A German shepherd who was found wandering the streets alone last year is patiently waiting to find his forever home. Zeus arrived at Manchester Dog's Home last August and was initially very timid after the team rescued him.
There is a lack of information surrounding much of the five year old dog's background, Manchester Evening News reports. To start with, Zeus is said to have been barking at the rescue team out of fear but staff at the centre have since closely bonded with the homeless pooch over the last 12 months.
His name originates from Greek mythology, named after Zeus, the God of the skies and thunder, who was believed to have ruled as King of the Gods of Mount Olympus. A spokesperson for the charity said: “Over time, once he realised he was safe, he grew confident around some of the staff members.
