Trapped in a world too small - story of a senior dog

[@briang.4249]

The way you describe our furry friends feelings is like poetry written by an angel. Your beautiful heart is such a wonder to behold. Poor beautiful Tina who has such a big heart full of love and affection. I'm so happy that you dear lady gave Tina a second chance,to heal and be loved. Bless the dear lady who gave Tina a precious home.

[@OrphanPetGreece]

Thank you!! Their stories are poetic, and I am just lucky enough to witness them and be able to share them. :)

This woman speaking has such empathy and understanding, it makes me think she has a special gift from the Creator, beautiful.

[@OrphanPetGreece]

Tina died today, September 1st 2018, in her home in Germany. Her heart gave in, after a difficult week. She lived one year full of love, she found the puppy inside her again, and that's all she is taking with her in her last journey. 🖤

[@DankBtz]

When I first came to Greece l was in shock from how many homeless dogs were around my apartment. What shocked me even more was how the people in Athens reacted to me loving, feeding and watering these beautiful souls. By the end of my stay I had a pack of dogs waiting for me, coming with me wherever I went in the city. I wish I was able to find these dogs homes or shelters, but the language barrier was a challenge. The only comfort I was left with when leaving was knowing how many people I met in Athens that had a change of heart towards the dogs after our lives crossed paths. Dogs are not disgusting beasts, they are kind loving souls. All they want is a human to love and be loved. And in my opinion, Athens has a lot of people in need of some love. I live in Canada and due to health problems, I'll be stuck here for a while. But one day, I would love to come back and help the street dogs of Greece.

[@8schopra]

Shelby Hooyenga @ 👏☝ May they don't have to wait too long for your return !

[@OrphanPetGreece]

You are more than welcome to come. They need all the help they can get.

[@DankBtz]

The Orphan Pet When I do, I'd love to get in contact with you. Social media wise, I have a pretty large Greek following from modelling out there, so that might help as well (: I'm a huge fan of what you do, you're amazing! xxo

[@OrphanPetGreece]

Thank you! That would be great!

[@Misswiskers4]

We're there people there to pick up the care for the dogs you were caring for , after you left ?? I will always wonder and sincerely hope so.

[@carolrompca9830]

Thank you to everyone concerned in saving this beautiful gentle soul and giving her the life and the love and care she should have had...

[@lemontea128]

Thank you for rescuing her and finding a home for this poor little baby. I hope and pray all animals homeless and all will have a home to call their own and be loved unconditionally.

[@angiel2710]

Thank you for saving Tina 🙏

[@jenhr57]

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORY...LIVE FOR THE MOMENT NOT THE PAST 😊😊😇🤗

[@yuetn.rappard6410]

Awwww That made me cry that poor sad face and sad eyes of Tina. And it proves that size does not matter and that animals indeed do have souls. So pleased she was finally adopted in a loving home. To be locked up in a yard for 12 long years is a disgrace no love no proper care people are so cruel and selfish! Seniors rock!! Animals should be loved and cared for at any age.

[@giggermont5413]

@Aryan Ranger every living thing has a soul, arsehole. I think that YOU definitely don't have a soul.

[@letsdraw7222]

I find it strange that people are afraid of large breeds, they were usually not bred for aggression like some small breeds were. I mean, all dogs have different personalities but I've mostly found that the larger the dog the more like a big cuddly teddybear they are. Also, I have a personal rule that I try to spread: If an old dog want's you to pet it, you have to! I joke with people and tell them their legs will explode if they deny a senior dog it's cuddle quota. When they question my logic about that ridiculous statement I point to my own un-exploded legs as "proof". Old dogs are awesome and deserve whatever they want, especially if it's something as simple as a couple of scratches and assurances that they are the most adorable doggy ever.

[@FKBUSH1]

I always preferred big dogs. They have always seemed more gentle than smaller dogs. They have less fear, I think ;)

[@Gaius__]

I agree with what you said about large dogs being very cuddly, I have made the same experience. I guess they just don't have to prove anything to anybody, because they *know* they can kick ass, if they have to. And as for having to pet a senior dog when he demands it: Yup. *It's the law.*

[@danielangom]

I don't understand it too. It has a reason why the little ones are often called ankle biters or rats... We grew up with dachshounds and of course I loved them but if you remember that every breed has wolve blood and you see that kind of teacup dogs it's ridicouless... And all this little breeds are tormented breeds and they have additional lots of seizures... A dogs size started with knee hight dogs who are smaller then my cats aren't real dogs...

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

Your videos, and the beautiful ways you present them, always bring me to tears. Tears of sadness. Tears of joy. Tears for never having known these beautiful animals. You have well earned your Angel's Wings. May you always fly free and high.

[@lovecats7974]

Its heartbreaking that she had to wait all those years until she found that love that all animals deserve. I'm actually crying because I thought you were preparing to tell us she had died but that she has found a home is just amazing..

[@sarabarela4241]

YOU ARE THE TEN THOUSAND ANGELS IN ONE.....THANK YOU FOR YOUR BIG LOVING HEART!!!!!! ❤

[@Kill2Hard101]

You can actually see the love in Tinas face. Im so happy for her.

[@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel]

I have binge watched your videos since last night, slept, then started watching more. I am a man in my 40's. have animals now, lost animals in the past, and every video I watch, I smile, then my eyes fill with tears, then I smile again. I am going to need therapy soon. Haha! You, and the people that help you at the shelters, and the new 'mommies and daddies' of these beautiful animals are nothng short of wonderful. Keep up the good work, it will keep your soul young and shining. Thank you, from England

[@OrphanPetGreece]

Haha! ❤️🖤 Thank you so much ❤️ Their stories are so inspiring. When you stop seeing them as numbers and start looking at them individually, each animal can make a novel with its life story. Their past is usually a blurred big question mark, because we rarely know when they come from, but that makes the whole story even more intriguing and interesting.

[@samannthaswtnss9397]

This one made me cry . such a sweet soul.

[@claireh1278]

She reminds me so much of my dog, my 12 year old English Labrador. I will always love big dogs, they just want love. Tina has the droopy eyes of my dog, and the size. My dog doesn't have a huge yard, and he is fine with that. He doesn't want a huge yard anymore, he just wants to know we are home, and we aren't leaving him.

[@nathanisbombduh]

Such a beautiful dog, how could anyone do that to her? I can't comprehend it. I'm so glad Tina has found a nice forever home.

[@OrphanPetGreece]

i don't think she was ever treated as a pet, more like a backyard guard dog who was dumped after she got sick. :(

[@mattbasford6299]

@@OrphanPetGreecesome people need guard dogs. That's why dogs are property. You use them to meet your needs in a dog. Not all dogs get to cuddle up on a bed at night. They shouldn't be abused or abandoned like this one was, but there is nothing wrong with making a dog into a guard dog.

Wonderful rescue of a senior Dog. Currently we are the happy co habitors with a rescue 10 year old Black Lab and a rescue 8 year old golden lab. Both victims of being displaced after their original parents had babies and no longer had time for their fur kids. I'll never understand that thinking and I try not to judge but its hard when people think that dogs are disposable. Both the boys (shadow and Toby) are a joy and I know every day I have them is a gift but I only have to see their happy content faces to smile and know that I've made their life better.
