Seeing a homeless person or a dog struggling to survive on the streets is a scene that can break anyone’s heart.

His biggest concern in life was undoubtedly his beloved Baby. He wanted to find her a family and not have her be just another helpless dog on the streets.
That’s when Jenine-Lacette opened a GoFundMe donation account. Thanks to this brilliant initiative, the money raised allowed Clifford to feed the dog and rent a room at the Crossland Hotel in the first week, where she would spend her final weeks.

During that time he had the opportunity to see that Baby was adopted by a family that was willing to love and protect her, just as he had always dreamed of.
A new friendship is blossoming between Baby and his new little human. That doesn’t mean Baby won’t forget his favorite human, the one he lived alongside and endured so many hardships, but whose love and dedication never failed him.
She was everything to her friend, and she will forever be in his heart.
