Mom Learns Spanish To Speak Her Rescue Dog’s First Language — And His Reaction Is Priceless

 

It was an ordinary day in Tulsa, Oklahoma, until a resident found themselves witnessing an extraordinary and heartbreaking sight. While driving down the road, they suddenly spotted a group of dogs running frantically down the street. But as they kept looking, the number of terrified pups only grew.

What started as a few dogs quickly turned into an overwhelming sight: 12 small dogs, all abandoned and running for their lives, terrified of the passing cars. The situation was dire, and the kind-hearted witness immediately called Puppy Haven Rescue for help.

“They were absolutely terrified of the cars,” recalled Breanne Luiskutty, the president of Puppy Haven Rescue. The more Luiskutty observed, the more troubling it became. She soon realized that every single one of these pups was male, a detail that raised some serious concerns.

"Given the fact that they were small-breed dogs with poodle mixes, it was clear to us that they were likely discarded by a breeder," Luiskutty explained.

Sadly, Puppy Haven Rescue sees cases like this all too often — dogs no longer needed by backyard breeders, thrown away once they’ve outlived their usefulness. The dogs were in rough shape: dirty, hungry, and utterly disoriented. But Puppy Haven didn’t hesitate. They took in 10 of the 12 dogs and placed them into foster homes where they could start to heal.

The first night was difficult for the scared pups. “They were so afraid,” Luiskutty said. “But over time, many of them have started to come out of their shells.”

For the first time in their lives, these dogs were finally experiencing what it felt like to be safe. They huddled together for comfort, cautiously exploring their new surroundings and even stepping outside to enjoy the world. Slowly, the fear began to fade, replaced by a newfound sense of security.

"It breaks your heart to think about what they’ve endured," said Luiskutty. "But there's also a feeling of relief, knowing that their suffering is over."

In the coming weeks, the dogs will receive the care they need: grooming, vaccinations, and neutering. Once they’re fully recovered, they’ll be ready for adoption. And when that time comes, Puppy Haven is hopeful that these deserving pups will finally find families who will love and protect them for the rest of their lives.

“We know they’re all worth it,” Luiskutty said with conviction. “They just need someone to choose them.”
