Heartwarming moment – Dog has his chain cut (Video)

The pet pooch – named Bear – had been forced to live outside his owner’s house in Long Island, New York, for almost his entire life. It’s a whole new world for this senior dog who was chained to his doghouse outside for the past 15 years. Animal rescue group Guardians of Rescue got a call about the down-trodden pup, who had spent his entire life outside, even enduring harsh winters with little attention from his owners.

“We received a call about a dog in need of a dog house,” stated Robert Misseri, founder and president of Guardians of Rescue (GOR). “But when we got there, it was even worse than that. That’s when we discovered the poor dog had spent his whole life attached to a heavy chain. We knew then and there that we had to do something to make a difference in that dog’s life, and so we did.” The rescue group spoke to the dog’s owner, who agreed to surrender the pup. The owners had indoor pets and when they got Bear as a puppy, they made him an outside dog, protecting [the property]. “He was a pretty much a guard dog.” The video has revealed the moment Bear has his chain cut by animal rescue workers, telling him: “You’re free!” After his jail break, the dog, now named Bear, was loaded into a car and taken to an animal spa to receive some well-deserved pampering and medical care.

No dog should have to live like this

Guardians of Rescue ultimately plan to find a forever home for Bear, somewhere he can live out the rest of his days spoiled with affection, but until then the group plans to help the canine experience some of the things he has missed. On the docket is veggie burger feasts, swimming lessons, car rides, dog parks and much more. While it was Guardians of Rescue who went and freed Bear, the group wants everyone to know it is concerned animal lovers who truly gave the dog a new lease on life. Bear is now at Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue in Port Jefferson Station, waiting to be adopted. He’s been given a clean bill of health and all his vaccinations. Watch the video, the dog’s reaction was enough to break people’s hearts.
