This homeless dogs reaction to seeing the ocean for the first time will make your day!

Video Transcript

Rocky Kanaka (Animal Advocate):

At first, Homer didn’t want anything to do with the ocean, and that’s fair enough after everything that he’s been through. You may have seen Homer’s story on the Dodo. Someone misused a backyard leash and abandoned him. I’ve been fostering him for months to give him time to heal.

In fostering, I’ve learned you can’t tell a dog to trust you. You have to show them. Homer had no reason to trust humans. I knew I needed to take the first step to show him that I really trusted him. So I took him off leash for the first time ever and it’s like he just knew.

Rocky Continues:

Good boy! I’m excited to announce that Homer is officially available for adoption. Even if you personally can’t adopt Homer, you can help by sharing this story so that we can spread the message and find him a loving forever home.
