VIDEO: Abused and Paralyzed Dog Wags His Tale to Thank Saviors

You have to be a really horrible human being to hurt someone who loves you and wouldn’t hurt you no matter what. Especially if that creature has no way of defending herself.

So when we see a dog that has been mistreated and abused we don’t even know how to react and how to wrap our minds around the fact that someone would do this.

According to weloveanimals.me, the sad dog from this video is Khan. This poor fella is a senior dog who was beaten up and left to die by cruel humans.

After experiencing this horrific abuse, he was abandoned in a stream and rendered completely paralyzed. When rescuers finally found him, it was clear he was in serious need of help.

Khan was unable to walk during his first days at the Let’s Adopt rescue center.

He was, however, able to wag his tail and look to his rescuers with hopeful eyes. These two signs told the kind people trusted with his care that he was a fighter.

After weeks of intensive treatments and round the clock veterinary care, Khan made a remarkable recovery.

Soon he was walking again, showing everyone how love, resilience, and determination can create miracles!

Let’s Adopt is an international animal rescue group that works to save Turkey’s abandoned, abused, and unwanted animals.

According to wikipedia.org, cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is both the unintentional (animal neglect) and the intentional infliction by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal, regardless of whether the act is against the law.

More narrowly, it can be the causing of harm or suffering for specific achievement, such as killing animals for food or for their fur; opinions differ about the extent of cruelty associated with a given method of slaughter.

Cruelty to animals sometimes encompasses inflicting harm or suffering for personal amusement, as in zoosadism.

Laws concerning animal cruelty are designed to prevent the needless cruelty. Divergent approaches to such laws occur in different jurisdictions throughout the world.

For example, some laws govern methods of killing animals for food, clothing, or other products, and other laws concern the keeping of animals for entertainment, education, research, or pets.

Cruelty to animals is not necessarily the same thing as disrespect towards animals.

Animal cruelty can be broken down into two main categories: active and passive.

Passive cruelty is typified by cases of neglect, in which the cruelty is a lack of action rather than the action itself.

Examples of neglect are starvation, dehydration, parasite infestations, allowing a collar to grow into an animal’s skin, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when necessary.

In many cases of neglect in which an investigator believes that the cruelty occurred out of ignorance, the investigator may attempt to educate the pet owner, then revisit the situation.

In more severe cases, exigent circumstances may require that the animal be removed for veterinary care.
