Then his journey to understand his newest animal friend inspired an adorable and incredibly moving comic, too.
Rescuing animals is a big commitment, and of course it doesn't come without challenges.
When adopting any animal, there's fear and uncertainty about their past life. Were they abused? Were they malnourished? How will they respond to humans?

Today, he can rest easy knowing one less dog is in need. And that's proof enough that adopting a dog can make the world a better place.
