, a dedicated rescuer wasted no time and immediately got on the road.

As he traveled, he reminisced about all the animals he’d helped find new homes and knew he’d do the same for this pup.

The drive was long, but he was determined not to give up on this adorable little one.

Once he finally reached the site, he realized he had a massive area to scour, so patience was key.

He searched tirelessly all over for the puppy, but it seemed to be a wild goose chase. Then, he noticed a mother dog rummaging through the garbage for scraps to eat.

Realizing the mom had recently had puppies, he offered her some tasty snacks.

The enticing smell of the treats lured another pup over to share. After playing with these two for a while, the rescuer had to get back to finding the missing pup.

Perseverance Wins

After several more attempts, he finally stumbled upon the elusive puppy.

The little one was hiding behind debris, wary of the stranger nearby.

The rescuer kept his distance and used a soothing voice to reassure the frightened pup that he was only there to help.

The pup remained hesitant and refused to budge. But then, he realized the little one was stuck. Approaching gently, he was able to free the puppy quickly.

Fortunately, the pup wasn’t petrified and allowed the rescuer to pick him up and carry him to safety.

This charming little guy was in poor shape; he was filthy and showed no interest in food. Time was of the essence, so the rescuer hurried to the vet.

But upon arrival, the puppy returned to his shy ways.

He hid inside his box, reluctant to meet the vet. Nevertheless, the vet conducted a thorough examination, gave him some medicine, and off he went to his new home with the rescuer.

Once home, the man gave him a much-needed bath. As he washed away the grime, he was surprised to discover the pup was actually a lovely white and beige combo!

No more scavenging through unsafe buildings for scraps to eat for this pup.
