Iliza Schlesinger is known for her stand-up comedy. She’s constantly on the road doing shows all over the country and she does an amazing job making people laugh. And wherever Iliza goes, she always brings her beloved dog, Blanche, with her.
Iliza considers Blanche as her soul dog and they’ve spent years together. Unfortunately, Blanche passed away due to old age and Iliza was heartbroken. Blanche’s passing devastated Iliza and left a big hole in Iliza’s heart.
Iliza waited for a sign to adopt a dog again. One day, while making candy, Iliza realized that she ran out of sugar. Iliza decided to quickly run to the nearby store to buy more sugar when she saw a woman there with some dogs. When Iliza asked about the dogs, the woman said that the dogs are all rescues and they all need forever homes.
Iliza then noticed a dog at the back that was so scared. Iliza learned that the dog is named Tian Fu and she was rescued from the dog meat trade in China. The lady explained that when Tian Fu was found, she hadn’t had any food or water for days and that she was almost dead.
Iliza was heartbroken after learning about Tian Fu’s story and asked the lady if she could hold little Tian Fu. The moment she held Tian Fu in her arms, Iliza started crying and that’s when she knew that she was ready to adopt again. Iliza knew deep down inside that she needed Tian Fu as much as Tian Fu needed her.
It took a little time for Tian Fu to adjust to her new home and new family. She was even terrified of Iliza’s husband. Tian Fu was nervous and didn’t trust anyone. However, as months went by, Tian Fu started to feel more relaxed and even got close to Iliza’s husband.
Now, Tian Fu only thinks of belly rubs and playtime whenever she sees Iliza’s husband. Iliza knows how rewarding it is to adopt a rescue dog. After Tian Fu adjusted to her new life with Iliza, she always accompanies her mom on trips. Here’s a heartwarming video featuring Tian Fu’s story and how she stole Iliza’s heart.
