Unfortunately, animal shelters are often filled with malnourished and weakened dogs. It is painful to see how these animals barely have the strength to stand upright.
Some of them show affection and trust towards humans despite their neglected conditions, while others shrink back in fear when a rescuer approaches them.
The suffering these dogs have endured is sometimes hard to imagine.
Yet they often seem to have a sixth sense to recognise which people they can and cannot trust.
Trust and patience are essential to give hope to neglected creatures.
Edie – An abused dog on the brink of despair
Edie, an abused mongrel dog, finds herself in a hopeless situation.
Just an hour away from being euthanised, she is full of fear and has never really experienced affection.
Her once beautiful coat is now a tangled mess and her body shows the clear signs of malnutrition.
But then an animal-loving person appears and gives Edie a second chance.
The rescuer – A new chance for Edie
A disturbing scene is initially shown in a video: Edie trembles with fear and barks desperately to fend off the man she perceives as a threat.
But the man doesn’t give up and eventually manages to grab Edie and stop her from running away. Now he can approach her gently.
It doesn’t take long for a special bond of trust to form between them.
Edie begins to realise that the man has come to help her, not to hurt her.
In this poignant moment, it becomes clear that he only has her best interests at heart.
It is important to thank all those who dedicate their lives to protecting and rescuing animals.
Without them, the world would be a much darker place for our innocent four-legged friends.
Together we can raise awareness of animal cruelty and create a world where no animal has to suffer in such cruel circumstances.
Each and every one of us can make a contribution.
Watch the moving video below and witness Edie’s reaction when she realises she is being rescued:
