Regrettably, the puppy remained rooted in place, clinging to the hope that his owners would return. In an effort to gain his trust, Norton offered him treats, gradually instilling a sense of comfort and security within the young canine.

As I lifted him and carried him toward the animal control truck, I could sense his happiness. His tail vigorously wagged against my back, indicating his newfound sense of security," shared Norton with The Dodo.

Following a thorough grooming session and administration of essential vaccinations, Norton transported him to the Brookhaven Animal Rescue League, a compassionate no-kill shelter.

In an attempt to locate the pup's previous owners, Norton shared a photo of him, although she holds little hope in finding them, as they would likely face penalties for neglect.

The BARL Facebook page now features photos, which quickly garnered significant online attention. Subsequently, the rescue center bestowed the name "Lazy-Boy Gatson" upon the adorable puppy.

With his heartwarming story, Lazy-Boy Gatson has captured the hearts of many and become a beloved canine figure. Thanks to the care he received, he is now thriving and content.
