Nobody Knew How To Help This Dog Who Was Scared Of Everything, Until Her Baby Brother Arrived
93Kviews
Meet Weezy, the frightened doggie who would tremble at just about everything – until she met his human brother that is. No one knows exactly why the little Italian greyhound, who was dropped off at an animal shelter in Alberta, was so quaky all the time, but she seemed to be afraid of everything, from people to squeaky toys and even flies. The first people who took her from the shelter returned the pooch the next day – she looked too scared.
Then one day a woman named Sarah Mavro jumped into the car and drove two hours to get her. Turns out, Weezy’s teeth were in such bad condition, she was left only with two, as the others had to be removed – which explains her signature hanging tongue.
It took the doggie 3 years to bark for the first time – in her case, a sure sign of trust and comfort. Then along came baby Evan, and, miraculously, Weezy relaxed around him. “He is 7 months old now and she loves him even more than she loves us I think,” Mavro says. “She will climb right up beside him and let him get all over her.”

I'm willing to venture a guess, that if this dog was that scared of everything, and had bad teeth, and wouldn't bark for 3 years, that she was probably abused. And I"m thankful she found a happy and loving forever home!

Right here, right now I would like to thank every human being across the world who takes in an animal to love, care and feed. On a daily basis, it is small things like this that make it a big thing. You, collectively, one by one, restore my belief in human beings.
Amen, sister.
I work in animal welfare and usually foster pups or rehab dogs who've been abused in the past. I got my Jerry as a weakling who was abandoned by his own litter and mother, a wee little thing who couldn't even stand to pee at 30 days. We took him in and now he's a strapping young lad of 9 months and loves to run and jump and play. When he came to us he was so scared that he would only stay under the bed, we worked on his therapy for 2 months, and gave him some much needed TLC. I became his adopted mother and he would only sleep if I was around, my 'mini me' I call him. We fell so in love with him that ended up adopting him ourselves. He's the light of our lives especially on those exhausting days when life punches us in the face. Jeru-Baba-...7-jpeg.jpg
Agreed 100%. PS- don't kill animals to eat them either.
She is such a sweet baby! She has the cutest face!
We have a rescue that's really skittish too, it took almost a year for her to get comfortable with us. Slowly teaching her to play so she can gain some confidence. She doesn't particularly like kids or babies, but she's pretty tolerant of ours. I am always jealous of how dog like other people's dogs are and ours is more like a cat, but we love her more for it.
My service poodle is a cat in a dog suit. She took a couple of years to bark. Took 4years to "ask" to be petted. She's special but mine.
OMG the story is good but, hahaha omg, the dog remembers me to Gerald from that movie where are finding a fish (No ads), the dog is cute, but also is funny seeing that tongue outta its mouth.
I relate to this story. We adopted a 10-year-old dog over a year ago. He had lived in a shelter for about 5 years, hence was afraid of being touched, even bit if we tried to pick him up. He ran away if we approached him. So far he has learnt how to eat in a bowl, sleep in a dog bed and demand for his daily walk. We can't wait for the day he comes to us and demands for cuddles/kisses/hugs :)
Human scarred him, human healed him. Ironically it took a baby to damage control after an adult.
Thank goodness for your amazing energy love and patience. Both of your babies are adorable. I have a blue grey IG with the exact same floppy tongue and one tooth. Thanks for sharing this story about love and protection and giving back. Your IG is obviously saying thank you by protecting your baby as you protected your dog.
And then, weezy grew up to be steve buscemi
