As a natural continuation of the Jinx Of 2011 Award, and triggered by the sadness which this award caused, we decided to repeat our original attempt, but this time, to the other extreme. It is clear that all adoptees are lucky, but who had the craziest best luck of the year, and who almost got away from happiness but destiny, in the last moment, placed its finger on its tummy and said “I like You!”.
5. So and So
The story is such – a carton box and two puppies inside appear. We explain to the people that there is no way to accept them, there is no space… The people leave and the carton box with puppies is thrown on the road in front of the shelter, from the car in motion… While wondering what to do with them, two of the guys that work at the shelter as caregivers, look in the box and… distinguished their future new best-friends! The 2 puppies spent all in all 10 minutes in the shelter, and after that they went to wonderful homes, to owners who, we are sure, would take care of them!
4. Zhivka/Meggie
Zhivka was a thrown away bolognese, who Peter brought to us to be neutered. At that time, the shelter was very full and we could not accept new dogs (it actually is like that always but…). Zhivka has to be returned to the street in a couple of days buuut…. It did not happen. Because during her short stay with us, her person appeared. Instead of going back to the street, she went home with Ekaterina. They could’ve passed each other, it was a matter of hours…
3. Focker
Svetlio was going to work. On the Hemus Highway he saw a dog hit by a car, lying on the ground. The cars were speeding around it, it was a matter of seconds for someone to finish it. They would have, but they didn’t. Svetlio picked it up and (guess whether there was space at the shelter at that time?) Vesy Kosturska tooked it in foster care. Nowadays, Focker is a happy Austrian, and perhaps has no idea that his life was hanging off within an inch of his life…
2. Tihomir
Ok, I admit that we just recently told you about him, but what is the probability this to happen in exactly that order? His owners waited for him to deteriorate to such a bad condition, so he would not be able to survive even a week, when they throw him away. They got rid of him in the middle of nowhere. Nadya and Svetlio happen to pass by exactly this day (they don’t do it often, its out of their route) and on top of that, Nadya, who generally is a distracted person, notices the dog in the distance? Well, tell me, isn’t that an unbelievable luck?
1. Kosta
Yep. Now here we can say that this young pup was born with a silver spoon in the mouth. Born and abandoned in a school yard. Up to here – bad. Some mean children beat him. Becomes even worse. Could’ve been the worst but… good starts. Someone notices him (let’s say this happens often). This someone cares (this however is rare). This someone knows Dr. Stankova and calls her. We accept him, amputate his hanging on a bone paw, and it goes to foster home. He becomes stronger, gets used to people, and at the end, the tale ends in Germany, where Kosta becomes a loved pet.
Well, aren’t these doggies lucky?
