Loneliness can be difficult for anyone, especially when we are in unfamiliar surroundings. The same principle holds true for both people and other living creatures. When they leave their familiar surroundings and enter a different place, they may feel lonely and nervous.
This was the case for Ruggles, a Shih-Tzu puppy who was rescued from a terrible puppy mill. Ruggles had a very poor life before, and he must have felt very scared and confused after leaving such a place. Fortunately, the compassionate people at Cherokee County Animal Shelter welcomed him and wanted to make him happy.
But Ruggles did not adjust easily to his new home. He required some time and some assistance. And the shelter had just what he needed: a friend who was as tiny as him. Her name was Chompers, and she was a kitten who was discovered alone under a porch when she was only two days old. The shelter introduced Chompers and Ruggles to each other, and they instantly became best friends.
Watching Ruggles and Chompers have fun together makes they happy. They have a lot of enthusiasm and they like running around and having fun with toys. But their friendship is more than just play – it demonstrates how resilient animals are, and how they can overcome anything with the support of a friend.
If you ever feel unhappy, you can learn from Ruggles and Chompers and look for someone to be with. Whether you have a furry companion or a human one, you are never alone. Someone always cares about you. And if you want to brighten up someone’s day, you can send them this story – it will surely make them happy.
