A rescued dachshund named Frank happily wags his tail even while he sleeps. Frank’s human Raphael Borges, explained in 2013 that he had saved Frank from a life of severe neglect and encourages others to do the same.

When we arrived to see him, we saw that it was even worse: as the owner had no experience in dog caring, he was locked outside in a 50 ft2 (5 m2) ceramic tiles back area, fed only with adult dog food, shedding excessively and unbearable smelly. His only friend was a torn blanket…When we got him, he was afraid of shadows, glimmerings, peed everything (including himself), no tail wagging and fearful…Now, see[ing] him enjoying his dream so much that he even wags his tail and realis[ing] that we saved a life, bringing him happiness, is moving.
