A woman named Jessie Goetze spotted a lonely dog running along a rocky beach in New South Wales and feared he was lost. After posting his photo online, she learned the heartbreaking truth he’d been abandoned.
Goetze went back to the beach every single day, watching him stand in the water as if searching for the family who left him. For over a month, he refused to go near anyone, terrified and confused.
Then one day, everything changed.
The dog slowly approached Jessie and ate from her hand then climbed right into her lap.
She named him Ocean and brought him home, where he instantly bonded with her kids and couldn’t stop wagging his tail. Once he healed, Jessie helped him find a loving forever home.
After weeks of heartbreak, Ocean finally got the second chance he deserved. ![]()
