That look in his eyes when he put his head in the guys hand. It's like that's all he ever wanted.
My GOD this made me tear up
Brought tears to my eyes.
I cried 😭
Legit tearing up. Could be the booze. Idk. Caught me in the feels just now.
@@aaas1t Omg. Me too
You can just see the moment he realizes everything is going to be ok.

A touch of love...
And this goes both ways- my dog always knew when i was in dark place, either sad and melancholic, or violent.
He did same thing, just his way- he`d press his head against my knee and look at me, with those dark, all- knowing eyes... It is hard to be hating world and yourself, when there is a creature in front of you, showing you enough affection to last a lifetime
Jerrod Blackwood makes me cry 😢
That's the moment my eyes started sweating
@@heretyk_1337 sometimes doing something different, makes all the difference
You can tell he's so tired, the way he eventually leans into his hand to rest is heartbreaking
I was thinking the exact thing, you could see it in his eyes so sad.
Hi Matthew Richard I am Matthew Richardson and I fully back this comment
Fearful aggression is an exhausting mental state. What a poor little doggie. I'm glad he's found help.
I could also see the exhaustion in his barking. That poor boy has spent all his life defending himself, he sounded like he'd given up :c
@@matthewrichardson996 I thought you were the same person until I looked closer
It makes me tear up, how he instantly transitions from ‘don’t hurt me’ to ‘please love me’
He was good all along.
You too, huh !
Yea he was just scared
Yeah, it’s sweet but I wish he never had to go through that.
tears. We don't deserve animals
Human: *pets puppy*
Doggo: what is this?
Human: affection.
Doggo: disgusting.....do it again.
Yes
if we were on reddit i would give you a gold award, friend
Love this
Genuinely funny comment
@@eduardodossantos1780 So you are the notorious *kind stranger*
Even when he was biting at first you could see that he wasn’t actually biting down hard. I don’t think he was ever actually aggressive; just terrified. So pleased he’s now happy
You’re so beautiful I just had to say it
@@senddeee1451 bro get out of here with that shit you simp lmao
@@senddeee1451 SIMMMMMMPPPPPPP
Yeah, definitely.. he just didn't want to be hurt.
@@senddeee1451 please ignore the idiots.
Poor guy looked so tired of having his guard up, he looked so relieved when he realized there wasn’t any danger. Thanks for helping this animal. He deserves love.
This man is a saint. The world needs more people like him.❤️❤️
@9 Lives And Countingvery true
One day our pup got out and came home half beaten to death, his tail broken and his ear broken and he screamed when you touched his paws. He had to be muzzled at vets...
But he was an innocent precious baby who lived long. 17 years. We had to euthanize him because of tumors in his brain and stomach on April 2nd, 2017. His cries of pain are etched into my mind forever.
;.; I miss him so much.
Robin Grimahood I am sorry to hear that friend, my condolences. May he rest in peace.
As a wolf I hate seeing my decents like this
When Taki tells you “we’re going to be friends,” you can take that to the bank. Amazing stuff.

A lifetime of torture and half a day of love is all it took to earn his trust again. We don't deserve dogs.
😭
It amazes me every time, dogs have a truly good heart :(
Good humans deserve dogs.
I think human beings could learn from animals a life of misery and to turn it all around in one day just incredible and yes I think I'm right.......
If people could be more like dogs. 😊
The poor boy was terrified. He must have been treated very badly. Thank you for saving him and teaching him how to trust people again. 🥰

PONYBOYonline LMAO
What hurts me the most is that the dog isn’t even trying to attack anyone, he’s just scared
@Hauger that's fucking gross, dude. You ought to be ashamed
@Hauger Dogs aren't human. They don't understand things the same way you do. It probably had a lot of different reasons for wanting to bite, and based on the fact that you gave up after two weeks, you probably had no idea what the hell you were doing. Even worse, you left it alone to die instead of just taking it back to the shelter. That is fucking reprehensible.
@Hauger your a real piece of shit maybe your parents should left you in the woods when you fucked up you piece of shit
@Hauger they're probably judging the fact that you left a sentient animal that was in your care to die alone in the woods, nobody gives a shit about your carwash or whatever you degenerate
@Hauger you are and idiot
People who abuse animals and children should be locked up without the key and left there to rot
Agreed 100%
That One meme guy I agree
@Shamrock DaChampion that against the law idiot
How 'bout you skin his balls then tapped them
Some "people" don't deserve life honestly. Subject them to a tiny cell, hourly beatings for months on end and then when they cower and scream at the prospect of human contact... give them a bullet.
It's amazing how forgiving dogs are. All he needed was some love and everything changes in matter of minutes. No human would do that.
Depends on what type of person to don’t down play your Race💀
@@sealteampepega8403 I'm saying that humans can't turn around and be happy and forgiving in a few minutes after months or years of abuse not that humans can't forgive.
@stellarrat Maybe because humans have more complex psychological processes than dogs? Is a dog, the only thing he can do is like you or not like you. You can translate that into "love" or likability, but there's no complex exchange of thoughts, ideas, language, subject/object constructions, etc. Not to mention, dogs are domesticated and programmed/predisposed to be amicable toward humans. So, is not fair for the dog or the human to make such comparisons. No idea why some of you people like to compare human (higher psychological processes) behavior with non-hominin. Even primates and dolphins are closer to us in that regard, but you always like to compare us to dogs, cats, and parrots. 🙄
they will actually easily move on to a better life, and never look back
@@sealteampepega8403 If you feel personally attacked by this, since it obviously didn't state that humans are awful but rather simply not as quick to forgive, you're in some aggressive denial my dude. People are much worse than the average perception of one another. Most kindness is performative without the person even realizing. Just think about it and you'll realize how most good behavior is reinforced is through shame, fear or guilt.
Proof that there is no such thing as bad dogs, just bad owners.
To be fair, thats the same with people too, any animal for that matter
Somecraces are more aggressive. I hope your not excusing some pitbull trash.
They are ugly, aggressive and way stronger than the humans who hold them.
@@rogerklotz7737 ok look, I get that some dogs are naturally more inclined to aggressive behavior.
But calling an entire breed of dog trash because they attract a specific kind of person that don't treat animals right is a bit much.
@@rogerklotz7737 My dad had a Pitbull, she was the sweetest dog I'd ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Not all Pitbulls are "trash" as you put it. To discount an entire breed as such is extremely ignorant.
Jordan L. Look at people who owns those dogs.
Mostly these people don’t have the responsibility/knowledge to hold those dogs.
Just think they are cool/strong or scare people.
Rules should be more strict.
Bet you can also tame a T Rex after 30 generations of work. Doesn’t make it a viable pet.
It’s still an animal. Just get a golden retriever, he does the same.
“Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.”
- Schopenhauer
Never a truer word said.
Mr EyeMan
100% agree! Pure evil in mind and soul.
Absolutely true.
Recognizing the reality behind these words is why WA state's animal cruelty laws include provisions for mandatory psychiatric treatment along with fines, imprisonment, and other consequences for animal abusers. It's not necessarily meant to protect animals but the human population which has to live with a potentially very dangerous person. Those who hurt animals will eventually hurt other people, too.
@@nessunodorme3888 i support those laws, 100% and am thankful they exsist!
People that mistreat animals have no place on this earth.
electronicsNmore maybe they can taught to treat them with the respect they deserve
There is a special place in hell for them. People like this iwner should be put in jail for a long time
It.s hard to imagine what this dog went through to exhibit such abnormal aggression.so sad and sick
What about people who eat them?
@@snehaagarwal4791 Different, that's out of necessity and need, not out of malice and cruelty.
Do you eat chicken?
He literally leans into your hand when you pet him 🥺 you can tell that all his life he's been wanting affection ❤
The look on his face when he first accepted the petting had me in tears. God bless you for your work and time with him.
Awe I know. Me too. You could see the instant relief and love in his eyes
Same here, that poor pup is finally safe
Yeah same it was so heartwarming I’m glad there are good people who are dedicated to this
Ik he instantly turned back into a puppy.
B H all you need is some love brother❤️
I legit started to cry when the dog put his head in the guys hand and just..relaxed. Probably for the first time in his life. It was like 'Oh so this is what love is...they aren't going to hurt me...'.
Same.... Like it is the first time he is finnaly in good hands. I felt this so hard, poor sweet boy 😭
I did as well
Jenny N I cried once I heard him bark again after the guy rubbed him I heard the emotion and pain 🤦🏽♂️🥺🤦🏽♂️
I have a dog that was sort of this way when we first got him. He was also pacing and panting and looking for a means of escape. But we calmly worked with him and got him to trust us and realize we loved him. Thanks for helping save this loving dog from being put down for being aggressive ♥️
Same.😥
"we will try later again and we will be very good friends soon yeah?" was so wholesome.
The what I assume is an Italian accent added to the wholesomeness.
@@gantzllat Greek
@@gantzllat Nice try but he's Greek. His name should give it away, lol.
Yep his accent was the cream on the cake. I believe it soothes him.
@@gantzllat amazing right before I read your comment you had said what I said way before me with the accent they put the cream on the cake I don't know what accident was but it was very soothing
I come back and watch this all the time. What gets me the most is this guy's positivity in the face of some truly awful stuff. I don't think there's a better person for this kind of work
Same same. :)

Most underrated comment evar! Lol
The poor baby! The look in his eyes when he realized he wasn't being hurt and put his head in the hand broke my heart. 💜
Amen Paula! I feel God should have made me a billionaire so that I can help all dogs and cats and all animals and human beings that are abandoned, mistreated, abused, homeless including human beings. Dogs and cats in shelters that don't have enough room they put them to sleep! But I still do as much as I can! You can donate to the Humane Society, ASPC, donate your time if you can. To me everytime I can donate or help somebody I feel so much satisfaction or help a poor animal I would do it in a heartbeat! God protect all of God's creatures they all deserve a good happy life! ❤️ Frank.🐕🐅🐅
@@franciscoechevarria174 I've always wanted to be able to own a farm where I could help give the unwanted animals from shelters and children from foster/orphanages a chance at real love and life. I've always brought in strays whether they be animal or human. I try to make it to the shelter a couple times a month to volunteer. It does feel good to help out and play with the animals and show them love.
❤😍❤😍
Yep. I bawled like a baby, too
Did they owners Die , burnt to death, drowned, Killed? Please tell someone the owners entire family.

the dog is not aggressive, he is just totally scared
Well he for sure is agressive. Go grab him with your bare hands and type what you just typed again.
I'm sure he is aggressive he killed cats
@@iluvcliffrichard and cats killed mouse. And cats now aggressive?
@@buggib.3007
Sure, when cats kill mice they are being agressive.
Doesn't mean they are always agressive.
This dog was scared, which made him agressive.
Agressivity is a state animals go in and out of, not some defining trait
@@buggib.3007
I'm sure friends of the mouse the cat killed think the cat is aggressive.
But dogs environment played a part in his aggression for sure
as soon as the dog softened his facial expression while he was being pet i burst into tears
Same here. I'm still crying. That was just wonderful.
Skylar Hunter I’m heartbroken for all abused and unloved animals. Seeing this transformation is such a balm. Blessings to the loving people who showed Phoenix love.
Literally me too I still have tears on my damn face😂
This is where men come to cry 😭
Skylar Hunter....... Word
Makes me sick thinking that people can treat animals so badly.
I know right people who hurt animals should be locked away 😠
@Max Winkler ? I don’t get it? Like are you talking about people who kill the animals so people can eat meat? Cause they kill them with a quick death but it’s still so inhumane :/
Peachy Dreams not really inhuman to give a quick painless death to eat were as other animals may track down their dying victim and yee?s
@Anti Matter ya I know I just think it’s a very rude thing to do 🤷♀️ :/
@David V do you have sources for your claim?
He was growling and snapping and so so scared. And then the hand touched him and he was like "Wait a minute... this doesn't hurt? This doesn't hurt! I like this. More please."
Yes I got that too 👍 We love dogs, cats and other animals we don't slaughter in Europe for meat! The gruesome slaughter of dogs still happens in Asia and Africa which makes me sick to my stomach!
I so wished it would stop😢😢😢
I cried when he leaned on his gloves finally. He's face saying "this was all i wanted"
Me too
Me tooo thats the best feeling to win the heart of a dog!
It gets me seeing the way a dogs loves even after abuse😣
✌😥👍
Dogs dont need to be won over they come into the world full of love and some people have no love in their hearts and turn them into monsters. Those people need to be rounded up and shot on site.
The cigarette burns on his nose. Overwhelmingly heartbreaking.
Whoever the owners were they need to be incredibly punished even maybe executed or put away for the rest of their days, that poor doggo I feel so bad...
Blaze executed for abusing a dog? I love dogs but that’s way too far
chris sass #whitepeople . Yet george zimmerman is free.
Bro is that what that was? I thought it was just a rash or sore!
@ZACHARY VAUGHN What kind of thanos supporting mindset is this
When the dog pressed his head into Taki's hand I lost it, that poor baby just needed love, I'm so glad he's so happy now
Kaia Cox-Becker That moment was one that turned Phoenix’s entire life around. I’m just happy that he could have a second chance.
@Kaia Cox-Becker - Yeah, me, too. Beautiful to see the dog get love like that. Healing for Phoenix and a blessing to watch.
Kaia...I donkt know what you are talking about. Since I discovered Takis my allergies hav been acting up.
Sorry but I wouldn't trust that dog around they family.
Me too!!!
I can not express how much it hurts me to see such a sad dog who has only learned pain and is just trying to protect himself.
Same,,,it cripples my heart
What's sad is this works the same way with people, brought up with pain and abuse, no values instilled in them. The results? Anger, hate, drug abuse, lash out at everyone.
@@JamesP44 Could not agree more. Women used to lay down their lives for their children, now women lay down their children's lives for their own.
@@marysisak2359
Modern culture is the problem. Hollywood brainwashes people to believe that the only way to lead a good life is to be glamorous and have it all and image is everything. Encourages selfishness and discourages moral values. It's everywhere.
Like music back in the 80s it was a series of endless love songs and songs with good social messages, now we have dumbed down rubbish non music about materialism, sex, drugs. Women on these videos who willingly degrade themselves and call themselves bitches with no shame. Its become cool to regard themselves as bitches and they somehow think it makes them look good and think they're impressing people but they've made a total embarrassment of themselves. Doesn't impress me at all, doesn't make me laugh or anything worthy of respect, I just shake my head for them.
Nothing makes a grown man cry more than seeing an animal get the treatment it deserves !
Agreed
That's what should be thought about when consuming animal products.
Amen!

That moment when he just gave in and he leaned into his hand....that look in his eyes. Man. Heartbreaking and heart melting feeling wrapped into one emotion. It's hard to even put into words. Makes you realize what kind of an impact a kind hand can have in life.
Makes you wonder what kind of hell such a gentle creature went through to become so hostile in the first place

Yep they dont judge they take you as you are as long as you show them love and affection
JAY OH even if you don’t. I’ve seen mildly abused dogs show incredible loyalty. They are truly a gift from God. We would still be living in caves having poop fights if it weren’t for dogs.
Thank God for these good people.They are forever blessed.
The moment when he finally understands that he's out of any harm and danger and when he lays his head on the man's hand...I almost started crying.
This is so heartbreaking to see how animals raised in terror and violence can't believe anyone, but still have hope. All they need is love. Just like us, humans.
Blessings upon that man, he did a very good job with that poor dog.
Aw
Oh I know what you mean. I felt my heart just swell up & my eyes burn the moment the dog just let his head rest in his hand. You could see just how much pain the poor dog had been through. His eyes said it all. Glad he’s getting some love now.
Makes me want to get a good boy again ❤
I was too angry to cry. I would probably cry tears of joy to see the disgusting animal abuser be killed
The capacity for dogs to forgive and trust is inspiring.

@@blaaaaaaaa2017 brother, that is the same conclusion I have also arrived at.
@@blaaaaaaaa2017 . There will always be good, we just wouldn't know bad.
We used to have a rescued (my aunt worked with an animal rescue outfit called "Homeward Bound") boxer-lab mix that we believed had been either abused or neglected, specifically by a man, since she was initially very skittish around me and my dad (but never aggressive, she wouldn't resist if we just wanted to pet her or something like that) but she warmed right up to my mom. She was one of 15 dogs who were going to be put to sleep because the shelter simply didn't have room for them, but my aunt's rescue outfit was able to save them. She turned out to be one of the sweetest, most intelligent, and most sensitive dogs I've ever had the pleasure to know. Even two years after she's been gone, I still miss her.
his abuser deserve pain 😡
There's no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners.
There is more aggressive dogs than other by their nature tho.
Petar Petrov Sure, there are dogs that are more prone to be violent when raised that way but isn’t that the same with human beings?
@@petarpetrov5548 That isn't breed tho, I could be more aggressive that you. A Pitbull has the potential to cause more damage than most dogs, that doesn't mean their nature is more aggressive. This is exactly the problem with people's understanding of the K9 kingdom.
The most loving gentle dog Ive seen is an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Absolutely loving and feirce defenders of the peace...
@@Psilocybiant Exactly , some breeds cause more damage than others and are specifically bred to do so , e.g. pitbull.

This guy SHOULD have used yummy treats and sat next to the dog, EARN the dogs trust, bt this IDIOT puts on a glove and puts his hand at the dogs face, all that does is torment the animal, if he gave the dog small amounts of yummy treats and sat next near the dog, over time as the dog takes food from his hand, he than tries to pet the dog on its chest or side of the head, if the dog not ready tr again later, the food and patients method works better and is FASTER, the ending of the video the dog may have understood this human is ok, bt he STILL should have used the food method
@@random4969 well that (idiot) got the job done and may have save the dog life , so instead of talking shit about someone else, why dont you put your own video doing something useful.

So joyous. We have 28 dogs in southern Spain. All were abandoned, some very sick, some aggressive. We are not experts but with love and kindness we give every dog hope. Then, when we find a loving family we send them off, we miss them but we know we have done a good thing.
Bless you for what you do ❤❤❤
Even when he was “biting” he wasn’t showing actual aggression. He was nipping, not biting. Good doggie!
Cesar yeah he wasn’t even serious about biting - like a feeble attempt to scare him off
There's many levels of a physical aggression from a dog. From a nozzle punch to gnawing into the hand with full force and anything in between. Same thing with barking: a fast and agitated bark signals being scared while growling and barking sporadically - hostility.
Mike Bohuslav Seligman oh I wasn’t meaning to imply he wasn’t aggressive. I definitely see he was. What I meant he could have gone into full attack of the gloved hand, but definitely didn’t. I Believe he either was too good hearted for that or might have faced extreme repercussions for it with his previous owner if he ever did that
dinavienna yea I get what you mean , your right . He was a really beautiful soul but all dogs are ♥️🐾🙏
@@dinavienna I wouldn't call it aggression, rather just biting from fear but of course, that can couse some damage, too.
A dogs ability to forgive is one of its most admirable traits.
This video isnt about forgiveness.
Its about abuse and love.
Definitely. Their ability to forgive is a gift.
there's no forgiveness in animals, stop fucking treating them like humans. They're not. This dog only knew violence and therefore showed aggressive behaviour. Once he was shown care, affection but more importantly no sign of threat nor danger, his instincts (that previously kept him on guard at all times) told him he was safe and so he quickly changed behaviour.
Treating animals, dogs, like humans is a disservice to them, it doesnt do them any good, you'll never understand how a dog thinks and acts if you stupidly think you're dealing with a human being.
They
are
not
human
@@JohnDoe-dj3lw Are you always this easily triggered and angry? Sounds like you were treated just as bad as the dog and need love and affection too.

At 3:02 am
It's amazing what you have done for Phoenix! You turned a scared, neglected and confused dog into a happy, healthy and free dog. Thank you helping all those precious animals! You're amazing, Takis! ❤
But it still sucks that that he had to live part of his life that way. It's heartbreaking! I have zero tolerance for that shit! Im 34 and have been arrested 3 different times for simple assault to people i watched with my own eyes first hand them being cruel and hateful to an animal.
Now if we could learn to do this to the human race first, we would all be at peace with one another
All animals are sentient. Please don't eat any of them.
There needs to be an animal cruelty law that when you abuse an animal you are subjecting yourself to the same type of abuse when incarcerated. I saw a puppy that was rescued and his eyes were halfway out of his head. It makes you wonder. If these suck people are able to do such horrible things to beautiful animals, they’re not far from doing such harm
To animals. Idk, I feel like this is a one strike you’re out for good type of thing. No amount of rehabilitation can bring back someone who kills living things for pleasure. Fuck
JOB WELL DONE

Das sind keine Menschen, das sind Bestien. Ein Tier so zu behandeln, das es aus Panik um sich beisst...diese Person darf ich nie treffen! Das hat nichts mit aggressiv zu tun, sondern ist pure Angst 😢 und man sieht, was Liebe bewirken kann ❤ bitte schaut nicht weg, wenn ein Tier in Not ist 🍀❤
I saw it in his eyes when he finally understood. Anyone who doesn't know or believe animals have emotions should see this.
Anyone who believes animals don't have feelings usually turn out to be sociopaths in my experience.
Well said, i wish people won't stop abusing animals.
This dog has a lot more humanity in him than the previous owner will ever have
Yes!! This. I hope their guilt eats them alive.
True!!
Dogs are better than people in general
Absolutely!
@@LaraInTheFrame
Screw that, I'd love to show them my hands in anger. I know it anit Christian of me..... But I'd be ok burning in hell for kicking the living daylights out of this poor creatures former owner.
I nominate Takis for a Nobel Peace Prize.
I'll second that
Me too
couldn't agree more!
Not good enough - Sainthood would be more appropriate.
I'll eighth that.
Dogs are pure Love. No matter how horribly they might have been treated all they want is to be Loved.
The dog is more human than his previous owner... Able to forgive man for a lifetime of neglect in less than 24 hours. Amazing rescue 😊
exactly, this dog really amazed me, hope that abusive owner gets what he deserves in hell when he's dead
Let's just focus on the fact that the doggo is in great hands now :) couldn't imagine a life without my dogs, they are family not just some item to be forgotten.
Well said my friend. Dogs are more loyal and better souls than humans
Just amazing. Bring you to tears for that poor fella. People can be insanely evil to animals. Glad that dog was rescued
@@JohnDoe-dq3hi The owner was cruel because he, too, had been abused. Dogs have FAR more emotional intelligence than people, perhaps because no one can lie to the NOSE! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION.
Be aware, thus dog will need more therapy for his PTSD. HE will still be likely to be reactive to triggers -- someone whose scent or behavior frightens him.
My rescue turned service dog was terrified of tall men with fur hats. I recruited some tall friends and they helped socialize my 2 yr. old dog, tossing him kibble and LETTING HIM COME TO THEM (while we had him on a 6' leash.) You have to create conditions which tempt the dog to take the scary risk, one baby step at a time. This respects the dog, restored his sense of agency, and lets the dog feel more confident in his own power to be safe without being reactive.
EVEN AFTER YOU THINK ALL THE FEAR IS EXTINGUISHED, it can return, especially when dog thinks his savior or pack is endangered. It's not the dog's fault, but buying extra insurance and taking it slow when introducing new people is critically important.
My Rescued Aussie passed in July, after nearly 11 years of assisting me with balance and being Daddy's best buddy. We now take comfort in how good a life he had.
It’s enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s okay.
You go right ahead tear
IM NOT CRYING
And I’ll cry with you.
True, I don't even have any animals and this had me welling up. I like both dogs and cats, but with work I just can't keep one. They would just be pissed that I'm gone most of the day :(
Sow in tears and reap in joy, these are happy tears 😂
There’s no such thing as bad dogs. Just dogs with bad owners.
364dragonrider I agree
Nikosis that’s because people generally suck, dogs are loyal and will have your back no matter what, people will kick you when your down just so they can watch you bleed
Yes bad dogs exist. I knew one rotwailer damn dog killed one of her pups because was to close to her food...
@@yoloyeti6359 ur saying u would rather save a dog than a human
i disagree. MOST of the time, bad dogs are becasue of a bad owner. But dogs are just like people. they are living, conscious, unique beings. Some of them actually do have aggressive tendencies and can easily be "bad dogs" even with a very good owner. but its very rare.
When he first puts his hand in your hand and looks at you is beyond touching. Poor sweetie
suffered his whole life
I just cry for this beautiful dog....treated cruely. Yet inside this beautiful dog is a beautiful heart. I just cry for him. Lord have mercy.
We need to have this attitude everyday with everyone and everything! Yes, holy!
Some people should never have animals .
Brenda Seigler Some people should not live after growing up sadistic psychopaths!
This is like most living beings, just want to be treated with kindness and love.....makes a huge difference....
@@UlfhedinnNorsk There are some real sick ones running around out there. Yes there are.
Good to see Mario is rescuing animals after he saved Princess.
Haha i liked his voice, I thought well Mario went from plumber to doctor to rescuing princesses ans now dogs xD
I thought he was Italian at first but he spoke some Greek I think. Channel says It's In crete, I'm not familiar with the cretan accent I guess. Also Takis is clearly a Greek name lol.
@@ub3rfr3nzy94 yes he's Greek he said "Ναι αγόρι μου, ναι" . Although his English accent is very weird, he sounded Italian to me as well and I'm Greek lol
How appropriate the dog is called Phoenix after the mythical bird that rose from the ashes to start a new chapter in its life.
I enjoyed this comment as much as the video :)
So many ignorant comments on ignorant videos have 2k+ likes... This comment should have 10k+! I agree with Shaun, I enjoyed this comment as much as the video!
A reborn with what ? Love, simply love. 💚
Just like every other rehabilitated person and animal
I don't know why this comment made me feel the way it did. Choked me up as soon as I read it.
You can see the exact moment that the dog started to trust his rescuer and I made me tear up. Dogs and animals in general should never be in a abusive situation. I am so glad that his rescuer was able to save him. 😢
I'm convinced the lowest level of hell is reserved to those who abuse animals.
Ameen
Is there hell?
And children
Nah, they are pretty deserving of hell but the lowest level are for a much more major crimes but yea... the people that abuse their pets and stupid and deserving of punishment
right next to Hitler
I have never seen aggressive dogs give in this quickly.
Takis hands is blessed by God daily...Thank you father for sending our brother Takis. Dogs love is much needed in this world and they need our love too...
Positive People Are Winners,...👍🌹
I agree, knowing the love of a dog could transform any heart! All they want to do is love you & make everyone around them happy. Too bad more humans couldn't think like dogs!
Isn't agressive, is pure fear, he just want to be alone, because somebody hurt him
Dogs can sense kindness and love real quick. They can quickly sense people's negative vibes too.This guy is a hero, keep it up Dude
@MAD GRUMPYMAN You're getting ignored
That moment in the dog's eye, when he realises being petted is a nice thing.
I swear, man, I didn't shed a tear.
manoman0 yeah man, me neither 😭😭😭
It's just my allergies alright?
@@ethanwilson9406 ...or dust. Or a eye burn. Or sweat. Anything but tears, good sir.
Onions!! Who is cutting all these onions?! Why are there onions everywhere I go?! 😭
It's more than ok if y'all did. ☺
Phoenix wanted to go around and show EVERYONE he was a good boi, not like before. TY Takis and the shelter for showing the true Phoenix. You saved him and gave him his true heart again.
His bite was so reluctant. You could tell he didn’t want to do it.
Yes! He just didn’t want to be hit, poor thing. I loved how he kept going to everyone for pats at the end, like “wow this is great!”
Poor thing....sick people treat another life like that....!!
Whoever his previous owner was, he/she needs to be locked up for animal cruelty. 😡
@jopageri1964 Yep! 👏 👏
I can think of a few more fitting punishments, but that would be a good start.
@@matThaHatter Yes it would! 😡
I'd pay for the chance to treat that scumbag the same way this poor dog was treated
#LondieJ I totally agree.
Oh my god I legit wanted to cry when he realised he didn’t need to be afraid. His eyes immediately softened, and you could genuinely see relief and pain in his features. I know there’s this argument that animals don’t emote the same way that humans do. But the switch in personality is crystal clear. Thank you for giving this good doggo some hope and happiness.
Of course i didn't cry...
I don't mean to bust your bubble, but that wasn't the dog letting go of his fear. That was the dog being so terrified that he figured that inaction is the best way to avoid getting hurt, basically giving in. It's called "learned helplessness" in animals (and also humans) and is very natural when an animal realizes they can't stop unwanted stimuli. It's how veterinarians calm dogs down, for example. This dog won't get better in just a day, maybe never. It's a long, long process.
Edit: you would never take such a direct approach with a dog this abused. It's all for the video. I'm sure they're taking it far more gradually off-screen which will have better long-term effects.
Dogs and humans are the only 2 animals that both look to the left side of the face for emotion.
We have spent 10s or even 100s of thousands of years evolving by eachothers side
@Damien Dingus we don't need god to emote.
@elin don’t agree. Giving a paw is clearly not assumed helplessness. He engaged and gave it
I'm sobbing like a baby watching this. How anyone can treat an animal so harshly and let them live like this is so upsetting. Thank you, Takis. You are an angel sent from above to these animals. ❤️
Sobbing
Ok
Human get treated worse. Remember that op.
This makes me physically ill. The poor baby was scared to death. I loved the end when he went up to every single person to get attention.
Right?? Poor baby couldn't get enough!!
@Eeed Tor Shut up troll
"Wait, so this one pets me too?"
Goes to show, not everything is, as it seems on the outside. If only humans were this patient & compassionate.. with other people as well. :( Be well.
@Eeed Tor It's mutt, you dope. Also, it's "would have."
CORRECTION: PHOENIX WAS MADE TO BECOME AGGRESSIVE. PHOENIX WAS AND IS ALWAYS LOVELY AND LOVING. Hugs and petting cuddles from India.
theyre animals dipshit all animals are made aggressive
At first he was like, “DONT TOUCH ME! GET AWAY!” Then he was like, “wait don’t stop petting me, where you going?”
He was well named. Thanks to Takis, just like the Phoenix, he rose from the ashes of violence and neglect to become a gentle, loving, affectionate doggie. 💕
❤❤❤❤❤
Dios te bendiga ❤🙏🏻Takis
You can literally see his eyes change once he understands he is given affection. Sad and beautiful at the same time.
So much pain in his eyes.. Still all he wants is love.. Animals are truly wonderful beings..
Yesss I was just about to say tht you can tell the second tht baby just melted in his hand ohhh wow this was sad but good too
He is a black lab. It's so sad that SOMEONE abused such a smart dog. I'm glad he is being loved and took care of.
If he's a black lab he needs some food
DIG GER I agree I think he is too thin built to be a lab. Likely a happy mix!
Dude that is not a black lab what's wrong with you? that dog is way too small LoL
@@aceheru7855 he's most likely mixed lab dumb dumb
@Worzol Gummage dog is a dog. Pure bred dogs tend to be less intelligent and have more health problems. Mixed breeds tend to be smarter and healthier.
No need to be a dick. Clearly the dog is part black lab.
In that moment where he leans his head into the handler’s palm really got me. I came from an abusive home and I empathized with that. You’re scared by affection, but want it so desperately. Thank you for this.
I'm so sorry for you man, hope you are with good people now!
You deserve every bit of affection and I believe that you‘ll have someone on your side, who will show you how being loved truly means♥️ Good luck for you brother
Sorry to hear. I pray a healing for your heart... 💛💛💛
I so get this as a survivor of abuse too, it’s an awful feeling to feel that you are desperate for that love and affection, but terrified by it, and then always doubting that they really love you that in the end I can push them away with my insecurities. I wish you find/have found love and affection from friends and lover’s. All the best never forget that you are a warrior and survivor. Take care
Sending you hugs my friend 🤗❤️🙏
What a fantastic transformation, Takis, you are so good to take these abused animals, and give them the love they deserve. Thank you. 🤗
Animals know the good guys from the bad.
When I put my hand towards my rescue cats they lean into my hand bc they know their ears n bellies will be rubbed.
Him going up to each person for pets so that he can make up for the love he missed out on 🥺🥺🥺🥺
69th like
It broke my heart when that moment came where you can literally see the poor dog break. His eyes said it all.... "I have wanted this kind of affection all my life". God bless him and his rescuers. I hope he gets a good permanent home.
I see fear more than aggression .
Great animal insight.
They are synonymous, fear can be shown through aggression
Still dangerous. I wouldn’t leave that dog around a small child. Dogs are known to have redirected aggression.
The Hawk yes Defiantly for this dog, but if a dog is brought up around children they should be fine. I have an Airedale terrier who can get a little rough when playing with the other dogs. If i were to grab him to tell him to stop, he would turn like he was going to bite you but then stop because he knows he would get in trouble. He’s never bit at me or kids since he was a puppy. If a dog is around people they will know not to bite unless they are abused like the poor dog in this vid.
The two aren't mutually exclusive, it's fear manifested through aggression.
You are an Angel for helping him. Thank you so much.
I remember when you rescued Phoenix after you showed him so much love he melted into your arms beautiful Takis just beautiful
It's healing us to watch 🙏🏼💜✨
Vóce e um anjo
Kill the owners
@@jessiethomas7152 yep
This man is a truly beautiful and patient person: what amazing work he does and what a beautiful soul he is 💜
Takis is doing gods work. He is a saint of dogs.
I agree how wholesome, exactly what we all need in this moment of uncertainty and stress. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy to anyone reading this :)
Amazing! Well done mate. Keep up the good work :)
When he took his hand away and Phoenix starting barking... he was like “No! Friend! Come back!”
😢
Thank you for showing love and kindness to this precious soul. He’s a beating heart that can feel pain and sadness. Fear and nerves. Love helped him come out of his mental anguish. How I wish to GOD the former owner could PAY dearly for his evil treatment of this poor innocent baby boy! I will continue to wish for true Justice for this little angel! 🙏🏼♥️🐶♥️🙏🏼
