Adopting a doggo is one of the most wonderful experiences one can enjoy in their lifetime! Imagine you've just had a baby, but instead of a human, it's a dog. Boom. Responsibility. Boom. Parenthood. Boom. All the love and affection you could ever ask for in the shape of a floofy four-legged companion. Though, it's no easy task raising a dog. It can be emotional, and stressful, but also extremely rewarding. And when you adopt from a rescue, you take on the risk of adopting a dog with a troubled past. This requires going on a journey with your doggo, to gain his or her trust and any potential adopter needs to be mentally prepared for that.
Building trust with your doggos is no casual walk through the dog park, especially if they have a rough history or used to be a stray. The dogs discussed in this heartwarming Reddit thread all came from difficult pasts but were given a second chance. Dogs are very cautious creatures, it can take years to fully gain their trust.
What a wonderfully heartwarming moment this must have been for OP to experience! There is no greater feeling after months of doggo ownership than to feel you are making progress with your sweet pal.
Reading through these heartwarming stories brings us so much joy. We truly cannot even begin to imagine the wonderful satisfaction it was for this Reddit user to see their doggo run and pee freely with no problems!
