Dogs that have been hurt often develop a fear of humans, which can lead to aggressive behavior, just like this dog in Taiwan...
More than five months ago, its owner entrusted it to an animal protection center because they were unable to take it abroad.
In the beginning, when the owner had just left, the dog would become unusually agitated in the face of everything unfamiliar, and was in constant fear of being abandoned.
Gradually, it started barking and even attacking other cats and dogs for no reason.
Leaving it alone in a room isn't a long-term solution either...
To alleviate the dog's emotional distress, they brought in an animal behavior therapist, hoping he could help the dog overcome its trauma.
At first, the dog was unruly, but with the therapist's patient help, it gradually became more tolerant of things.
It no longer barks randomly, and has even learned some commands.
Everything is moving in a positive direction...
To document the dog's improvement, the animal protection center posts updates online every day, showing the dog's gradual progress and reassuring everyone.
However, just as everyone was relieved by the dog's rapid transformation—on the morning of the 148th day, the animal protection center staff suddenly announced:
The dog will be euthanized in two days!
Everyone was stunned. Wasn't the dog supposed to be getting better? Why would they make this decision?
It turns out that although the dog's tolerance has increased, it still attacks other dogs from time to time.
Even so, this is just too unfair to it...
It's too cruel that it's sentenced to death when it's so young and doesn't have an incurable disease.
Immediately, netizens expressed their sympathy.
Ultimately, even the therapist who had been helping the dog throughout the ordeal was forced to respond...
He said helplessly that they made this decision after much deliberation.
The dog is indeed getting better, but the treatment has indeed hit a bottleneck.
To completely resolve the psychological issue of a dog biting its companions, its original owner needs to step in and assist it.
This role is irreplaceable by anyone else.
He then communicated and coordinated with the former owners several times, hoping to get their help.
However, due to the distance, several suggestions were rejected. Finally, the owner agreed to euthanize the dog.
When I saw this story, I felt a sense of helplessness.
I desperately wanted to beg the animal protection center not to give up on it and to give it another chance, but I knew I was powerless to do anything about it.
When will they finally stop being so easily abandoned by everyone? I want to see that day come...
