Dog Rescued from Junkyard Helps Other Rescue Dog Recover

&feature=player_embedded

A captivating animal rescue video from Hope for Paws is gaining millions of views and in the process probably has a few people in tears.

Eldad Hagar of the Los Angeles-based nonprofit posted the footage. First, a dog living in a trash pile is seen. The dog rescuer received an urgent call about the animal after she had been found homeless and living among garbage for months. At first sight, the outlook for this dog does not look good. She appeared ravaged and was found to be suffering from mange, parasites, bacterial infections, and malnutrition. Medicated baths would be needed to help her heal.

After some reluctance, the dog climbs in to Hagar's car and they travel to the Veterinary Care Center. Hagar nicknames the dog Miley.

With the proper treatment and a little rest, Miley begins to noticeably improve. But the story of second chances is just beginning. Hope for Paws then introduces us to another dog, Frankie.

I have a big dog and a rescue Chihuahua and they took to each other like ducks to water.

Anyone not affected by this has no heart.

Yet us humans, probably have ages to achieve that "wisdom" ?

A question that will always baffle me, and keep me from agreeing that humans are the most intelligent species on Earth.
