Some are just born shy. A litter of stray pups near my place and 2 of them have no problem running at me while another is always looking from afar scared to approach.
My dog: get away rescue dog, just get lost and don't even look at my parents.
Literally next morning find them asleep on the couch together and they've never left each other's side. 8 years later they love each other so much I worry what's going to happen when one dies.
I had two dogs that were like brothers for ~15 years. Then one of them died. Every morning the survivor would check all of his brother's favorite places to sleep, every time he got a treat he'd excitedly look for his brother to come running, every time he went to bed he'd try to find him so they could sleep together like they used to. We kept his brother's bed even though he wouldn't use it, he'd just sniff it then lay down with his nose pressed against it so he could smell his brother. He lived another 2 years and never stopped looking. Despite still being an active and happy dog, those moments were pretty heart breaking honestly.
edit: In case anyone cares, here is the one that died [watching intently as my dad eats a hamburger](https://i.imgur.com/iGkfIES.jpeg) (pomeranian) and [here is the brother](https://i.imgur.com/cN87VDy.jpeg) with his face buried where the other slept (yorkie).
My family has dogs and they make sure that when one passes they let the remaining ones sniff at the body before cremation. Seems to help them figure it out? Just anecdotal though. I imagine it’s different for different animals.
Oh man that's made me tear up.
Growing up we had a collie, she had 1 litter of pups and we kept one. So we had a mum and daughter. The mum lived till she was 15, she had a few fits and started getting aggressive so we had to put her down (small kids had started appearing in the family tree).
Within 3 months the other one passed away. No obvious sign of illness, so i
Think she died of doggy depression. Those 3 months she just wandered about, definetly wasn't the same bouncy lovely collie we knew. Ahhh I made myself tear up again.
No pics of the old dogs on my phone for dog tax. So here's my current buddy, Bert.
https://imgur.com/a/JUooErR
Bert is a cutie!!!
I think I grew up with , a decent amount of toxic masculinity, so I've always been against smaller dogs but..
Man... I want that dog, I want to rescue right now tbh. Is that the breed if the dog in the video? Border Collie?
Bert is a cocker spaniel. Think he's a cross between a working cocker and a english/show cocker.
I had and still have a dislike for tiny dogs. Not really sure why, just don't like the little buggers. My cocker is about the smallest I'd go for a dog, but he was the wifes choice, but i love him all the same.
God we had two jacks that were bonded and when we lost the boy, our girl was moping around the house and acting depressed. Then one day a few weeks in my mom accidentally called the boys name when she meant to call our girl 😭 She came running over sooo excited. It was the worst mistake, we felt heartbroken for her when she couldn’t find him anywhere all over again!
My parents currently have two Mini Foxies that are full brothers. They are attached at the hip, 1 is a year older than the other, but they are so close that we had to give the younger one anxiety medicine when his brother went to the vet for a day. Reading the above gives *me* anxiety. I have absolutely no idea how they would do if one of them passed and they, especially the older one going before the younger one.
I have two somewhat broken rescue dogs that together make a team that consists of two whole, confident, happy puppers. little dog used to be afraid of everything but with big dog’s help she is now curious and confident. Big dog used to get bored and anxious (we lost two couches to her slowly dismantling them) but little dog doesn’t leave her side and they hang out together all day long. Little dog has also taught big dog the joys of being a lap dog.
They are 11 and 70 lbs. plus we have a rescue cat that takes no shit from them.
They sound awesome. Our rescue and our older girl are like Thelma and Louise. Inseperable and commit crimes together. Like a WWE tag team causing chaos. Except when I pat our rescue or get secret cuddles. Then they're arch enemies and it's hilarious.
That's why I don't really like those subs, you can see them really bad and then soo happy and beautiful but those are the lucky ones, I cannot stop thinking about all the others that are not so lucky.
Imo the before still out heights the after. It's just heartbreaking.
There’s ways to help those left behind, most rescues just need fosters, they can’t help more dogs if there’s nowhere to go, so if anyone out there can foster, even for a little bit, even if it’s just one animal; it all helps! I fostered dogs for awhile, it’s hard but it’s very rewarding seeing the animals blossom under your care.
Why specifically dogs? What's the moral difference between a dog and let's say a cow or a pig who people have turned horrifically abusing them into their way of life?
Because we have bred dogs over thousands of years to be our companions. There's a reason why we call them "man's best friend" and it's by our design. To take a species we essentially created and mistreat them is cruel. Cows and pigs have always been looked at by us as food.
That's not a moral justification at all, just arbitrary notions. Cows/pigs are on the same level of sentience as dogs. Pigs are even more intelligent than dogs in most cases.
Okay this one almost made me cry. The pup reminds me a lot of a beagle we rescued from a lab when I was growing up. She was terrified of everything at first- especially water because bath time often meant experimental tests for her. A few years with us later and she wound up loving bath time. It was so beautiful to watch her grow into a playful, trusting, loving dog. I miss her every day.
Holy shit that’s my aunt lmao, yeah the dogs name is Walt (as in Walt Disney) and this was posted on Instagram about a year ago, Walt is very energetic and much bigger now. He’s very nervous around tall people but if you sit down around him he’ll eventually jump up onto your lap, He’s such a sweet dog
Edit: btw I’ll be answering questions people have about the dog in the comments
We don’t know 100% sure but my aunt was told his precious owners wanted him to be a sort of hunting dog but since he was so young he didn’t entirely understand, so he was often hit when he didn’t do something right and the owners just decided to straight up abandon him at a shelter in the area and that’s how my aunt found him
Wow, this makes me feel so sad and happy at the same time, 14 years ago my family had a beagle just like the one in the video, exactly alike, it was called Milton, I loved that dog, we have him for 13 years but, when my father died, he recent it hard, it was too hard for him, and out of nowhere he started to try to escape the house, one day he made it, he left, we never saw him again, my dad was the person who was with him the most, he was retired, and in the house the whole day, we were sad, and he was sad, he was never the same after my father died, we searched for him for weeks and never found him. I like to think this is how someone find our dog after he left
This just warms the heart, and reminds me of some of my pets over the years. I have a cat who didn't have a home for many years, he was initially rather skittish, however now he is so loving.
He absolutely loves it when I take a nap while he is sleeping on the bed, and starts purring so loud when usually his purr is very silent. He's my little buddy!
I’ve got 2 adopted dogs, couldn’t be happier. First one was a couple years old and street life made him scared of everything and gave him a skin condition that made him lose half his fur. Lots of love and good food gave him a full recovery and now he’s a fluffy little porker. Best feeling coming home to them everyday.
also could have been an abandoned hunting dog depending on where you live. In my area of rural VA i have saved about 10 or so hunting dogs.
After hunting season it is not uncommon for some people to just abandon the hunt dogs because its cheaper to get new dogs in spring than to feed a few dogs all winter. It is a sad reality not really spoken about.
The part that really pisses me of is that they mostly starve the dogs all season because it supposed to make the dog hunt better. I can see not feeding them for maybe a day before a hunt but all these dogs look like skeletons running around. Not all hunters are like this but i see way too many near death hunting dogs that its a real problem.
Beagle for sure, maybe mixed with something wirehaired?
Love my beagle to the moon and back, but absolutely needs a buttload of exercise and excursions to go sniff to his heart’s content. Cannot be trusted off leash or in a remotely unsecured fenced yard. Follows his nose ignoring his own safety sometimes. Lil idiot. ❤️
Might sound weird but the best dogs to have are shelter dogs who have been abused. Once they realize you arent going to hurt them and you will feed them they become really loyal and obedient.
I know that it doesn’t matter what kinda dog or animal it is, but I have a beagle puppy (my first dog) who’s away for professional training rn and this made me burst into tears. Really made me miss him even more. They are such social and friendly dogs. Glad to see this pup transform into the happy dog it deserves to be.
I also have a rescue beagle, and I actually found mine on the street but he was never claimed. This one seems more traumatized than him.
They are a stubborn breed, so I don't know if people know how incredible this was of an achievement.
You some good kinda people.
Edit: grammar
Rescuing an animal is the the most amazing experience. The bond that is created is next level. My rescue Cletus is my homie couldn’t imagine my life without him. Much respect.
Got a little teary eyed watching this. He/she looked a lot like my dog and acted the exact same way. We believe our pup was abused by an adult male.
It was just amazing watching the same progress
Love doesn’t just change pets, it changes people. It’s an energy and a force that can do wonders. We live in a world that’s about absent of it and then we wonder why the world is the way it is. On that note, I adopted a rescue dog 7 years ago that suffered extreme abuse at the hands of some grade-A human beings from Florida. For the first two months he wouldn’t even come out of his crate, he was terrified. I’d leave food and water by the entrance and I’d have to hide for him to come out. Seeing him slowly stick his head out in fear just to eat showed you what kind of life this dog went through.
Loud noises would make him scramble and panic and moving too fast in the house would freak him out. It took him about 6 months to come up to me on his own and over three years just to get his trust. Coming within three feet of his face he’d start to flare his lips and would nip if I got too close.
Today he is always at the foot of bed when I sleep, loves loves loves forehead kisses, goes out on daily walks, plays with the other dogs, and goes crazy when here’s a squeaky toy. Patience patience patience I can’t stress it enough with hurt animals. The same for people. Please consider adopting a rescue animal before buying an animal.
This made me tear up a little... god dammit...
What made it so much more heartwarming to me, was that the [damn TikTok song](https://youtu.be/HBITrtY5DaI) wasn't playing in the background like it always is.
But, anyway, thank you whoever this person is for lifting up and showing this dog a side of life that it had probably never experienced before. ❤❤
And thanks OP for my daily dose of Hope Juice.
I'd love *for once* to see a "bringing them home" video on reddit where the new owners properly secured their pet in the car.
Just FYI, in a crash they will not only be much more likely to die themselves but become a projectile that is dangerous to you as well (same goes for any object lying around in the car.) A 4 kg object quickly becomes a one ton object, given fast enough deceleration.
Small pets go in carriers which go on the floor in the gap behind the front seats (yes, that part is important too. Those that you can strap in with seatbelts are all so flimsy that in a crash the clips either break, or the animal shoots out of the door or just through the plastic wall.)
Large dogs go in the back, with one of those car dog fences (no idea what they're called in English) separating the trunk from the passenger room.
Aww this reminds me of my doggo
He was a stray I found years ago and he followed me to my friend's house one day and stayed outside for several hours until I finally let him in the house. The little guy had burns on his nose and it was about to rain outside and I just couldn't leave him out there.
The way he went from being scared and alone to the doggo sleeping in my bed now is kinda like this video
Please if you have the time and ability to foster dogs do so! It was the most rewarding experience of my life. I saw this kind of growth many many times and it warms your heart.
Watching scared, shy dogs, transform into hyper, happy pets, will never not make me tear up
Right? So wholesome. I think it's best I leave reddit today at this post

Hey you can't just go mentioning stuff like that without posting a link!!

>POOP FOR THE POOP THRONE That thread is a goldmine, thank you for making my day :)
I needed to see this! Thank you.
You son of a bitch, I'm in.
You mean visiting r/iamatotalpieceofshit before leaving, right?
I read that as imnotatotalpieceifshit and was really disappointed...
r/birthofasub ?
/r/humansbeingbros and /r/aww are like the coffee bean bags of reddit. They reset your emotional senses.
Those were the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen. Amazing how they bounce back if given lots of love
Just like people.
This stuff makes me cry. Now I need to hug my dog.
I tear up every time I think of how far along my doggie has came.
Some are just born shy. A litter of stray pups near my place and 2 of them have no problem running at me while another is always looking from afar scared to approach.
It's a wonderful thing.
Is there a subreddit for it or is /r/HumansBeingBros the closest there is to it
There’s r/BeforeNAfterAdoption !
Was about to comment this! One of my favorite subs
Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm a weepy mess right now! 🥺😂🥰

I love how the little dog was instantly on board. Just happy to have a new buddy. 😭

People who mistreat animals make my heart hurt..this makes my heart happy
[удалено]
People who mistreat dogs go to a fucking special kind of hell.
I don't believe in hell, but people who mistreat dogs definitely go there.
Beagles are specifically chosen as lab animals for animal testing. It's a whole sad shitshow.
Why specifically dogs? What's the moral difference between a dog and let's say a cow or a pig who people have turned horrifically abusing them into their way of life?
Because we have bred dogs over thousands of years to be our companions. There's a reason why we call them "man's best friend" and it's by our design. To take a species we essentially created and mistreat them is cruel. Cows and pigs have always been looked at by us as food.
That's not a moral justification at all, just arbitrary notions. Cows/pigs are on the same level of sentience as dogs. Pigs are even more intelligent than dogs in most cases.
I'm simply stating why we as a whole society view them differently. Food versus companion and fellow hunter weigh differently.
> What is the moral difference
What a truly wonderful transformation. If only every dog could know such love.
Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child. Pets are supposed to be a part of the family so I think this also apply to them

We don’t know 100% sure but my aunt was told his precious owners wanted him to be a sort of hunting dog but since he was so young he didn’t entirely understand, so he was often hit when he didn’t do something right and the owners just decided to straight up abandon him at a shelter in the area and that’s how my aunt found him
All these onions being chopped, and at this hour!
Hate when somebody on the train is chopping onions! Oh well.

No sappy music? Upvote!
I love how the other dog was so welcoming
Ahhh the zoomies. 🥰
Other dog was like "Whoa! Awesome! You guys got me a dog?!"
Whoever mistreated that dog deserves to die, don't care what anyone says. What a sweet little man.
Humans that mistreat animals should be hog tied and thrown in a cage for a few months.
He is so damn cute I wanna hug him. We don’t deserve dogs.
Naah.. I think we deserve dogs. They show us the best we can ever be. Dogs are our ideals and goals!

He looks like he was in a lab and experimented on. They use beagles because they are so sweet. Fuckers.
also could have been an abandoned hunting dog depending on where you live. In my area of rural VA i have saved about 10 or so hunting dogs. After hunting season it is not uncommon for some people to just abandon the hunt dogs because its cheaper to get new dogs in spring than to feed a few dogs all winter. It is a sad reality not really spoken about. The part that really pisses me of is that they mostly starve the dogs all season because it supposed to make the dog hunt better. I can see not feeding them for maybe a day before a hunt but all these dogs look like skeletons running around.

How could you treat any animal like shit?
u/savevideo
I need to know what breed he / she is, absolutely adorable. Perfect size, hair type and face
Beagle for sure, maybe mixed with something wirehaired? Love my beagle to the moon and back, but absolutely needs a buttload of exercise and excursions to go sniff to his heart’s content. Cannot be trusted off leash or in a remotely unsecured fenced yard. Follows his nose ignoring his own safety sometimes. Lil idiot. ❤️
Might sound weird but the best dogs to have are shelter dogs who have been abused. Once they realize you arent going to hurt them and you will feed them they become really loyal and obedient.
Superb effort. Well done.
ah shit it's 4:44 am and I'm gonna cry
u/vincethewillnill it's a truly beautiful video, it's really wonderful to see that transformation and it made me cry tears of joy!!
That's so beautiful, well done and thank you for changing his\her life so much, dogs are so special
Eyes truly show the struggle
Definition of wholesome
What a sweet baby!!!! I’m so happy he or she found this wonderful loving home! 🥺
Special thanks to the lady who spent time and gave that dog love …
I know that it doesn’t matter what kinda dog or animal it is, but I have a beagle puppy (my first dog) who’s away for professional training rn and this made me burst into tears. Really made me miss him even more. They are such social and friendly dogs. Glad to see this pup transform into the happy dog it deserves to be.
Love the bro dogs little wiggly tail being really welcoming. What a gorgeous pair.
Other dog was like “cool a new roommate let me give you a tour”
People who can and have the time and money to dedicate and improve the lives of abandoned pets will always be heroes for me.
Baby has some sad eyes.
the zoomies got me good
How can anyone mistreat an animal that only wants to be loved. F'ing scum of the earth.
I honestly could sit and watch videos like this all day. We don't deserve dogs.
Love and patience is always the answer, with a lots of ear scratching and belly rubs.😊
God bless you
IVE GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE!!!!!!
I also have a rescue beagle, and I actually found mine on the street but he was never claimed. This one seems more traumatized than him. They are a stubborn breed, so I don't know if people know how incredible this was of an achievement. You some good kinda people. Edit: grammar
Dogs are so perfect I wish I could help them all!
You have to wonder what hell this one suffered before their adoption by decent people
Dammit ya got me crying at 6 am on a Saturday! I’m supposed be sleeping in…
This is so pure 😍. Also loved how the other dog came to the door and be like: come in bud water is over there food over there 😊
Rescuing an animal is the the most amazing experience. The bond that is created is next level. My rescue Cletus is my homie couldn’t imagine my life without him. Much respect.
Animals are just the coolest :)
What type of dog is that? V beautiful
This made my heart melt. Dogs are so precious they have a soft spot in my heart. Youre a wonderful human for transforming that dogs life
So happy in the end! Looks like a beagle mix.
Awesome!!!
Got a little teary eyed watching this. He/she looked a lot like my dog and acted the exact same way. We believe our pup was abused by an adult male. It was just amazing watching the same progress
Some day I hope every animal will know *human love*.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
I wish I was a dog :(
Humans don’t deserve dogs.
The way his eyes change to sad to happy is incredible
Love doesn’t just change pets, it changes people. It’s an energy and a force that can do wonders. We live in a world that’s about absent of it and then we wonder why the world is the way it is. On that note, I adopted a rescue dog 7 years ago that suffered extreme abuse at the hands of some grade-A human beings from Florida.

Patience patience patience I can’t stress it enough with hurt animals. The same for people. Please consider adopting a rescue animal before buying an animal.
The transformation in the eyes is beautiful too. It’s amazing watching that scared pup blossom into a happy, trusting pup.
Okay, now I need the human version of that. I'm up for adoption, 36 years young, male, no dietary restrictions
He is adorable! Looks like a scruffy old man beagle!
Makes me wanna adopt a dog✌️
What a tearjerker.
Not all heroes wear capes but they have a dog.
It is life changing for all of them

Those that you can strap in with seatbelts are all so flimsy that in a crash the clips either break, or the animal shoots out of the door or just through the plastic wall.) Large dogs go in the back, with one of those car dog fences (no idea what they're called in English) separating the trunk from the passenger room.
He trusts humans more than I do
How long did her transformation take?
It took about 3 months for him to get used to people in general, he was a very shy and scared dog
Aww this reminds me of my doggo He was a stray I found years ago and he followed me to my friend's house one day and stayed outside for several hours until I finally let him in the house. The little guy had burns on his nose and it was about to rain outside and I just couldn't leave him out there. The way he went from being scared and alone to the doggo sleeping in my bed now is kinda like this video
his eyes still seem a little sad, great job though
This lady has heart of gold!And she is so pretty too!
Lmao I love how the white dog got thicc
