Mello lived his life as a stray and did not have any place that he could call home. The stray dog saw an empty and quiet house in one Los Angeles neighborhood, so he decided to stay there for a couple of days and made it his temporary shelter.
The homeowner, who happened to be out of town, found out about the four-legged visitor sleeping on her porch when she decided to watch her home’s CCTV footage. The woman immediately contacted her neighbors to see if they could rescue the poor pup, but they could not do it because he always ran away whenever someone approached him.
A woman named Emily, who also lived in the same neighborhood, happened to be on her usual morning walk with her dogs when Mello suddenly approached her. Emily recalled that Mello just followed her dogs, Kokoro and Chibi, into her backyard.
Emily shared that Mello was nervous because the dog’s tail was down and in between his legs. However, Mello looked like he realized that someone was finally going to help him because he did not run away from the kind woman who helped him.
Mello eventually went inside the house and looked as if he had never been inside a home before. Emily recalled that Mello was looking around sheepishly, so she gave him space until he found his spot in the bathroom.
Mello started showing a little bit of a tail wag after he ate, but he still looked scared and unsure about everything. Emily shared that she took Mello to the vet for a checkup and found out that he was underweight.
Emily, her husband, and her two dogs gave Mello all the love, cuddle, and playtime he deserves. Mello moved past his anxious self after quite some time and was eventually adopted into a loving family.
