A change of heart: Big man transformed by a chihuahua, devotes his life to rescuing small dogs.
According to the gentleman, he is an avid animal enthusiast and has a preference for large canines.
Humphreys used to have small dogs at home, which he wasn’t particularly fond of, but his wife adored them.
However, Humphreys’ perspective has undergone a complete transformation.
Shortly after his wedding, he sustained a shoulder injury during training, which necessitated surgery. The injury took a toll on Humphreys, leaving him feeling depressed.
As the bodybuilder’s shoulder gradually healed, he attempted to overcome his anguish, but the depression proved to be overpowering, hindering his progress.
It appeared that everything in Humphreys’ life was bleak until a friend contacted him and asked, “Would you mind temporarily looking after my Lady (dog)?”
Although Humphreys had heard about his friend’s canine companion and had no desire to meet it, this time he felt obligated to do so.
Grateful for his friend’s support during challenging times, the man agreed to temporarily adopt the dog.
One day, upon returning home from work, Humphreys discovered the little dog occupying its usual spot beneath the TV.
Around 15 minutes later, his wife decided to check on her husband, only to be astonished by the sight of the small dog nestled in his arms.
Over the course of a few months, the bodybuilder and the petite dog forged an unbreakable bond, becoming best friends.
“She didn’t just change my perspective, she transformed my life,” Humphreys affirms about the dog.
“She restored my self-esteem. Despite all the difficulties I had faced, the dog breathed life back into me and made me realize that I’m not such a terrible person after all.”
There were days when Humphreys couldn’t muster the energy to get out of bed due to sheer lethargy.
In such instances, the canine companion provided solace, and spending time with it was immensely therapeutic.
On occasions, the dog’s owner, who was a friend of the bodybuilder, would drop by to check on their beloved pet.
Frequently, he would find Humphreys reclining on the bed alongside the dogs.
This prompted the man to contemplate getting a pet of his own.
After all, his friend’s dog wouldn’t be with him forever, yet he had already grown attached to the animal.
Humphreys didn’t have any specific preferences regarding breeds.
He simply longed for a companion resembling his current four-legged friend.
The bodybuilder came across a one-year-old Chihuahua named Kira who bore a striking resemblance to his friend’s dog in terms of coat color.
Subsequently, other pets joined the family, namely Harley and Quinn.
Humphreys embarked on the journey of raising and training his very own pets.
He vowed to himself that he would never subject his furry companions to cruelty and would love them unconditionally.
Driven by this conviction, Humphreys started welcoming animals that had been overlooked for adoption.
His heartfelt mission is to demonstrate that every pet deserves affection, love, and respect.
