He refused to eat out of concern that it was a ruse and he would receive further punishment.

A puppy that refuses to eat for fear that everything is an evil plan to deceive and mistreat it again, is what breaks our hearts, writes petsdailynews

Benji is a beautiful little dog who spent his early years in the worst possible conditions . Its owner once had to lock it in a cold, cramped space . He went a long time without being able to meet someone who cared about him and for months they simply didn’t give him the food he needed so much.

Benji was saved in South Africa.

To make matters worse, Benji suffered more than hunger. People passing by near him inflicted serious injuries using rocks or any other object they found nearby.

Fortunately, a kind soul understood the serious danger this puppy was in and decided to call a rescue team to deal with the problem.

Benji’s owners said they simply “forgot” to feed him.

The animal rescue organization Sidewalk Specials came to the scene and as soon as they met him , they were heartbroken .

In all their years of experience they had never seen a creature as affected and frightened as Benji. The first thing they had to do was gain his trust from him, but the nervous little dog seemed to believe that everyone who got close to him would only hurt him more .

Benji refused to eat thinking it was just a trick to hurt him.

The rescuers offered him some food to get his attention. He was still very suspicious , but he hadn’t eaten in so long that he couldn’t refuse and he started walking towards them.

The puppy walked with great difficulty and did not stop shaking . Everyone had to go to great lengths to get him to the vet and try to calm him down. Thanks to these loving rescuers, Benji began to receive the help he was long overdue for.

Benji had spent his entire life pinned down in a small concrete room.

However, the most difficult thing in the recovery process would be for the beautiful puppy to understand that he was already safe and could trust humans again.

They gave him a temporary home where they made sure he received the treatment to the letter. After a week, her spirits were getting better and better and she even managed to make her first friend of hers: another rescue puppy.

The wound on his tail will take much longer to heal because he won’t stop wagging from pure joy anymore.

After a couple of months he was ready to look for a forever home .

Thanks to her heartwarming story, it didn’t take long for her to find the right person and now she can count on the security of having a loving mother who will never let her go hungry or cold again.

He still has a long way to go , but he is extremely happy and has already regained his trust in people . Despite his rough past, he is an energetic little dog who lights up the hearts of all who meet him.

We are so happy that Benji is finally safe surrounded by the love he deserves. But it’s not fair that such an adorable creature has to deal with the panic of being hurt again. The abusers have no idea of ​​the damage they cause to these innocent little souls who only know how to give love.

May this shocking rescue story motivate us to speak out against people as inhuman as Benji’s first owner.
