VIDEO: This abused dog’s reaction to being stroked for the first time will break your heart

Kleenex at the ready?

A video surfaced today of a dog, rescued in Romania, being shown affection for the first time in its life.

The footage is hard to watch at the very start, because the dog is so accustomed to being beaten that it is screaming and crying in response to the touch of its carer… But as the clip goes on on, the dog learns to trust the human. Really heart-warming stuff.
