Shelter Dog Won't Stop Crying. When Vet Realizes Why, He Does This

Shelter Dog Won't Stop Crying

By lilysshPublished 4 months ago 3 min read

In the bustling animal shelter, where countless stories of hope and despair intermingled, one dog’s constant crying stood out. Baxter, a beautiful grey pitbull, seemed inconsolable, his whimpers echoing through the hallways.

Dr. Nolan, a seasoned veterinarian, visited the shelter for a routine check-up but found himself drawn to Baxter's kennel, sensing that the dog's distress was more than just a longing for a home.

It was only after a thorough examination that Dr. Nolan uncovered the heart-wrenching truth behind Baxter's tears, leading him to make an unexpected decision.

All the staff members of the shelter where Baxter lived knew about his heartbreaking cries. It was kind of hard not to know about them, actually, as they echoed through the whole building.

Frederique, one of the staff members, had addressed them to her manager many times, asking if they could get Baxter checked, but he kept refusing, saying it was just because Baxter was a drama queen.

Frederique knew there could be more to it. Baxter didn’t only howl; he actually cried tears as well. His eyes were covered in gooey mush from all the crying, something her manager didn’t know because she was the only one who checked up on Baxter every day, giving him cuddles and drying his tears.

She felt incredibly sorry for the poor animal but didn’t know what to do.

One day, the shelter staff was informed that a veterinarian would be visiting to give some of the animals a routine check.

Hopeful, Frederique had grabbed the information sheet, looking for Baxter’s name. She reviewed the list of animals five times before the truth she dreaded finally sunk in.

Baxter’s name was not on the list. Frederique was heartbroken for him.

How could her manager do this to the poor animal? Was he enjoying it or something? She shot an angry glance at him when he wasn’t looking.

She couldn’t do more than that, as she didn’t want to be fired. If she didn’t work at the shelter anymore, no one would give Baxter his extra love and cuddles.

No, she had to stay for him.

The vet arrived when Baxter was still sleeping. He began to work down his list, going by every kennel that was on it.

Little kittens recently brought in needed medicine for their sneezing, a dog required a blood test, and other animals had various needs. The vet worked quickly, and after a few hours, Frederique heard Baxter's howls. The vet was intrigued but the manager dismissed it as a dog wanting a treat.

Frederique insisted it was Baxter, a sweet Pitbull, and expressed concern about his constant crying. The manager insisted nothing was wrong, distracting the vet from checking on Baxter. Throughout the day, Frederique observed Dr. Nolan's torn reactions to Baxter's cries.

Later, Frederique discreetly invited Dr. Nolan to check on Baxter during the manager's break. She hoped the vet might find something treatable. When her manager confronted her, he warned her not to talk to Dr. Nolan about Baxter, threatening her job.

During the break, Frederique led Dr. Nolan to Baxter's secluded kennel. She revealed that Baxter was moved away due to the manager's annoyance with his cries. Dr. Nolan and Frederique approached Baxter cautiously, entering his dimly lit kennel.

Dr. Nolan knelt down, extending a gentle hand, and Baxter cautiously approached. The vet examined Baxter carefully, speaking soothingly to reassure the distressed pitbull. As Dr. Nolan worked, Baxter's tension eased, and the compassionate touch seemed to convey a promise of safety.
