This rescue dog is so traumatised, she simply CANNOT face the world

While these types of videos are hard to watch, we reckon they have to be seen in order to see the amazing work done by rescue centres in Ireland. 

While this rescue dog had a happy ending, not all of them do. 

A video released by PAWS Animal Rescue Ireland showed the terrible state of a rescue dog that had been abandoned on a roadside in Kilkenny last summer. 

The dog was so scared and traumatised that he could do nothing but cower against a wall as a rescuer attempted to comfort him. 

"It was clear that whatever had happened to her in her short lived life, had so badly traumatised her, she couldn’t even bare to move or look at her surroundings," read the strongly-worded caption to the video posted on Facebook.

Thankfully though, the female dog named Cara was adopted and swiftly began to regain her confidence and trust in humans. 

She even made a doggy friend in her new home and this 'after' video shows all the progress she has made. 

"We have been sent this fantastic video of Cara," says the new proud owners. 

"From the nervous wreck she was in the first video to now. It makes us so very happy."

It makes us super happy too.
