When you’ve been burned so many times, you shy away from anything and everything that caused you pain. The dog in this story did exactly that.
This female Golden Retriever lived in the streets as a stray, so it’s no wonder she didn’t trust any human near her. After all, she was with a pack of wild dogs, so she preferred living that way.
On the day she was rescued from the streets, this dog named Sassy trembled in fear. Humans have hurt her so many times that she steered clear of them.
Sassy knew how cruel some humans could be, so in the animal shelter, she stayed as small as she could and didn’t venture close to her rescuers.
This dog must have sensed that her rescuers were a different kind of people. They were kind, they always gave her food, and they spoke to her in hushed tones.
New life
Those little things sort of told Sassy that these humans were different from those she encountered as a stray. Little by little, she learned to trust them.
Soon, this dog was no longer scared for her life. She responded to being leashed well, and she began to play with other dogs in the shelter.
Loving humans
Our Sassy now loves receiving pets, hugs, and kisses from people. She finally understood that humans are not all bad people.
Some of them even give her the best body massage, so she’s not saying no to that. Other than overcoming her fear, Sassy also discovered that life could be good.
Now, Sassy doesn’t react negatively to dog leashes anymore. She understands they’re there to protect her and keep her close to her humans.
We’re just overjoyed this dog found a new life after her stint as a stray. We look forward to the day no stray will be seen on our streets ever again!
