Some individuals cherish their pets with unwavering devotion, while others acquire animals for amusement only to discard them once they become old and feeble. These heartless individuals can be found worldwide, showcasing a lack of empathy.
The German shepherd in this narrative once believed he was part of a family, only to be abandoned when he aged and became paralyzed. Left behind in their former residence when they relocated, the elderly dog suffered from a broken spirit and various health issues. Upon discovering him near Bitonto, Bari, Italy, Gianna Serena Manfredi and other volunteers from the Qua La Zampa Association named the neglected canine “Heart”.
Despite experiencing difficulties with his ears, spine, and back legs, Heart managed to navigate his surroundings independently, demonstrating remarkable resilience.
Gianna and a few other women had formed a group called “The Remote Mothers” to take turns caring for the unfortunate dog, and Heart was overjoyed that he had found true love in his final days. These days, however, did not last forever. He was only able to stay with them for a year.
Despite having issues with his ears, spine, and two hind legs, Heart was able to move around on his own. He was a true fighter.

When it was time for him to go, Gianna decided to accompany him on his final trip to the sea. And it was absolutely wonderful.
“And we went to the beach, which was lovely. “The wind caressed my ears, the waves pounded against the rocks, the sound of the sea in the stillness of winter,” Gianna wrote. “It was extremely relaxing.” I almost fell asleep, forgetting all the pain of being abandoned by those who loved me little, the pain of the sores that are beginning to appear, and the pain of not being able to run with that puppy chasing his stone.”
Heart died peacefully not long after, knowing he was loved and cherished. It was heartbreaking, but at least he went to a better world where he would no longer be neglected.
