Dogs have a remarkable talent for endearing themselves to people, often without even trying. A simple glance at their joyful faces can brighten anyone’s day. This was always my experience with my dog, a memory I hold dear. One such little pup, a stray, showed this gift beautifully.
Though homeless, she chose to nap in a yard, hoping to be discovered, and her wish came true.
Aly Was Completely Surprised

Just as she was about to take her dogs for a walk, Aly Mac noticed something odd in her yard. On closer inspection, she discovered the sweetest stray dog peacefully sleeping there. As a volunteer for Love Leo Rescue in California, she was determined to help this adorable dog.
She shared with The Dodo: “I wasn’t sure if she was even alive because I kept speaking to her and she wasn’t budging. But then she finally started to open her eyes. I could tell she was very tired and weak and depleted.”

Realizing the walk would have to wait, she brought her dogs inside and fetched some food and water for the stray pup. She tried to entice the dog with food, which was devoured quickly, allowing Mac to leash her and lead her into the house. Upon closer look, she noticed many scars on the dog. It was presumed that the dog had been used for breeding and abandoned once deemed no longer useful, though this could not be confirmed.
Coconut Is Very Popular

After taking her to the vet to check for a microchip, it was discovered that while she didn’t have one, she was infested with parasites, fleas, and tapeworms, requiring treatment. Mac shared: “Once I got her home, I gave her a luxurious flea bath. Although she wasn’t thrilled about it, I could tell she enjoyed a good sleep afterward.” Even though Mac had grown attached to the pup, she knew she couldn’t keep her and sought assistance from her fellow rescuers.
They found a foster home for the dog, now called Coconut, much to Mac’s delight. The story of Coconut was also shared online and gained tremendous popularity.

Numerous adoption inquiries started flooding in, with the rescuers hoping to find the perfect match for Coconut. Ultimately, Coconut was welcomed into her forever home, bringing great joy to her new family. Sasha Abelson, founder of Love Leo Rescue, remarked: “It didn’t take long because she generated so much interest. The video really catapulted her into her forever home.”
It’s heartwarming to see so many people eager to help this dog. I hope Coconut’s journey sheds light on the plight of other shelter dogs who also deserve a happy ending. Wishing her all the best!
