Wayne’s story starts in the hardest way to begin: he was left at a facility in a crate with a simple handwritten note—“Hi, my name is Wayne, please find me a good home.” No explanation, no goodbye, just hope in the form of a sentence.
And somehow, despite that, Wayne is still exactly what he’s always been: sweet, social, and deeply people-oriented.
Now he’s waiting for the part of the story where someone finally says, “I’ve got you.”
