Sean Farrell is a dog lover – and once you see what he’s done for his home pack, you’ll realize how deep that love runs.
When Sean met Sgt. Buster, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was just his adoptive father. But then the two clicked and he realized he had to keep the puppy as a permanent member of his pack.
“I’ve had it for a little over two years,” Sean explained via InspireMore. “He didn’t have the best life and that changed the day I met him. At first, I was only supposed to take care of him but I fell in love, and [we both] knew we were meant to be together.”
Unfortunately, like many rescues, Buster suffers from a few different insecurities and fears that developed during his previous life. Buster in particular doesn’t like men except for Sean, he has trust issues, and it can be difficult for the dog and family to calm him down.
However, Shaun refuses to give him up and will do everything he can to help his new fur baby feel comfortable.
While in the house, Buster hid in Sean’s bedroom, refusing to go out for anything but food. It was evident that he was afraid of his surroundings and needed a small, safe space to retreat to.
That’s when his father had a brilliant idea: he was going to make Buster his bedroom.
“The boudoir was an idea to give Buster his cozy place in the same room as my room,” Sean said. “To tell him he could be safe around me and feel safe in his little den at the same time. [After he was done], he went in there almost immediately. It’s been a few weeks now and he’s happy sleeping and hanging out in his house.”
Although Sean didn’t have many carpentry skills, he was willing to learn for Buster’s sake. He searched online, spent $100 on supplies, and got to work.
While he was putting the room together, Sean posted updates on his Facebook page (which, of course, is for his dogs Zook and Sgt. Buster). Along the way, he has gained thousands of followers; People all over the world loved what he was willing to do for his restless little pup!
Since Buster’s bedroom would be part of the family’s living room, Sean wanted it to blend in with the decor.
Even without experience, he was able to create an adorable and cozy little home for his dog using wood and chipboard.
The comic’s bedroom features a cooling fan, mood lighting, a digital photo frame to keep Buster busy, and a small window that lets nervous Posh keep an eye on what’s going on in the house around him.
Even before Sean finished building the bedroom, Buster was eager to give it a try!
Buster is genuinely a lucky pup – not many people would adopt a rescue dog with severe anxiety disorders, let alone go above and beyond the call of duty to make him comfortable at home!
There must be more generous and kind people like Shun in the world. Opening his heart and home to a dog in need, changed Buster’s life forever. I did well!
