Herschel, a beautiful German Shepherd, spent the first five years of his life in heartbreaking conditions—chained up, neglected, and forgotten. His teeth were worn down from desperately trying to chew through the chain that held him captive.

After years of suffering, Herschel was rescued and brought to a shelter. But even then, his journey wasn’t easy—he was adopted and returned twice, each time losing hope. That changed when the rescue group Found Animals stepped in, vowing that Herschel would never feel abandoned again.

Before bringing him to his new forever home, they gave him one unforgettable day—including a visit to the ocean. His reaction? Pure joy. Herschel barked, jumped, and howled with excitement. For the first time, he tasted freedom—and the sea breeze. A powerful moment of healing, captured forever.
