The heartbreaking moment when Trap the rescued pit bull was abandoned was caught on video — and it’s something no animal lover could watch without feeling pain.
His former owner cruelly tied him up outside a shop, then casually told the store owner there was a dog left outside, and walked away forever.
Left confused and alone, Trap looked hopefully at every passerby, searching for the one person who would help him. Thankfully, a few kind souls noticed the scared pit bull’s distress and acted quickly to change his fate.
Rescuers from Mr. Bones & Co.’s One Lucky Pup program rushed to bring Trap to safety. Once in their care, he received all the love and medical help he so desperately needed. During his check-up, they discovered that poor Trap had hip dysplasia and badly decayed teeth. He needed more than just love — he needed surgeries, patience, and time.
His journey wasn’t easy. When the first hip surgery failed, his rescuers didn’t give up. They arranged a second operation and countless physical therapy sessions to help him walk again. He also underwent dental surgery to fix his painful teeth.
Thanks to Trap’s microchip, the rescue team learned his real name and a bit more about his past. But his future was what mattered most now.
Trap was soon placed with an extraordinary foster mom, Kristin, who became his guardian angel. For six weeks, Kristin did everything possible to help him heal — taking him to every appointment, hand-feeding him when he was too drowsy to eat, and even sleeping on the floor beside him so he wouldn’t feel alone.
Under Kristin’s devoted care, Trap blossomed. He loved curling up in cozy sweaters, playing with new toys, and soaking up all the affection he’d missed out on for so long.
When Trap was finally healthy and ready for adoption, fate stepped in one more time. Just as the rescue team prepared to find him a forever family, Kristin called them — she couldn’t bear to say goodbye. Trap had already found his forever home right there in her loving arms.
Today, Trap the rescued pit bull lives his best life alongside the woman who never gave up on him. He’s proof that love, patience, and a second chance can transform even the saddest beginnings into the happiest endings.
May Trap’s story remind us all that no animal deserves to feel abandoned — and that sometimes, the perfect family is the one who never lets go.
