Like humans, dogs deserve to be loved and taken care of. However, there are times when canines are mistreated by their owners. No pooch deserves this mistreatment, so rescuers are here to save the day.
A dog named Phoenix believed that everything a man offers is equal to pain. His life revolved inside a cage where he was chained while being mistreated by a violent man. Locals reported the brutality, so the police came into action.
Police officers tried to seize Phoenix, but he was too aggressive. They cannot figure out Phoenix’s aggression, so they contact Taki. Taki owns Taki’s shelter in Ierapetra, Crete, Greece.
Phoenix was captured, placed inside a crate, and brought to the shelter. When they arrive at the shelter, Phoenix does not want to come out due to fear. Taki tried to show love to the dog, but it only bit his gloved hand.
As much as Taki wants to rescue the dog immediately, he does not push the situation. He does not want to stress the puppy, so he tells Phoenix he will try again next time.
After a few hours, Taki tried to help Phoenix once more. This time, the dog’s mood switched surprisingly. Phoenix sensed love from the rescuer, so the pup gave in peacefully.
The dog leans his head and reaches his hand to Taki. The rescuer could not hide his happiness, so he shouted, “Bravo!” as he tamed the aggressive pup with love.
Taki said it took time for Phoenix to realize that a man’s hand does not always mean pain. But as time passed by, the dog’s behavior changed.
The dog’s previous owner said that he used to kill cats. But now, he plays well with them and the other pets living with him in the shelter.
Taki said that Phoenix is now doing great with everyone. Like other animals, the puppy only wanted to experience human love and care.
