In a quiet Detroit neighborhood, a man returning home noticed something heartbreaking: a dog chained in a nearby abandoned backyard, left alone with no sign of care.
Alarmed, he quickly reached out for help. Rebel Dogs Detroit responded without hesitation, sending volunteer Tiffany Perkins to check on the situation.
Perkins didn’t know what to expect when she arrived. But when she spotted the dog, who would later be named Beaker, her heart sank.
The frightened pup was hiding behind a garage, unsure of what was happening.
“Beaker was scared and cowered behind the garage to hide,” Perkins told The Dodo. “As I began calling to him, he peeked around the side.

<p>When I got closer, his tail started wagging, and he leaned into me like he knew he was safe.”</p>

<p>When the chain was finally unhooked from the garage, Beaker dropped to the ground, happily rolling over for belly rubs and giving kisses, completely overwhelmed by the affection.</p>
