Dull and Matted
The dog had obviously been neglected. He had been mistreated by his owners if he had any. The poor thing looked ill, his coat dull and matted and his nose chafing. She walked around him so that she could see his face, tears swelled up behind her eyes.
She was convinced that he pushed his way through her gate hoping that she’d find him. His eyes had been filled with sadness. He desperately needed help, but she hadn’t realized how much.
