It's not okay to say, but I hope that whatever has happend to the animals, the previous owner who mistreated the dog gets it 10 times harder. Those people don't deserve a life here. Amazing work and massive love❤️❤️

The original owner should be also chained, not fed and left to every single parasite around him. Frickin' disgusting human being! Im so happy this dog is now safe and happy. Seeing this kind of things really makes me wanna cry. Luckily I was able to adopt a dog with a similar background. The transformation this dogs go thorugh is just insane and makes me smile.

[@fliparts2]

Seeing that Phoenix's aggression became almost a plea with the simple touch of a caress, broke my heart. How much abuse could this poor animal have received? He just wanted some love

[@pamelasalhany5363]

When he gave his trust to takis and put his head and takis hand and he was so sad I cried😭

[@hds66nl29]

I love how he went from being "aggresive" to walking up to everybody, pet me!, pet me! I love you all.

[@iTheStalker]

It's because that dog was not aggressive. It was scared. Very few dogs have real aggression. This dog was on the defense. He did not trust humans because humans have harmed him and he was protecting himself... that is, until he was shown that other humans can be trusted :)

[@nick-dq1hh]

I think the thing people don’t want to examine is why people can be abusive. It’s not like we are different from these animals. We can live in bad health, past history of abuse. There’s a bigger issue we need to think about when it comes to these darker parts of society

[@christinaweiss586]

[@charredcharlie4104]

I’ve been waiting for this all day Also he helps other animals too

[@SJActress]

You know, I am an atheist. I don't want to get contentious here. I will not challenge your beliefs. What I do know is that Takis doing this saves precious lives, and doing so affects thousands of lives positively. Him sharing it gives that experience to tens of thousands of lives. And my hope, which I believe we share, is that seeing things like this allows those tens of thousands to spread their compassion exponentially. And with time, no one will have videos like this to share, because humans won't allow it to happen anymore. He is a great person making meaningful changes in the treatment of animals. That matters to all of us, and I am so happy about that and share that hope with you.

[@Gaius__]

Yeah, many of the stories made me angry at the owners mistreating their dogs, but placing a paralysed dog on the beach and then waiting for hight tide to kill him is ... I don't even have words. That deserves jail time. Great job, Takis, you are so good with animals and you really love them.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Black is still going strong..bearing in mind the vet didn't give him much of a cgance either..but Takis would not give up..and what a wonderfully happy dog he is..paralysed and a massive facial tumour..but as happy as he could be.. teaches us all a lesson in living your life doesn't it.. i do believe that like Giroula when Black goes over that 🌈 bridge Takis will be inconsolable...

He goes without and works himself to the point that I worry about his vhf health. He gives and gives to help animals that would have died without him. Takis is truly an angel, or saint whichever some are comfortable. He could have continued to live a different life but made a choice to make a difference. Takis loves every animal in that shelter. He has done his very best to give them a place to feel safe and cared for. This man has made a true difference in hundreds of lives! How many people can say that? I'm not talking about those people like military, police, firefighters, ect. He a gentleman decided he wanted to make a difference and has! BRAVO!! Anyone that wants to judge him before you speak go walk no less than a month in the man's shoes. Those that say they want to start a shelter, I suggest this very same thing. It's easy to talk the talk! When you have to walk the walk and do the work you may find a new respect for how people like Takis live. ✌💞🙏🐾🌼

WELL SAID! HOW DARE ANYONE DISRESPECT TAKIS, A TRULY WONDERFUL MAN. HE DOES MORE FOR ANIMALS IN ONE DAY THAN HIS CRITICS DO THEIR WHOLE LIVES!

[@sbenton62]

Well said Marina!

[@MRStetteman]

I promise it is the same here. Takis is the archangel of dogs.

[@xiomaras95]

Anyone who insults Takis or maligns him in anyway is just jealous, not only because of the love these fur babies have for him, but because we the animal lovers love him too. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that those who disrespect Takis probably just sit on their backsides and do nothing but criticize because obviously they have nothing better to do with their time. To those people I say, get off your lazy backsides and do a little volunteer work to see how rewarding life can be. Takis gave up everything, what have you done to better a little piece of the world?

[@phoenixdavida8987]

Wait, people are criticizing him? Where?

[@kristy7174]

I laughed n cried through this video. Anyone can clearly see you are gifted in helping God's creatures find peace n happiness n good health! You are a Warrior my friend Takis. No one should ever say another bad thing about you. Thank you Takis for keeping on doing this incredible work. Blessings to you n all your happy tails! With love n respect from Nevada, USA.

I once had a dog who was most definitely aggressive. But, in general you're correct.

[@RyanGerhardtYimimoto]

That kind of thinking can get you hurt or an animal hurt. Animals are all different some are aggressive by nature, especially at certain times.

[@justinblazer1041]

Naaah..I dont think so..

[@jaypark2177]

False. There are dogs who just are aggressive either through disorder, personality and nature. Dog attacks and dog mauling aren't by dogs that are simply scared. There are numerous accounts of dogs that are domesticated that have severely attacked their owners due to their hidden aggression. Of course the majority of dogs are pretty well mannered in the heart but it's naive and blindly ignorant to believe aggression doesn't exist in animals.

When I was a kid, there were so many dogs that found their way to our yard, in the middle of nowhere. My Dad always let me take care of them til we found good homes. As an adult, I'm 67 now, I never had to go find a dog. They've always found me, except my current pooch. However, I've had 2 dogs come to my door I found homes for since I got her. I must have an automatic signal for homeless dogs,plus cats, domestic birds, and even lost horses! Come to Maeve's house. She's got your back! (Plus 4 paws, hooves or feathers!)

[@Delicate_Disaster]

My story was kittens! Momma brought them to live under my dads lawn mower in the shed and my dad started the mower and a kitten flew out. He tossed the mower into the air to lift the blades and found I think 6 more kittens down in a hole. We wrapped up the cut one because she wasn't moving and we laid her in the woods and I cried for about an hour telling my dad I needed to go back, I knew something was wrong and I needed to get her, so he went out and came back in with her bundled up in his hands with her making little squeaks. My next door neighbor was our crazy cat lady and the mother of our Vet. My 110 pound dog just laid around the kittens keeping them warm until our neighbor called and woke up her son. He went to his office and got formula and everything we would need to get them through the night until his office was open and he could call people in to help. He checked all the babies and glued up the hurt one, all it did was cut the skin somehow, it just knocked her out and looked worse than it was. A few days later kitties came back from the vet and we tried to get mom to go to them but she wouldn't take them so we brought them across the street to our neighbors and a stray momma took them in, she had babies but animal control got them but couldn't catch her and she wasnt eating anymore until she adopted the kittens. So these tiny blonde and white stripey kitties got a grey and brown spotted momma and got taken to our vet's house and they all lived with his family members in the area ♡ Now theres animals everywhere. I've taken in 4 stray dogs, rescued 2 from abusers, adopted one from a rescue bus, and now I have a cat that came with my house apparently. She shows up every day around the same time and waits for dinner. She used to have a brother but he vanished one day before we moved here. She used to stay about 20 feet away from us at all times. But Now we open the front door and this glossy fluffy black cat with florescent green eyes and a hot pink tongue poking out is just STARING at us from the top step lol. Ir if we dont see her we call GOOBER! And she just suddenly appears. I never see her walk, she just shows up lol. She wont walk if theres light on her, she sneaks through the dark. She looks like Toothless from how to train your dragon and she's really good friends with..... a skunk. We call him Steven. We think he thinks hes a cat.. lol

[@maeve4686]

@@Delicate_Disaster Wow. What a great memory. Thankyou for sharing. I love Steven. When my daughter was about 10, she yelled at me that there's a skunk on the deck. I opened the sliding door and pretended to be afraid. The skunk came in as I backed away telling everyone to be quiet, and my daughter panicked, jumping on the sofa, yelling til i laughed and told her it was a kitty. We had her, or my Mom had her. Cats loved her. Never have I seen such a connection. Miss Emerald was still around when my daughter was 25. Mom passed in '13, and a close friend adopted her. Thanks for my memory. That was an old kitty! Stay safe, Ms. D.D. I'm in northern California surrounded by smoke & fire, but safe. Not like the rest of the states.

@@maeve4686 that's such a fun story! So cute! I'm glad you remembered that, I love remembering things I forgot happened! I'm happy you're safe! I'm lucky right now in a sense. I have a long list of medical conditions including a chronic heart condition, breathing difficulties, and a compromised immune system. I live with my fiance and I had to quit my job at the start of the year and stay home while he works overtime to keep up on our necessities. Luckily he works in a plant that has converted over to making soap and sanitizer so his work environment is sanitary. Other than my fiance the only people I've seen in almost 200 days has been my mother and father who stop by to bring my medications and some groceries so that neither my boyfriend or I have to try to go into a store and risk me getting sick. So I'm kind of losing my mind and going stir crazy, but at the same time I'm very very lucky to be able to be so protected right now. I can't even count the amount of times my fiance comes home and has to ask me where everything in the kitchen is because I've reorganized the cabinets AGAIN out of boredom lol.

[@maeve4686]

@@Delicate_Disaster what's reorganizing the kirchen? LOL. Sorry for your health concerns. Mine is my back & I spend 90% of my time in bed. I was a firefighter and fell on a fire 21 years ago and damaged my spine & broke the last 2 bones of my cocyx off. By 2011, I could barely walk, was laid off from my medical job and that was that. I got rheumatoid arthritis on top of everything. Life doesn't always play fair. I'm with you on the friends ,but I've been bad, breaking our stay at home laws. Sounds like you have a wonderful fiance. Hoe he coos as wll a he takes car of you. Besides, I hate junk food and going out to eat. But,that's me. At least he's still working. At the age of 61 I applied for and immediately received disability. I don't get alot per month, but my medical is covered 100%. My prescription cost is $1.30 per. I feel very fortunate to live in this wonderful country. I hope it doesn't change. Stay safe, wear a mask (tho in my opinion it's a panacea from the Gov't).
