See this sweet-faced shelter pup's incredible recovery
1 day ago
This video of a shelter dog that regains not only her health but also her spirit transcends its subject. It's about Janie, a sweet-faced pup brought to a shelter so terrified and in so much pain that she'd allow no one near her – and the way her trainer, with painstaking patience, care and kindness, teaches her to trust again. But it's also emblematic of so many of our own journeys: the defenses we put up despite ourselves; the slow, difficult process of allowing someone in; the rush of relief when we realize we can trust; the unspeakably profound rewards of giving someone – be they canine or human – a second chance.
