Big happy tears as I watched this video. I have so enjoyed watching Sophie's progress. She is so lucky to have wonderful, kind owners and such an amazing, patient trainer. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
Wow!! Sophie is becoming more and more confident Wonderful to see her seeking affection from you such great progress , I love following your posts on Instagram, My daughter has a Romanian rescue dog, he so gorgeous looks a bit like Sophie , beautiful temperament, gentle and loving I can't wait to see Sophie out and about running after a ball and dipping her toes in the sea
Cried when I saw the shorter version on Twitter. Having followed her from day one, it is simply incredible to see the transformation from a severely traumatized dog into one that is starved for affection and physical touch. THANK YOU
This is amazing, isn't it!? She's like a completely different dog, now so openly seeking pets! And I believe abit of dancing towards the end. Lovely to see her so comfortable 🤩🤩🤩
This is so heartwarming to see. It's a massive leap forward in her progress. She seems to be keen to interact and to enjoy the cuddles. Absolutely wonderful 🎉
I adored this video, it's so uplifting. She is loving the petting, she is asking for petting, she wants to play but still doesn't know how to play with a human. And although the ball gets her attention, she likes you better than the ball. She must feel such a warm new feeling to know there are people that love her and treat her well. Thanks for sharing 🥰🐕🦺
Absolutely beautiful to see Sophie like that! She's been getting so much braver recently and she's like a different dog!! 🥰 She's got a spring in her step and her personality is shining through. The way she keeps asking for strokes and a belly rub is just so heart warming!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such a sweet dog and decent kind people. Wouldn't introducing her to a gentle dog that she could play with in the garden help her burn off anxiety and decompress? Wasn't she around other dogs in Romania?
It's wonderful to see her wanting to play, offering her paw and so much more relaxed. She's come on so much recently! It really is a joy seeing her personality develop. Rory & the Prof (sorry, Dame) must be delighted. Congratulations to all 4 of you! 🙂
AMAZING WORK! She's been so nervous and Rory and Diane have been so patient and I've seen them struggle sometimes as all they want to do is show her love and care but don't want her to regress.
That's so wonderful to see, in this world of doom and gloom. Made me cry happy tears!. And wow when she was having her tummy tickled! Love the way she kept pawing you to play! At end just resting her head on your legs. Love it, she has progressed so much of the past couple of weeks
I've been waiting all day for this! You're incredible! Amazing job with Sophie! Belly up and all! Wow 😳 I just can't get over the joy I feel for her! ❤️🐾 I have your notifications on. Amazing work!
Wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time. Her crave for attention and cuddles is adorable. But she has no idea what playing is and how to do it. She tries, bless her, but has no idea what to do. This really the most relaxed I have ever seen her and it so wonderful to see! Never mind the tail. It'll come at some point :)
Sophie the dancing dog she now is! Amazing progress - you have reaped the rewards of the hard work and infinite patience that the Prof and Rory have invested in her. Well done to you all it’s been worth the wait. 👍👏
Ahhhhhh pure delight and love 🙏💜 guess you'll have to move in now!! 😅 Well done 👏👏👏, i know too well traumatised dogs need to be allowed to come around in their own time...
Absolutely amazing 🎉🎉🎉 I cried watching the shorter version so no guessing I cried at this one too!! Way to go Sophie. Mum and Dad will be so very pleased ❤
Sat watching this with a massive smile on my face. She loves and trusts you so much. I feel you may have to move in with Rory and the Prof 🤣🤣 The paw and the head movement telling you to stroke her again is adorable. Fantastic work.
All the stress and sadness happening in the world today is wiped away watching Sophie heal from what ever hurts she's been through. Regaining trust of humans from those around her that only want to love her and give her a happy life, to make up for whatever has gone before ... inspirational and heartwarming. Thank you to all of Sophie's humans for not just giving her a second life but for giving us who have been following her from day one on twitter, sharing in the triumphs and hardships of helping over come her past, her journey through her new life. Sophie and all of you are the silver linings in life and give hope that there are others out in the world that have big hearts and care.
I love seeing her say more, more, more! 😍 Inside that scared little girl is a dog that loves affection and play. I love to see it coming out more and more. How exciting. Wonderful job!
Fabulous to see Sophie reacting so positively to so many stimuli. Fantastic progress. I hope she carries on feeling that confident with both Diane and Rory when they return from their holiday.
This is so wonderful to watch. What incredible progress to have made with such a nervous dog who now seems to be actively seeking the interaction and affection. All three of you have made such a fantastic change to her life it is almost unbelievable. All those patient hours spent must be so rewarding now. Next stage of the adventure - ‘rest of the house’.
Having kept up to date on Sophie, it's fantastic to see her interacting with you, she is such a beautiful dog. Her confidence is growing, it's heartwarming to see her being so animated 👍
This is wonderful, I've been so worried for her, she was making so little progress and now I think she's finally realised it's gonna be alright, fantastic, well done! Come on Sophie!🐕💜
Lovely to see her relaxing at last, after all your hard work & patience! What do her sideways head-jerks mean, please? And does her constant pawing of you just mean she wants more petting & tummy rubs? Hope she's soon like this with Rory!
Keep up the amazing good work, doesnt this show that human kindness can start to restore trauma, look forward to seeing her continued recovery, huge well done
The real Sophie is slowly coming out and it melts my heart. The smallest steps are also the biggest ones. Life is getting better and better Sophie 🐾❤️❤️❤️🐾
Absolutely amazing, she's been waiting so long to let someone rub her belly! You can never leave now!
Big happy tears as I watched this video. I have so enjoyed watching Sophie's progress. She is so lucky to have wonderful, kind owners and such an amazing, patient trainer. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰

Makes my heart sing ♥️

Absolute masterclass in dog behaviour and patience. So happy for Rory and the Prof.
Her playful movement and relaxed curiosity are mind-boggling to watch. You are the dog whisperer!

I'll bet her mummy & daddy were in tears seeing her here, like the rest of us 🥰

Sophie is just wonderful.
All she wants is love and affection! Such a heartwarming video! Thank you for helping Sophie to enjoy her life 😊

Beautiful to see - she's so 'engaged', and her sheer joyfulness is wonderful.
So adorable bless her 👍❤️

Sophie's saying no to that ball. You're much more fun to play with 😄
So special. Your patience is slowly being rewarded x
At last! Sophie has managed to release her inner puppy. 🤞🏻she will remember how wonderful life can be now when mum & dad return.
Play and cuddles are amazing but seeing her head rested on your knee was wonderful.

Pure JOY to see this.
I adore Sophie and have been following her progress since day one, you are all so special and seeing her blossoming brings tears to my eyes ❤xx
She is like a Martian who landed and is trying all the time to figure out and communicate with the (scary looking) locals.
Just fabulous! Heart doing backflips to see her discovering…and it’s only just begun!
Amazing. Bless her little heart. Such massive progress and signs that Sophie is going to be such a loving dog.
This is wonderful, I've been so worried for her, she was making so little progress and now I think she's finally realised it's gonna be alright, fantastic, well done! Come on Sophie!🐕💜

Lovely to see her relaxing at last, after all your hard work & patience! What do her sideways head-jerks mean, please? And does her constant pawing of you just mean she wants more petting & tummy rubs? Hope she's soon like this with Rory!
The head rolls are part of her play style and, yes, she's pawing for attention and as play.
How wonderful to see her come out of her shell.
So wonderful! God bless Sophie and all of her friends
This is so heart-warming! Sophie is well on the way to recovery with all the love and guidance she's receiving. It's wonderful to watch her progress.
