Buzu was a dog who lived and roamed in the streets of Romania. He lived in a cardboard box and would roam around to follow strangers.
Because he was just a stray dog, people passing by didn’t pay him any mind.
But a group of rescuers spotted him and realized what Buzu yearned for in his life. Although hardened by his tough life in the streets, what Buzu yearned for was a family he could call home.
Living in the Streets

Buzu was a stray dog who lived by the side of the road. He was getting on in years but, out of necessity, didn’t let his old age stop him from moving about.
He would spend his days scavenging for food in the trash bins or hoping a passerby would share some scraps with him.

He also loved to follow people around. With a longing gleam in his eyes, he would look up at strangers hoping they would notice him. Buzu had a lot of love to give but no one to give it to.

At the end of the day, he would retire to his simple abode: a cardboard box and an old cushion. It was thanks to a kind stranger’s generosity that Buzu got this home.
It wasn’t much but it gave him comfort.
His Rescue

Just as it seemed he was resigned to a life of loneliness, a group of rescuers from Howl Of A Dog spotted him while he was doing his rounds for the day.
The rescuers observed how Buzu would run up to strangers and looked eager to get pats and attention. It was a sad sight seeing him ignored.
The rescuers asked around the area for more info about Buzu. Nobody knew where he came from or if he had an owner, but they guessed that he had been living in the streets for more than a year.

When the rescuers came back, they found Buzu’s box slightly deflated. The cushion was also gone. They knew they had to get Buzu off these streets.
With some treats, they gained his trust and he eventually warmed up to them. Buzu was happy to finally receive some pats and cuddles.
At the Shelter

Buzu’s rough life in the streets has not been kind to him. The rescuers discovered that he was riddled with fleas and had patches of missing hair on his neck, back, and tail.

After a check-up, they found out that he had chronic skin problems that were left untreated for too long. Even after constant medicated baths, the fur in the affected areas never grew back.

Despite that, Buzu was a healthy old dog and he quickly regained his vigor thanks to the love and care he received at the shelter.

Buzu is now living his best life with his adoptive fur-parents in England! His story is so inspiring, that he even got featured in the newspaper.
He no longer has to beg for food or affection and he doesn’t have to worry about his cardboard box being deflated or his cushion getting stolen.
