Steve is an animal rescuer. He is not your typical animal rescuer looking for young, healthy dogs. Steve only the animals that don’t get adopted from shelters: the ones that no one wants because of their old age and health problems.
Steve went to adopt a dog, picked one out, but was then told that that dog had already been adopted. Instead of giving up, he searched for another dog and boy did he find one.
Engelbert, a dog with seemingly endless health issues and non-functional back legs, was the dog that Steve fell in love with instantly. He thought, “If I go home without this dog, no one will ever go home with this dog.”
