It’s a sad fact that many dogs entering animal shelters are malnourished and underweight. It pains me to see animals struggling to the point where they’re almost too weak to stand.
Some, in spite of their neglect, remain affectionate and trusting towards humans, though others shrink in fear when a rescuer approaches. What the latter have been subjected to sometimes doesn’t bear thinking about.
Personally, I can’t imagine ever wanting to hurt an animal. Furthermore, I simply can’t understand why anyone would take any sort of pleasure in doing so …
That said, I think dogs have a sixth sense when it comes to knowing which people are good and which are not.
Those who work with animals will understand the importance of letting a creature that has been subjected to neglect make the first move. Of course, it’s common to want to pat and play with a dog to show it you mean no harm, but this isn’t always the best way.
Some people just don’t fathom that a dog that has experience of being mistreated might be caught off guard by a complete stranger.
Edie, an abandoned dog of mixed breed, was hours away from being put down. She was terrified of humans and it had been a long, long time since anyone cared for her. Her fur was a mess and she was dangerously malnourished.
It took a true animal lover to give Edie a second chance.
The first part of the video is difficult to watch. Edie is so afraid that she hardly knows what to do with herself. Her whole body shakes as she barks to ward off the man she perceives to be a threat.
Finally, however, the man in the video is able to snare Edie and thus stop her from running away. He can now approach her.
It doesn’t take long after that for a pact of trust to be built. Edie begins to understand that he isn’t there to hurt her, but to help her. You can almost see the moment she realizes that she isn’t going to be put down anymore.
Watch the video below to see Edie’s reaction when she understands that she’s saved:
Let’s take the time to express our gratitude for those who dedicate their lives to helping animals in need.
Without you guys, the world would be a far worse place for our innocent four-legged friends.

A Heartwarming Story Highlighting the Impact of Small Acts of Kindness
Kindness has the power to change lives, even through the smallest of gestures. A touching story from a waitress at a fast-food restaurant demonstrates just how far a single act of goodwill can go.
One day, while working her shift, the waitress noticed that a customer had left behind a Louis Vuitton purse. Believing the owner would return for it, she placed it in the restaurant’s lost and found. However, days turned into weeks, and no one came back to claim it.
After a month, the restaurant manager noticed how much the waitress admired the purse and offered it to her. Curious but hesitant, she opened the bag, only to find it empty—except for one surprising detail. Inside was a handwritten note that read, “To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.” Along with the note was a receipt, revealing the bag’s cost: $1,700—far beyond what the waitress could afford.
It became clear that the bag had been left intentionally, a deliberate act of kindness meant to brighten her day. The waitress began using the purse immediately, and it soon became a source of inspiration and confidence. She carried it to every job interview, feeling empowered by the thoughtful gesture
Today, even though she can afford such items herself, the Louis Vuitton purse remains a cherished reminder of that pivotal moment. It symbolizes the kindness that helped her through a challenging time and spurred her on to better opportunities.
This story beautifully illustrates how even a simple act of generosity can ripple through someone’s life, creating lasting change.
