An American family, who already had 3 stray dogs, added one to their home. A canine crossed by chance on a motorway rest area. The man of the house could not resist in front of a face both sad and in search of love.
Stopping at a rest area between Arkansas and Missouri , Bill didn’t expect to adopt his fourth dog . However, after using the toilets at the rest station on the motorway , the man found a canine in his passenger seat in a very bad condition.
As he tells Bright Side, the animal must have entered the vehicle through the window, left open. He was painful to see, hungry , sad and presumably exhausted. Bill got caught up in the game. He gave some cookies to his new companion who didn’t ask for so many.

When parked outside his home, Bill saw River refusing to get out of the vehicle on his own. Probably traumatized in the past. Afraid of abandonment ? Bill hugged him, then sent him home. A veterinary examination , taken in stride, revealed some injuries to the neck and face , as well as a heartworm . Nothing serious. River has now fully recovered, and is having a great time with his new family.
