"Dogs teach us the power of forgiveness. As rescuers, we see this time and time again: Dogs who have been abused, abandoned or forgotten and seem broken in every way -- they trust the hand of the rescuer, thus rising up from the ashes, learning to love again."

5. so sad...

"Whenever I find a stray, I always hope there is a wonderful family that went through a horrific sequence of events that lead to losing their dog and they are desperately missing them," she said. "Sadly, this wasn’t the case for Gideon. His registered owners told the microchip company that they didn’t want Gideon anymore and hung up."

Though it's unclear if Gideon suffered from actual physical abuse at the hands of his owners, Hart says that the pup "definitely suffered emotional abuse and serious neglect."

In the video of Gideon's rescue, the long-suffering dog is seen trembling in fear of the people trying to help him. Hart says it took her and her two companions three hours of gentle coaxing to get Gideon to finally trust them enough to leave with them.
