Pup Rescued From Dog Fighting Barks For First Time In His Life
A dog, broken by his experiences in dog fighting, is slowly finding his way after years of love and support.
Scooby found a patient and loving home with his dad, Chris, after a year-long stay at the shelter. When he finally came home with Chris, it was clear he was extremely terrified of absolutely everything—especially people.
Chris could tell that Scooby was “locked inside of himself.” For two years, Scooby wouldn’t even look at Chris he was so fearful. He would freeze in place and pretend to be a statue. He also never made a sound.
Chris wanted to give Scooby his voice back, so he encouraged him to bark. Now, after four years, Scooby will bark happily. Though Chris says Scooby will never be a “normal” dog given his experiences, he is learning to be happy, day by day.
