Friendly Street Dog Quickly Convinces Family on Vacation to Take Him Home
When Alex and her family first spotted Wilf on the streets of Cypress the lemon Beagle was thin, dirty and scabby. He was in bad shape but his tail was wagging happily after getting food and petted by them. Alex and her family broke down in tears at Wilf’s condition but Alex’s dad quickly made a decision. “My dad said to my mom, ‘Come on, go get the car.’ Let’s take him home,'” she says in the video of his rescue.
When the family got back to their vacation home, they put out cushions and blankets and the dog slept for hours. They then pampered him a shower and took him to a vet who told them Wilf had shrapnel in his ear. His owners likely tried to shoot him and he ran away.
The family wanted to bring Wilf back to the UK to find him a home but they grew to love him so much they knew they couldn’t give him away. With help from Underdog International they managed to sort out the canine passport.
Wilf’s personality began to shine and he’s very naughty and cheeky and obsessed with teddy bears.
And his family? They’re obsessed with him.
Since Wilf’s rescue back in 2019 the family has rescued another dog, Winnie. Wilf and Winnie are best pals.
