Terrified Dog Saved from Being Put Down
It’s heartbreaking to see underweight and emaciated dogs end up in animal shelters. Watching these animals suffer to the point where they can barely stand fills me with sadness. Some dogs still show love and trust towards humans despite their mistreatment, while others cower in fear at the sight of a rescuer. It’s difficult to fathom what these dogs have been through.
Personally, I could never fathom causing harm to an animal, let alone find any joy in doing so. In fact, I believe dogs have a sixth sense that allows them to discern between good and bad people. Those who work with animals understand the importance of giving neglected animals the chance to initiate contact. While it’s natural to want to play and pet a dog to reassure them that you mean no harm, it’s not always the best approach.
In just a few hours, a dog named Edie, who had been abandoned and mistreated, was scheduled to be put to sleep. She had been neglected for so long and was terrified of people. She was severely undernourished, and her fur was in disarray. To save Edie, you had to be a true animal lover.
Watching the first part of the video is difficult. Edie is so terrified that she doesn’t know how to react. She perceives the man as a threat and trembles while barking, trying to drive him away. But eventually, the man manages to catch Edie and prevent her from fleeing. Now he can get close to her.
What happens next is truly incredible. Trust is quickly established between Edie and the man. She starts to realize that he is there to help her, not hurt her. You can practically see the moment when she realizes she won’t be put down anymore.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the people who dedicate their lives to serving the needs of animals. Without them, the world would be a much worse place for our helpless four-legged friends. Please share this video so more people can witness Edie’s amazing transformation.
