Man Dedicates His Life To Saving Small Animals After Chihuahua Saves His Life

 

There are many incredible stories about brave dogs who saved the lives of their owners and this is exactly what you are going to see today. However, there is something special about the dog in our story.

While its size cannot possibly help him defend his owner, this small chihuahua named Lady had a different skill. What Lady lacks in size she makes up with her big heart and friendliness.

Bobby Humphrey is not the kind of guy that you would expect to own a small chihuahua. However, a small chihuahua named Lady ended up saving Bobby’s life and the man fell in love with these dogs ever since.

Unfortunately, it all started with a heartbreaking event...

Bobby was dealing with a divorce and his morale was down. The man’s heart was broken and he didn’t want to speak with anyone. Bobby’s friend named Connie kept trying to bring his spirits up, but Bobby kept pushing her away. He wanted to be left alone.

20. A Small Favor

Connie noticed that she can’t get to Bobbie and she gave up. She stopped trying to motivate him. However, she would end up changing his life after asking him for a small favor.

“She messages me one day saying, ‘Do you mind if Lady stays with you for a little while?’” Humphreys recalled.

Bobby accepted the favor and he took Lady in. Connie was worried that the two might not get along, but she didn’t have anywhere else to take Lady while she was out of town. Little did she knew, a strong bond would form between Lady and Bobby.

When Connie came back home, she was shocked to see that Bobby and Lady were cuddling. They weren’t just getting along, they were having lots of fun together. Then, their bond grew even stronger, he said:

“The only thing that was keeping me going was Lady. I’d lay in bed all day with her, we’d play, we got so close. I fell in love with this little dog.”

17. Adopting a Puppy

Before thinking of ever owning a little dog like a chihuahua, he would make fun of other friends that even dared to walk their girlfriends' tiny dogs. But Lady's personality completely changed his view:

“I never even thought of a little dog,” he said in an interview with The Dodo.

Bobby went to the local adoption center and he found a small chihuahua who needed a new home. He named her Kira, and without giving it any second thought, Bobby signed the adoption papers.

But this is only the beginning of this amazing story! Wait until you see him surrounded by funny little chihuahuas!

A couple of months passed since Bobby was with Kira and the man heard about two chihuahua siblings who needed a home. Bobby figured that since Kira and Lady have brought so much joy into his life, he should try and rescue the two chihuahua siblings as well.

"I’m a big guy, but I’m technically living in this little world, because no matter if there’s 37 [dogs] like there are now, or there’s two, my entire life revolves around them,” said Bobby. He is now rescuing all the small animals he finds and is now a happy man, with a huge responsibilty that keeps him busy!

It didn’t take long for Bobby to fill his house with small animals who needed a home. Isn’t it amazing how Bobby’s life turned around from being sad and lonely to being so happy?

Even though Bobby’s house is always full and his food bills are much bigger than before having dogs, Bobby is happier than he ever was. These small dogs repay Bobby’s kindness by loving him.

8. Purpose

The most important thing to come out of this is that Bobby has found a purpose in life. Going through a divorce is difficult, especially when you are all alone. Luckily, Bobby doesn’t have to worry about being alone ever again.

7. Lifesaver

If there is something that we can be sure about, then it has to be the fact that Bobby is a lifesaver. All the small animals that he adopted didn’t have a place to call home and their future didn’t look too bright. Fortunately, Bobby is more than willing to help out.

6. Best Friends

Bobby’s friend, Connie, just wanted to ask for a small favor. She never imagined that letting Lady spend a couple of nights at Bobby’s place would turn the man's life around, but she is happy that this is what happened.

5. Never Happier

Bobby says that he doesn’t see it as him saving the dogs. He believes that they are the ones who saved his life:
“They trust me and they look in my eyes and tell me that they love me so much.”

4. Having Fun

We think it’s safe to say that Bobby is going to have lots of fun every time he goes out to the park. Just imagine how many dogs he has to run after when they go chasing balls around the park.

3. Beach Time

Kira is still Bobby’s best friend and the man likes to take her everywhere he goes. The bond they share is something powerful and nothing will ever break them apart.

2. The Ride Home
