In fact, we should never forget that a little amount of love can go a long way, and it’s sometimes all it takes to change a shy, puppy into an affectionate, trusting companion. When Sam Clarence adopted Stanley from a bully breed rescue in Christchurch, New Zealand, that’s exactly what happened. Stanley was discovered as a stray at the age of six months, living with his sister and mother.
Clarence volunteered as a dog walker at a local shelter and was invited to foster one of the puppies for a few weeks. He had no idea that this foster puppy would become his most devoted companion. While Clarence fell in love at first sight, Stanley was not so lucky. He was afraid, and just getting out of the car took him an hour.
Every day, Clarence worked with him, assisting him in adjusting to his new life and living situation. He came to have complete faith in Clarence, to the point that the two of them were always touching.
He’d always have at least one paw on Clarence’s back as he lay behind him. When they’re on the road, Stanley makes sure to keep a close eye on Clarence. When Clarence moves, Stanley follows suit. He is a very loving dog who does not hide his feelings.
Hopefully, Stanley is no longer afraid. He adores his new father and is so thankful to have been given a second chance at life. Stanley has grown from a fearful, shy puppy to a gregarious, outgoing dog. Everyone he encounters, including other dogs, he adores.
