For animal lovers, it is nearly impossible to understand how someone could purposely abuse an animal – especially one who trusts them. Dogs are tragically the all-too-common victims of cruel humans who prey on their natural loyalty and willingness to love and use that to their own detriment. Poor Angel, the pup in this video, was one such innocent victim.

Before she was rescued by Rescue From the Hart, Angel was living with a person who intentionally starved her. When she arrived at the Rescue From the Hart shelter, she was little more than skin and bones and hardly had the strength to lift her head, let alone stand on her own.


Although her condition looked dire, her rescuers refused to give up on this tiny needy pup and spent all their time working to help her slowly recover. The process certainly wasn’t easy, but when you see Angel at the end of the video you’re sure to understand why it was all worth it.

Thanks to incredibly dedicated organizations like Rescue From the Hart, otherwise hopeless dogs like Angel get the chance at a happy ending. To learn more about this rescue, check out their website and Facebook page.
