美國印第安那州一隻叫做布魯斯(Bruce)的10歲黃金獵犬，曾在非法繁殖場生活了9年，幾乎一生都被關在狹小棚舍內，沒有玩具床鋪，甚至也沒有乾淨的水，這樣的牠獲得收養後才第一次體驗到一般寵物犬生活，現在去哪都要帶著玩具。

從沒享受過家的溫暖　黃金獵犬模樣惹心疼

原本生活在非法繁殖場的布魯斯，2024年獲救後被安置在動物收容中心，幾個月後獲得飼主特納(Aubrey Turner)一家收養。特納回憶，當時她和伴侶突然失去3歲愛犬，正在尋找狗狗收養時意外在網站上看到布魯斯的照片，立刻產生想要收養布魯斯的想法。

@seniorboybruce From October 9th 2024-December 21st 2024, we slept on the couch with Bruce every single night until he felt confident enough to try the stairs. He truly went from being terrified one day, to racing us up to the top the next day. That will forever be one of my favorite memories of Bruce ???????????? #dogsoftiktok #goldenretriever #fyp #rescuedog #adoptdontshop ♬ Pieces (Solo Piano Version) - Danilo Stankovic

特納表示，當時由於布魯斯已經9歲，年紀較大再加上患有心絲蟲疾病，讓布魯斯獲得收養的機會渺茫，所以當她看到布魯斯時便決定要帶回家，然而令人難過的是，從小生活在繁殖場的布魯斯從沒享受過溫暖，剛回家時對樓梯都會感到害怕，老是坐在樓梯下方哭泣，完全不敢離開地下室。

從不敢上樓梯到自信奔跑　阿金重拾快樂笑容

在家人長時間的陪伴與細心照顧下，布魯斯後來終於克服恐懼，願意踏上樓梯跑步，甚至走到戶外探險。如今布魯斯已經能夠自在上下樓梯，以前從來沒擁有過玩具的牠，也獲得了堆積如山的娃娃和玩具，無論去哪嘴中總是叼著一隻娃娃，模樣變得自信又快樂。

@seniorboybruce Bruce, my sweet senior boy, was rescued from a puppy mill in October of 2024, where he had spent over 8 years living in a small wooden shed. Trout, my goofy, incredibly sweet kitty, was born on our friend’s street in a small city nearby in April 2025, where the feral cat population runs rampant. He & his 3 brothers were in bad shape & mama kitty stopped caring for them around 4 weeks old. We were able to successfully rescue the kittens, but mama unfortunately ran off & evaded every trap our friend set. We took in the kittens as fosters initially, but we knew very early on that we were going to keep Trout. Though they were all feral, Trout was by far the quickest to warm up to us—I’m talking weeks before the others truly started to feel comfortable with us. We named the other 3 boys Pike, Salmon, and Minnow, with Pike being a black cat & the other 2 being orange tabbies. Salmon & Minnow were adopted by 2 wonderful families, & we ended up adopting Pike as well, who was the most feral of them all (that’s a story for another day ????) Bruce & Trout met when Trout was about 8 weeks old, & he has been completely obsessed with Bruce ever since. They nap together, share treats together, & even share their toys ???? I think they were soulmates in another life ???? #goldenretriever #rescuedog #dogsoftiktok #catsoftiktok #catsanddogs ♬ honeybee - Olivia Rodrigo

溫柔的布魯斯和家中其他寵物也相處融洽，尤其和其中一隻叫做楚奧特(Trout)的虎斑貓感情特別親密，每天一起睡覺、一起分享零食，甚至會一起分享玩具，感情好到讓主人笑稱，牠們前世一定是情人。
