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, Edie, an abandoned and mistreated dog, faced euthanasia. Neglected and terrified of people, she was severely undernourished with matted fur. Saving Edie required a true animal lover.
Watching the initial part of the video is heart-wrenching. Edie’s fear is palpable as she struggles to trust, perceiving the rescuer as a threat. She trembles and barks, desperately trying to escape. Yet, through patience and care, the rescuer finally gains her trust, allowing a close connection to form.
