      If you think about it, humans and dogs are EXACTLY the same. We are as a species SO SCARED of each other. When we show each other love, it’s the same as Ralph’s reaction. The major difference is that dogs know what love is. Unfortunately, humans don’t.

    Eldad knows:
    Anger or aggressiveness is usually fear,
    And perfect love casts out or wins over fear.
    Hope for Paws always has been showing and having unconditional love and it melts away all that heart wrenching fear these poor puppies have through whatever they havebeen through.💝💝💝

    This was so incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I just recently had to do the exact same thing with a feral juvenile cat that's been hanging around my house, and let me tell you, even though she had never had human contact before, or the only humans she knew were mean to her, she is now one of the sweetest, most grateful little cats I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and she licks my hands and face to thank me for saving her every day. Never give up on animals, because once you win them over, they will be grateful to you for the rest of their little lives.

      You're right all animals have feelings as well dog cannot scream and ask for help but we can so sometimes we need to sacrifice. Because a life is worth a life too. For us there age is like only up to 5-10 years but for them its like 50+ their time is worthing so much for them. Make their life the best. And if someone can't change the world alone let's help together. Their not toys and think what do they feel and think if you're in their position

    I miss hearing your soothing and reassuring voice with the rescues . I can understand that some of the music that has been chosen for these videos have a meaning to match the sentiment of what rescuing is all about. Perhaps the music can be for the intro/outtroor in the background softly so that we can still hear your voice. Thank you for all you do!
