A Dog Scared to Death of Everyone Just Needed a Hug - The Most Beautiful Video

39. Thanks

She did the hard work; we just encouraged and supported her on her journey. Truth told, I'm a little in awe of her; her resolve to live, her tender heart, the sweet confidence she has now. There was a huge turn one day in particular. We'd told her how smart, pretty, worthy, and good she was and she almost believed us. Then one day my partner took her with me to the dog-friendly tobacco store. One of the owners had her daughters with her at work that day. They were like 6 and 9. They cooed over her, petted her softly, and Callalily allowed them to lead her around the shop. On the trip home, she was very quiet and contemplative, like it blew her away that someone else thought she was smart, pretty, worthy, and good. She came a hundred miles on her journey with that experience. After that, she LOVES getting pets and attention -- very un-kuvasz-like (but we love it!).

She became the Barbie Doll of Dogs that day.
