Man Rescues An Abandoned Puppy Only To Find Out Later That It’s Not A Dog!

A Morning Walk in the Siberian Woods

This man didn’t expect to find something during his walk. As time passed by, he was surprised to find out that the animal he took in wasn’t a puppy.

When Andrey Musenko woke up during a cold winter morning, the first thing he thought about was warming himself up with some exercise. He wasn’t in the mood for anything too strenuous, and he eventually settled on a nice long walk.

Fortunately for him, he lived in one of the more remote areas of Siberia, and there was a forest located behind his house. The man slipped on his boots, grabbed his thickest coat, and headed outdoors.

Andrey followed a clear footpath where many people before him had walked and where many more would follow him. He visited the woods often, and his journey was always the same.

On this day, he wanted to try something different, so he took a left and went down a path he had never seen. The trees seemed wider in this new area, and they were very tall. Andrey could only see a little bit of sunshine peeking through the leaves.

A Cry for Help in the Snow

All of a sudden, Andrey heard an unusual sound. Even though it was faint, he could already tell that it was a cry for help.

He followed the sound since it wasn’t too far from where he was. It didn’t take long for him to find the source.

Curled up against a tree was a baby animal. It was a puppy.

The puppy’s eyes were closed. It looked no more than a few weeks old.

Andrey couldn’t imagine why anyone would have abandoned a helpless creature in the middle of a forest. The sight broke his heart.

He stepped closer to the shivering animal with outstretched arms. He picked up the puppy and held it close, hoping that his gloved hands would be able to provide some warmth to the poor animal.

Rescuing the Abandoned Cub

He didn’t have any time to think about anything other than keeping the pup safe. Andrey rushed home as the man rescued an abandoned puppy.

His gut feeling told him that this was going to be one of the most important things he had ever done. When he finally arrived back at his house, he took some blankets out and wrapped the ice-cold puppy up.

He ran around to turn the heating on and collect some water. After a few minutes of being within Andrey’s care, the puppy had stopped shivering.

It already looked like it was in a better state. Andrey called the local vet and asked for a checkup.

He wanted to make sure that the animal was healthy and happy. Andrey had known the puppy for no more than a few hours, but already he could tell that they were going to become very close.

The Mystery of the Growing Appetite

Once again, he didn’t really think his plans through and simply trusted his instinct. He adopted the stray pup and named him Akela.

Over the next few months, Akela grew larger. Andrey noted that this new pet had a big appetite.

It had been that way since the first day they had met. However, Akela’s hunger only grew with time.

Andrey knew that young animals required a lot of nutrients. In particular, canines and other mammals needed to feed on a regular basis to sustain their energy and weight.

And yet, Akela’s eating habits continued to surprise Andrey. As Akela grew bigger, his facial features seemed to sharpen, but his body shape grew wider.

One thing that began to gnaw at Andrey’s mind was Akela’s breed. It was a mystery that he couldn’t crack.

Seeking Answers for a Mystery Breed

It was just a little bit of curiosity since he had never seen a dog like Akela before. Andrey had a lot of friends who were dog owners, so he turned to them with this burning question.

They had no clue. They were just as confused as Andrey was.

He sent people pictures and videos of Akela at different stages, hoping that someone would have an answer. And yet, his efforts were in vain.
