The puppy had a damaged ear and was blind in one eye. The dissatisfied owner ripped it away from the family and sent it to a city shelter with a high euthanasia rate.
In such institutions, there is a practice of euthanizing animals if there are no people willing to adopt them.

A sad fate awaited the dog with external deformities if it hadn't been noticed in time by Nicole Horabik, a volunteer from the nonprofit organization Cause For Paws.
The adorable shy puppy in the photo immediately caught the girl's attention, and she decided to help him.
Nicole took the dog home and gave him a name - Captain Morgan, or simply Cap.
Veterinary examination showed that the terrier was relatively healthy.
He had an issue with his eye, but his underdeveloped ear had perfect hearing.
The puppy, who became part of a large family with several dogs, was initially shy but eventually started opening up.
It turned out to be a very loving companion who needed the love of a kind owner.
Nicole, who couldn't leave Captain Morgan behind forever, began looking for a permanent home for him.
She created her own Facebook page for the dog, where she shared the sad story of the terrier who became unnecessary to his family because of his unique appearance.
Nicole's posts attracted the attention of many people, and the cute puppy soon found new owners who didn't care about the dog's vision.
Now the dog is living a happy life, all thanks to the caring young lady.
