Campaign ManagerIt is normal for a pet to love its owner, right? Most pets are not afraid to show that they really love their owners and would do anything for them. Dogs are one of the most preferred animals to have as pets. We all know that a dog’s love is unconditional and that will go to extreme lengths for the sake of their owners. This dog right here had been kept in an animal shelter and had been adopted by other families. But for some reason, he would always find a way to run away to meet up with his first family. Find out the mysterious reason why…
Animal Shelter Equals Jail?
There has been a lot of claims that animal shelters are equivalent to a jail for humans by multiple animal lovers. Some animal shelters do not take care of the animals they keep and most of them have been notorious for even abusing and neglecting them from time to time. However, we must keep in mind that it is better for an animal to be cared for in a shelter than be left out on the street, where danger lurks in every corner. The question is, do these animals prefer to be there or not?
Everyone Meet Gumby
This is Gumby, a hound who has a talent for escaping his adoptive family homes. Surely he must be going through such a hard time at the shelter for doing this so many times. Do you think this is a problem caused by the dog or a problem that is occurring because of its adoptive family? Just imagine, the fate of the poor dog if he were to have been adopted from a shelter only to be abused by his new family who is supposed to love and comfort him dearly. It is indeed very intriguing.
A Leash Does Not Stop Him
So then a question arises. Does he not get chained or tied down if he tries to escape? It has come to a point where he cannot be tamed like a typical dog. There isn’t a leash that can contain him, and if you try, you’re going to be really disappointed, because he’s so good at escaping. He had even been compared to a magician and some even claim that he makes David Copperfield look like an amateur. Such a dog with a talent to escape this well is truly impressive at some point.
A Lonely Dog In A Lonely World
As a stray dog, he was never under anyone’s control or care. So that basically means that he never had to obey or be restrained. He was living his life without a master to train him and keep his behavior in check. In fact, he had been wandering around South Carolina when he was 4 years old. This dog had been living off of what the streets had to offer for quite some time. Then his life turned around after a year or two went by. But eventually, he was picked up and taken to the safety of the Charleston Animal Society.
Everybody Loves Gumby
He was so charming and adorable that even just a few moments with him was enough to be under his spell. Can you blame them though? Just a look at this dog and you can quickly tell that he is not of the vicious kind or the type that would inflict harm on other near him. The folks working at the Charleston Animal Society had fallen head over heels in love with him, and the feeling was mutual. Gumby was very happy to be around all these people and he was always excited to play with anyone who would spare their time with him.
Gumby The Escape Artist
As most of the procedure in the animals shelter goes, the dog was put up for adoption. Since Gumby is a very charming dog, offers started pouring in and pretty soon he found himself the most suitable adoptive family. So very quickly, Gumby was adopted, but he was one slippery four-legged pooch so you know by now what he would be up to. This dog did not like to be tied down so obviously there was trouble coming its way for the people that adopted him. How were they to know that he had this habit?
