Nellie, a female pitbull, is 5 years old and has never had a real family before. She was shy and isolated and hated the presence of companions or people. If we don’t know the reasons for this behavior, such as the owner’s death or mistreatment, we know what caused the dog to completely transform!
Nellie, despite her famous wisdom, had always been a shy, even fearful, dog. The dog was transferred after a year of living with a family. She has been moving from one shelter to another ever since. Only after she was rescued by the Final Frontier Rescue Project and taken in by her temporary foster family did the dog transform!
“She was round and cute,” Taylor recalled six months after her rescue. Despite everything, Nelly needed to exercise, so she started exercising and lost about 20 kilograms of weight. Despite getting all the attention she needed, the dog retained her scary side; Loud noises worried her, and new meetings were never helpful to her. I avoided meeting new people and animals.
Her mother, Taylor, spent a lot of time trying to calm her dog’s unusual behavior while she waited to find a forever family.
Nellie surprised her surrogate mother one day by revealing her true personality. This incident had a major impact on the dog’s personality, as well as her relationship with her mother.
Taylor and Nellie go hiking in a Texas state park in March. A rattlesnake appears on the way back. I started screaming as the terrified pedestrian approached. The dog steps between the snake and her mistress at this precise moment, allowing Nellie to stop the snake between her legs. A bold act, if it saved Taylor, it also showed that when Nellie cares about anything, she stands up for him, including his family!
Nellie was bitten in the face during the battle. The two animals were separated only because of the involvement of a person who was present at the scene of the fighting. The man grabbed the snake by the tail and pulled it away from an unfortunate wounded dog!
It was Nellie’s turn to rescue her, and when she came, Taylor took the dog to the clinic!
The damage did not appear to affect the dog, which began to recover after taking appropriate doses of antivenom and antibiotics. It was a turning point in Nellie’s life, as the previously fearful dog became less shy and more outgoing! As a result, she became outgoing and no longer shy.
If Taylor had to leave the dog with someone today, she would do so with peace of mind that the Nellie of the past was no longer alive. She understands the joy of sharing a moment with someone! Taylor, on the other hand, will be forever grateful to the brave dog who saved her life.
