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

[Tsiyu]

83. Welcome to the DU

Are you the rescuer or is that just a caption for the vid?

Either way, Thank You!

On Edit: I see downthread that you rescued the pup. Thank you for all you do.

When our local rescue org. took out an ad begging for homes for dogs, my son and I decided it was time for a new dog. We picked out two brothers. They played so well together we didn't want to separate them after all they'd been through. But a couple of little kids fell in love with one of the brothers before we got there to pick them both up.

So we brought our one boy home - he was severely abused and neglected but still was a friendly five-month old. He was so SAD the first night, like in depression over losing his brother (and his manhood the day before Good but sad for him!) ). He had pretty severe breathing issues as well.

The next day he was still depressed until I turned on the radio to Prairie Home Companion. Some fiddles and banjos started on the show and he got up and started actually running around like a pup is supposed to.

Today he is a big boy going on two - maybe Giant Schnauzer/lab mix - but trim and he can run like crazy. His breathing issues have resolved. He's such a sweetie that he grooms the cats. I feel so fortunate to have him.

Rescue dogs are awesome.
