Dog's Gratitude After Being Rescued Will Move You To Tears

Aug 14, 2018

When it comes to dogs, there's always that question of who really "owns" whom. Dogs are just such friendly creatures. They enrich our lives in innumerable ways.

A woman discovered those truths when she decided to adopt a rescue. The dogs were suffering from horrific circumstances. They had been chained up without any room to move. The outside temperature was climbing and the dogs were without food and water. She felt compelled to do something.

One of the dogs was sitting on the front seat of her car as she drove away. She knew she was saving him from a grim fate. What she didn't expect was how grateful her dog would be.

The woman captured his priceless reaction on her phone. As she delicately scratches under his chin, her dog can't help but reach back. He's hesitant at first but quickly feels at home. Her new dog drapes his paw over her arm as if in a mini-hug. He's soon wagging his tail.

She's utterly moved to tears by the gesture. It's such a clear symbol of the good she was able to do. Her dog doesn't have to suffer anymore. He recognizes it by demonstrating that unconditional love that dogs are known for.

Her video is just another reminder of how important animal rescue is. When we save dogs, they're actually saving us.
