Man Found A Puppy Living In A Shoe, So He Took Her Home And Changed Her Life
Goran Marinkovic does a job very few people have the stomach for: he cares for the hundreds of malnourished and abandoned dogs in his city of Kraljevo, Serbia. Though the streets are overrun with strays, Goran has seen firsthand how easy it is for people to turn away from such an upsetting sight. But one day, while feeding a pack of strays, Marinkovic came across a sight even the most hard-hearted person wouldn’t be able to ignore.
The fate of a stray
“They share the same fate as a legless doll that bored a child,” Marinkovic once wrote on Facebook about a group of stray dogs. He’d discovered them wandering around a dump, eating garbage and anything else they could find. Sometimes, his pleas on social media for people to rescue these animals are answered.
Sacrificing everything
But more times than not, there are simply too many strays living in such horrible conditions for them to all be adopted. That’s why Marinkovic is determined to help as many of these poor animals as he possibly can, even if it means occasionally going hungry himself.
Endless hunger
“In Podgorica I bought [stray dogs] 6 kg of sausages [and] granules and since there were a lot more [dogs] than I thought, we were left without our sandwiches, pie, bread and poppy seeds,” he wrote on Facebook. Still, his own hunger was nothing compared to what the strays face every day.
Finding their forever homes
The most heartbreaking part of Marinkovic’s day is if he happens to come across a dog who has succumbed to the harsh living conditions. Whenever this happens, he recommits himself to finding these animals a forever home. And one day, he was finally able to make this dream a reality.
