While traveling, Wes and Enes encountered a heartbreaking scene on the side of a mountain: a small puppy, later named Blue, covered in wet spray paint and injured. Despite his condition, Blue wagged his tail happily when receiving their affection. Determined to help, the couple took him to their hotel for a bath.
Moved by Blue’s plight, Wes and Enes gently wrapped him in a blanket and carried him to their vehicle. Despite his injuries and the spray paint on his fur, Blue’s tail wagged with gratitude. Their immediate concern was to get him clean and assess his injuries.
At the hotel, Wes and Enes filled the bathtub with warm water and carefully washed the spray paint from Blue’s fur, speaking to him soothingly to keep him calm. Blue cooperated, sensing their kindness. After the bath, they noticed he had cuts and bruises, likely from his ordeal on the mountain. They cleaned his wounds and provided him with food and water, which he devoured eagerly.
The next day, they took Blue to a local veterinarian. The vet treated his injuries and confirmed that, despite his rough start, Blue was otherwise healthy. Wes and Enes knew they couldn’t leave him behind, so they made arrangements to adopt him.
Blue’s transformation from a spray-painted, injured puppy to a cherished family member is a testament to compassion and quick action. Wes and Enes’s decision to rescue him not only saved Blue’s life but also brought immense joy and love into theirs, highlighting the importance of helping animals in need and the profound impact of such acts of kindness.
While on the mountain, the couple also saw a mother dog and three other puppies resembling Blue, speculating that they were his family. Knowing they couldn’t leave Blue in his dire condition, they gently picked him up and carried him back to their hotel, determined to care for him.
Blue’s first bath revealed he had been deliberately sprayed with ink. Despite his injuries, Blue seemed content to soak in the warm water and later took a nap. However, at 2 A.M., he woke up in agony, panting with a high temperature. The couple rushed him to a 24-hour vet, who believed Blue had fallen off a hill and was in critical condition. Without their intervention, Blue would have likely passed away.
The vet kept Blue for ten days, providing necessary shots and ensuring his proper healing. During this time, Blue transitioned from a street dog to a domesticated pet, becoming accustomed to human companionship and the comforts of a loving environment. Wes and Enes grew deeply attached to him but knew, as full-time travelers, they couldn’t provide the stability he needed. They decided to find him a loving forever home.
They shared Blue’s story on Instagram, quickly gaining attention and adoption offers. After careful consideration, they chose Austin and Tori, who had a one-year-old Golden Retriever named Bogey. Blue flew from Turkey to Denver, Colorado, to his new home, where he quickly adapted and thrived.
Wes and Enes believe destiny brought Blue into their lives, reminding them of love and compassion’s incredible power. Their story is a testament to the impact of kindness and the connections that can form between humans and animals, inspiring others to extend a helping hand to those in need.
