A family adopted an Italian Greyhound named Lou from the shelter. Lou was very timid and scared. He was terrified of people and dogs. According to We Love Animals, Lou had come from an abusive owner and had lived a sad and harsh life. The workers at the shelter thought his spirit may have been broken beyond repair. However, Lou’s new family was not going to give up on him. They decided to show Lou the wonderful moments and places that life had to offer. That summer, they took him to the Hamptons!

If there’s a dog that could help anyone enjoy life again, it was definitely Buddha. After all, his name is Buddha! Just look at him, he’s so zen.

He enjoyed the sun on his coat and sand between his paw toes. What a wonderful time for Lou to be alive, especially after all the heartbreak he had been, though.
