When the South African rescue group Sidewalk Specials rescued a senior street dog named “Kettle” from Hout Bay Harbour in Cape Town he was in rough shape, but they managed to find him a home. Then they found out Kettle had a sister, and decided they needed to find her and bring her home to their shelter.
Luckily, they found her but the stray dog wouldn’t go with them, despite their gentle coaxing and offer of food. She wanted to show them something instead. They followed after her and, there, behind a car, was a second dog. She was shivering and covered in ticks and in dire need of help too. The female dog did not want to leave her friend behind!
So instead of rescuing one dog, they rescued two, even though they were strapped for resources and did not have a home for either. A short time later? Watch how all the Hout Bay Harbour rescues are doing now!
If you are wondering about Bruno, who you see in the second video, he had been abandoned by his owners and left to fend for himself on the street. But he is sure doing better now! I’m so glad Gracie and Hope got to stay together! All three Harbour Dogs (Kettle, Gracie, Hope) and Bruno have found loving homes. You can’t ask for a better happy ending than that!
Share this heartwarming rescue with your family and friends!
