Nirvana never asked to live in an empty lot next to a car wash, but when her family left her behind with a blanket and some food, the loyal dog curled up on her makeshift bed and waited for them to return.
“She was lying there for two days,” Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy dog rescue, told The Dodo.
Workers from the neighboring car wash initially saw the dog sleeping on the curb and, when they realized that her kibble supply was low, they set out a new bag of food and called Hall for help.
Nirvana ate the food that was placed out for her, but she spent the rest of her time in the empty lot sleeping. The sad pup slept for almost the entire two days, but she was still almost too tired to react when Hall got there.
“She was so sleepy,” Hall said. “She was just so exhausted from waiting.”
Hall approached Nirvana carefully, so as not to spook her. Even though she was tired, the dog stood up, then greeted her rescuer with a familiar movement.
