Timothy is one remarkably patient dog. As reported by the PetHelpful website, this Pitbull Mix melted the hearts of an entire community when he was finally adopted.
This big lad spent no fewer than 401 days at the Wags & Walks rescue centre in Nashville, USA.
A tough start in life
When he first arrived at the rescue centre, Timothy was just ten months old. He was poorly, underweight, and suffering from chronic gastrointestinal issues.
Relentlessly cared for by the veterinary team and thoroughly pampered by volunteers, the pup gradually built up his strength over the months.
Emotional applause
After months at the rescue centre, Timothy finally caught the eye of a family who spotted him on social media. The prospective owners decided to contact the centre to arrange a meeting.
It was love at first sight. Timothy tucked into his farewell feast while his devoted carers clapped with emotion, before he hopped into the car to start his new family life.
