When Lotus was first brought to her new home, she wasn’t scared. Instead, he seems to be looking for something to rest his head on. For the first two months, he did not leave the house because of his injuries. During this time, he developed a strong bond with his new mom, Kristen.
As he began to recover, he was finally able to venture outside and explore his new surroundings. One of the most interesting things about Lotus is that she is lying in the middle of the sidewalk, waiting for someone to come and take care of her. He clearly craves love and attention.
The first time Kristen saw Lotus truly excited and mobile was when she discovered her love for a pink toy piggy. He proudly brings his toy piggy bank to his mouth, wagging his tail and showing off his newfound happiness. The toy is very special to him. They are like soulmates!

To celebrate his love of the toy piggy, his mother set up a surprise in the hallway: an array of toy piggys of different sizes for him to choose from. Seeing so many toys makes him seem overwhelmed at first, but he’s clearly in his element. Now, he has enough inspirational toys to last him a lifetime.
