After Being Rescued A Scared Dog Abandoned On The Side Of The Road Melts In A Woman’s Arms

Left to fend for herself on the side of a desolate road, this little dog had every reason to feel distrustful and frightened.

But despite her sad ordeal, the pup’s instinct to trust and love was never far from the surfac.

Animal rescuer Georgiana Neagu recently posted heartbreaking footage of the moment she came upon the abandoned puppy while traveling in Romania.

After stopping her car, the terrified dog ran near Neagu, only to hide and whimper when Neagu reached out to her.

But once brought to safety, the little dog soon blossomed — licking Neagu as if to say thank you for making her feel safe enough to be her sweet self again.

Here’s that moment on video:

How the dog ended up in that perilous spot may never be known for certain. But one thing is clear: Her future now has never looked brighter.

“She was named Paula,” Neagu told The Dodo. “She is still with me until she find a forever home. She is around 11 months old and is a bundle of love.”
