Homeless Man Asks Stranger To Find Home For His Dog

Life tends to throw us curveballs every now and then. Sometimes, we expect it, other times – it’s news that leaves us in total shock not knowing what to do. When the latter happens, it’s comforting to know that we have someone in our lives who can help us through the difficult time and hopefully, we can land back on our feet. But in the case of a tragedy with no one or nowhere to turn to, life becomes dismal. And that is what happened to this man named Clifford James Herbert.

James once lived a happy and peaceful life but then something terrible happened that turned his life upside down and left him to fend for himself on the streets. Although this story is sincerely heartbreaking – it does have a somewhat happy ending.

It all started with James losing his job working on a farm in 2006 due to health complications. He had undergone surgery on his heart and throat, which left him incapable of working. He was living with cancer and given only a few weeks to live. James, in his poor condition, was left homeless. His only solace was his dog named Baby.

Then, a woman named Jenine-Lacette DShazer saw James huddling with Baby on a cold winter’s night. Her heart broke for the pair of them and she stopped to talk with him. The man, after explaining his health complications, persisted to ask this stranger a very important question. He was looking for a wonderful forever home for his canine companion. James had adopted Baby after he found out that she had suffered abuse from her previous owners and he hoped to give her a better life.

Jenine-Lacette accepted James’s offer and also set up a GoFundMe account, in hope of getting James and baby off the street. In this way, James was able to be put up in a motel and Baby was offered a loving home in which to spend the rest of her life.

While this story is truly heartbreaking, it also highlights the sheer beauty that we, as humans, are capable of. Jenine-Lacette was able to help a man and his dog in the most beautiful way possible.
