It’s always disheartening to see a dog who’s been abandoned. These poor animals just want to be loved, but often through circumstances out of their control, they get left behind and have to fend for themselves.

This was what happened to a cocker spaniel in Los Angeles.

When an abandoned cocker spaniel was reported to be roaming around a neighborhood in Los Angeles, a few good people came to his rescue. Hope for Paws is a non-profit organization that strives to help lost, hurt, or abandoned animals find homes. This particular case was a little more dire for this dog.

Hope For Paws had gotten the call about Amos from a few concerned neighbors who saw the dog wandering around the streets. According to a few of the residents in the area, the dog had been spotted wandering around for nearly a month.

Amos was in bad shape when the rescuers found him, and he was very wary of people, suggesting that his home life might not have been the best before being left out on the streets.

After catching the stray dog, rescuers used a cheeseburger to feed the starving dog and help him feel more comfortable.

His clear distrust of people is enough to break anyone’s heart. Thankfully, one kind-hearted rescuer by the name of Lisa was able to get close enough to Amos to feed him and even get a leash on him.

After being taken to the vet and helped back on his feet, Amos is a much happier, healthier dog.

A foster family took Amos in and helped him recover further. Thanks to the amazing volunteers of Hope For Paws, Amos began to recover from his ordeal.

Many people took to the comments of the YouTube video to share their love of the rescue.

One commenter wrote:

“Eldad really is a dog whisperer. When he says “no” or “shhh”, dogs really listen”

Another added:

“The way that Amos gave her a hug rather than his paw..respect.”

Amos’ story also has a happy ending!

A few months after his rescue, Amos was put up for adoption, and it didn’t take long before he was scooped by the perfect family. Amos now has a wonderful place to live out his life with people who love him.
