Mello lived his entire life as a stray and had no place to call his own. One day, the stray dog spotted an empty and peaceful house in a Los Angeles neighborhood and chose to make it his temporary home for a few days.
The homeowner, who was out of town at that time, discovered the four-legged guest sleeping on her porch after viewing her home’s CCTV footage. The woman quickly phoned her neighbors to see if they could rescue the poor dog, but they were unable to do because the dog had a habit of fleeing whenever someone came to approach him.
Emily, a resident of the same neighborhood, was taking her regular morning stroll with her dogs when Mello unexpectedly approached her. Emily then observed that the stray dog just casually followed her dogs Kokoro and Chibi into their backyard.
The woman revealed that Mello was anxious because the dog’s tail was between his knees and it was lowered. But the dog did not attempt to flee from the kind woman who helped him, indicating that he had realized that someone was finally going to be there to help him out.
Mello finally entered Emily’s home and appeared to have never been inside a house before. Emily recalled that Mello was glancing around the bathroom, so she gave him space until he found his spot.
Emily gave the dog some food to eat and after eating, Mello’s tail began to wag slightly, but he still appeared terrified and uncertain about everything. The woman then took Mello to the veterinarian and discovered that he was underweight.
Emily, her husband, and her two dogs showered Mello with affection, cuddles, and lots of playtime.
After a long time, Mello overcame his anxiety and was eventually adopted by a loving family.
