Animals are incredibly resilient and often able to recover quickly after enduring hardship after hardship, which is something even most humans can’t do. Evidence of this can be seen across the globe and amongst endless species, ranging from domestic dogs to rare species of wildlife, as rescues become more prominent are able to rehabilitate a variety of animals. Examples that hit close to home were recently posted on a subreddit called BeforeNAfterAdoption so that people could post before and after photos of their rescued animals and redditors did not disappoint. See some of the stories below.
Ellie was my abusive ex boyfriends dog. I took her when I left. I used to call her Eeyore because she was so sad all the time. It took a while, but we got our spirits back. Top left: 11/15/15, bottom left: 4/7/16, top right: 3/23/17, bottom right: today. from BeforeNAfterAdoption
