When this 86-year-old retiree relocated to the outskirts of Fort Worth, Texas, several unscrupulous owners paid her a surprise visit to dispose of their unwanted dogs. Therefore, he converted his 13-acre home into a safe refuge for these terrified and abandoned dogs. Over time, these animals grew to become his family, and one of the key reasons for his retirement was enjoyable!
Eugene’s Dogs inspired the unusual concept of a doggy train. He went to work after seeing that his dogs were always the happiest when they were together. He cut holes in plastic barrels and affixed wheels before connecting them to a little tractor, giving his dogs the ride of their lives!
Eugene and his train have piqued the interest of the local dogs. Their fatherly figure takes them on long rides twice a week, during which they are ecstatic!
Every time they board the train, they transform into tail-wagging puppies with shining eyes as Eugene whisks them away through the forests and isolated areas of town. Their favourite noises and sights are when they can smell the air and feel the sun! They have the largest smiles on their faces as they watch life go by around them!
Eugene finds great satisfaction and meaning in his life by saving these dogs, and more appear in the abandoned region on occasion. Eugene not only accepts them into his home, but he also ensures that there is enough room on the train for everyone by adding another barrel car!
