- Video of the rescue goes viral, capturing the hearts of many.
- Cubby finds a loving home and a new canine sister.
In the chilly streets of Kansas, a chance encounter between a man and a stray dog unfolded into a remarkable story of connection and compassion. Izzy White, known on TikTok as @izzywhite_3, shared a video capturing the moment he met Cubby, a dog previously labeled as “unapproachable.”
Cubby had been wandering the streets without a home, but when White offered him food and water, the dog’s demeanor changed instantly.
The local police had noted that Cubby was “unapproachable until [he] came up to him,” highlighting the unique bond that formed between the two.
Without any signs of aggression or fear, Cubby welcomed White’s presence, and the man didn’t think twice about taking him home.
This decision marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
White’s story of Cubby’s rescue resonated widely on social media, accumulating over 564,000 views and 64,900 likes on TikTok.
Initially, White had planned to fly home shortly after finding Cubby. However, he couldn’t bring himself to leave the dog behind “to fend for himself.”
Instead, he chose to cancel his flight, opting for a two-day drive with a friend to ensure Cubby could join him.
Footage from the journey shows Cubby comfortably resting on White’s lap, expressing love and affection towards his new owner.
What could have been a brief two-hour flight transformed into a memorable road trip, but White was more than willing to make this sacrifice for Cubby.
Since then, White has been sharing updates of Cubby settling into his new home, including moments with his new canine sister, Jasmine.
The online community has showered White with praise for giving Cubby a second chance at life.
One TikTok user commented, “He knew you were his dad the minute he saw you.”
Another added, “He’s beautiful. He needed you and you needed him. Healing the soul.”
A different user noted, “You were chosen by him,” while another expressed gratitude, saying, “He found his best friend. Thank you for giving him love and lots of hugs. He’s free now to be a dog.”
