Some pet owners love their animals unconditionally, while others adopt them as entertainment and dispose of them when they grow old and weak. Unfortunately, the latter group still exists in today’s world.
Heart, a senior German Shepherd, once belonged to a family he thought loved him until they abandoned him in their old house with a broken heart and several health issues when they moved away. Gianna Serena Manfredi and other volunteers at the Qua La Zampa Association found him near Bitonto, Bari, Italy, and named him “Heart.”
Despite his health problems with his ears, spine, and hind legs, Heart was a true warrior, still managing to move around on his own. Gianna and some other women had formed a group named “The Remote Mothers” to take turns looking after the luckless dog.
