«Are you sure you won’t raise your hand to me?» The dog saw affection for the first time in his old age

Residents of the dacha village called the animal shelter. They asked volunteers to come as soon as possible, because the dog they were worried about was very weak and people were afraid that he would not live even a few hours.

All the locals were well acquainted with this dog, because it lived all year round in a holiday village and often came to people. People thought that earlier the dog had owners, perhaps he guarded one of the sites, and then he simply ceased to be needed by the people who abandoned him. Perhaps this dog never had its own home. No one knew when this dog appeared and what his past was.

The dog was calm and did not cause trouble to the locals. He was often seen at the junkyard, where he tried to get his own food. The inhabitants of the village simply ignored the dog, no one drove it away or offended it, but no one wanted to take care of it, no one even thought about feeding the dog at least sometimes.

The dog lived in the village for many years and was quite old. Once people saw that the dog was lying and practically did not move. The paw of the animal was turned out, he could not move, and flies were already starting to fly nearby.

Seeing the dog in this state, people assumed that it had already died. When the animal opened its eyes and moved a little, people realized that its life was not yet over.

Nobody wanted to help the dog, but there was one woman who called the shelter.

The volunteers arrived a few hours later, when they approached the dog, it showed its teeth. The dog was too weak to resist, at the same time, he did not trust people, because he never knew anything from them but indifference.

For several days the dog’s condition was extremely difficult, but then the dog began to recover.

He was transferred from the clinic to an orphanage.

At first, the dog avoided both other animals and people. He ate and spent his days alone. Volunteers gave the dog the opportunity to be alone, everyone was convinced that at such a respectable age the dog would never get used to a new way of life.

One evening, Hans, as the dog was called at the shelter, was about to go to bed when one of the volunteers came to the shelter. The girl had not been there for several months, so she had not yet had time to meet a newcomer.

— Who do we have here? Let’s get acquainted, — said the girl and hem to Hans.

The dog could not understand what this girl wanted from him, because he was already used to the fact that volunteers try not to approach him, and even more so, they do not try to pet him.

Hans did not snarl or show his teeth, but looked wary.

The girl stroked the dog, with each touch the dog was more and more imbued with confidence and became more and more affectionate. For an elderly dog, it was a real discovery that people are able not only to cause pain, but also to bring joy.

From that moment on, the dog did not leave the girl a single step and constantly demanded affection. Stroking became more precious to him than food and sleep.

In just a couple of days, the dog found his new home. Care and love melted the heart of the dog, and his story and expression of gratitude for the slightest kindness touched the girl so much that she decided to take him for herself.
