How can you resist a dog’s smile or their wiggliest, happiest tail wag? The simple answer is – you can’t! Neither could the kind rescuers who found Professor Plum, the abandoned Pittie mix tied to a tree in St. Louis, Missouri. With his unfortunate past behind him, this sweet dog couldn’t hide his happiness when he realized his life was finally changing.
The Moment Of Pure Happiness

Stray Rescue of St. Louis, Missouri, is known for its heartwarming dog rescue stories. This incredible team of animal lovers faces challenging situations daily, and on this fateful day, it was no different. When notified about a dog left tied to a tree in the city, they quickly rushed into action.
Upon arrival, expecting another tough rescue, the team’s expectations were taken aback by the dog’s joyous reaction!

“This pup was tied up outside. As we approached him, he seemed to say ‘oh thank goodness, yes come help me! I’m all by myself! I’m just a baby boy!’,” the rescue wrote on Facebook.
At just a year and a half old, the Pittie was still considered a puppy, desperately needing help. When assistance arrived, he showed his gratitude by enthusiastically wagging his tail.
He quickly warmed up to his new humans, giving them gentle looks and an enthusiastic tail wag.
Here Comes A Shocking Twist
Remarkably, only a few hours after his rescue, Professor Plum found a foster home on the very same day! After his evaluation, this sweet boy was cleared and ready for foster care, all in just a matter of hours.
When he finally arrived at his new (foster) home, something unexpected happened: he reunited with his foster mom from his puppy days! Barb Kumar had taken care of this sweet boy and his sister when they were just weeks old, and now fate brought them back together.
The reunion was filled with kisses and cuddles, and this time, instead of Professor Plum’s sister, he met two other foster siblings. This Pittie was embraced by the entire family with open hearts, and he couldn’t have been happier. After all the hardships, Professor Plum was finally safe, with endless adventures ahead.
He is currently in the process of meeting his new humans, and when the time is right, I am absolutely positive that this friendly boy will find his place in a cozy home. It’s only a matter of time!
