Jenine-Lacette DShazer saw a poor old man living on the streets in the terrible cold and holding his dog in his arms. She couldn’t help herself, she felt the need to go to him and exchange a few words with him, she didn’t know that something very important would happen even for her!
Talking to the man, he found out that his name was Clifford James Herbert and that his dog’s name was Baby. Then she found out a story that shook her…
Cliff used to work on a farm and have his own mechanic shop, but after losing his job, he hit the streets in 2006. The cause was not one of his own: he underwent so many heart surgeries and neck so that they made him unable to work. The old man had cancer and only a few weeks to live.
Then Cliff began to tell her about Baby, the dog he had rescued from the hands of a violent owner who was beating him with a flashlight. Together they kept each other company and always slept in each other’s arms to keep warm at night.
At the end of the conversation, the man couldn’t help himself and asked the kind stranger who stopped to talk to him one last favor: to fulfill a dying man’s last wish: he wanted her to find Baby a new home.
But Jenine-Lacette knew she had to help them both, so she campaigned on the Internet, raised money for the two, and took them off the streets.
She also took some heartbreaking pictures as they struggled to survive a frosty winter and a horrible life. She found another home for Baby, along with a loving family and a little girl who could not wait to become his girlfriend, in addition, he accommodated Cliff in a hotel, so that his last days would be as beautiful as possible!
