Telis is a good natured young shepherd boy who wants to discover everything. What it is like to lie on your back in fresh grass. What it is like to be petted. What it is like to go for walks without struggling for your survival. What it is like to rely on a human and, instead of being pushed away, to be welcomed into their arms. All this and so much more from a life that can finally be carefree and joyful.
Telis arrived at our shelter from the municipal kennel of Krestena and seemed ready to leave everything behind and start over. When we first put a harness on him, he did not hesitate for a moment. He accepted it, looked at us, and surely thought this was his chance. Or at least that is what we felt when we took him for his first walk.
With him, time passes pleasantly and lightly. He has the curiosity to sniff everything, but without insisting when you say “Come on, let’s go now.” He has the enthusiasm to run into your arms, but without becoming demanding. You sit down, and he takes the opportunity to lean against you, resting his weight on you and looking at you with those big eyes, as if to say, “Perfect. Now keep petting me.”
Telis seems to know how to enjoy life and has the rare ability to teach the same to his person. All he needs is a chance to show his character. We are certain that in a family, in a home of his own, he will reveal even more gifts that are still waiting to be discovered.
