Dog Scared to Death of Humans Undergoes Heartwarming Transformation

Everyone wants to be loved and with people who will protect and treat them right. These are basic needs every human being desires and deserves. If those aren’t met, people can and will grow up to experience various problems and issues.

The same is true for animals to a certain extent. A clip posted on YouTube shows how an animal who grew up not interacting with humans or having any contact with them reacted when someone took it in and attempted to care for it. The dog would shy away, take cover behind other dogs, and literally shake because it was so frightened.

“He didn’t want to be handled,” the woman narrating the clip says. “He wouldn’t look at you at all.”

The clip mentions that they had to wait a month before they could even bathe the animal because he was so afraid.

Raoul’s foster parent was willing to take a chance on him and do whatever it took to help this animal. Eventually, that kindness and patience started to pay off as Raoul began to open up, welcoming more interaction with humans.

“Every day was a baby step,” she says about Raoul.

After about 10 days with his foster mom, Raoul began making strides, literally. He would take one, two, and three steps in her direction.

“He just needed to learn that humans weren’t so scary, and after he understood that, he was good,” she said.

The video ends by adding that after Raoul made these significant changes in his attitude toward and view of humans, he found his forever home and was adopted.

Proverbs 12:10: “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”
