Meet Anthony Rogers, a man who doesn’t have much in life, but is fortunate enough to have a loving companion by his side – Bobo, his Staffordshire terrier. Despite facing challenges that left him homeless in Memphis, Tennessee, Anthony is never alone with Bobo’s unconditional love and loyalty always by his side.
Even though Anthony faced financial challenges, he never neglected to take care of Bobo. However, one day, he woke up feeling unhappy as he realized that Bobo was no longer by his side.
Anthony was in a hurry as he combed the surrounding areas, hoping to locate his lost furry friend. However, his efforts were in vain, and despite keeping a hopeful attitude, Anthony couldn’t help but worry as he and his friend canvassed the town with flyers of Bobo. As time went by, there was still no sign of Bobo. One day, Anthony’s friend got a call from Memphis Animal Services, informing them that they had found a dog resembling Bobo.
When the worker at the Memphis shelter saw the posters about a lost dog, they weren’t entirely sure if the pup they had rescued was the same one. Anthony didn’t wait around and immediately hurried to the shelter to find out. The moment the door opened, there was no doubt that the dog was his. Bobo, the furry friend, leaped into Anthony’s embrace so joyfully that it brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
Katie Pemberton, the representative of the animal shelter, shared how witnessing pure happiness was an unforgettable encounter. She mentioned that the entire team felt fortunate to have been a part of such a heartwarming moment. Working in animal shelters can take a toll on one’s emotions, and experiencing such unbridled pleasure is like getting a recharge.
During Bobo’s stay at the shelter, he received several treatments including spaying, microchipping, and vaccination to maintain his good health and well-being. Thankfully, Bobo tested negative for heartworm, which was a huge relief.
On their Facebook page, the shelter announced that they were able to reunite Anthony with his dog, Bobo. To ensure Bobo’s welfare, they also gave him a year’s worth of heartworm treatment, food, and some accessories like a leash, collar, and ID tag. According to the shelter, Bobo was in great shape and happy to be back with Anthony. The internet was moved by the touching reunion and a friend of Anthony started a GoFundMe page that raised a whopping $16,850 to help them get back on track. This was a beautiful moment shared between a homeless man and his beloved dog, filled with pure joy and happiness.
