my heart melts everytime i see the smiles on the rescued pets when they feel safe and happy
ImDarkerThanYou
There's nothing better than seeing the transformation of a sad bedraggled dog into a happy wagging puffy pooch!
CalvinMaclure
Damn ninjas...
thefuzziestofbutts
I love these stories. And look! She wants to help clean at the end! She so freaking adorable.
thefuzziestofbutts
She is so freaking adorable. I got way too excited writing that.
DeletedProfiles
She looks so happy at the end, just adorable!
Nintura1182
I see so many of these videos and most of them seem to deal with forgotten husky/husky hybrids... makes me sad. I'd take them all in
PandraPierva
husky's, pits, and rots are the most common I would think

ScrotuclesTheBallbearian
LA is a shithole. Glad the dog is in good hands
CatsReallyDoTasteGoodInStew
Is it me, that it seems like all dogs have that dorkey smile when they're happy?
goodjobmyfellowman
Wolf hybrids usually aren't wolf hybrids
PandraPierva
I've known someone who was licensed to breed wolf hybrids...or at least i think she was. the derpiest floof puppies
DrSkyhammer
i mean all dogs are wolf hybrids when you think about it
StarmanUltra
It's not what people mean though. That dog doesn't have an actual wolf for a parent.
dwilson0725
Like, 99.9% of the time the people have no knowledge of the dogs lineage and just say this. Kinda annoying.
sculver92
Yay for rescue!!! :)
thepaladin
Dogs have an amazing capacity for mental healing.
ASmellofWineandCheapPerfume

"She learned the joys of being a happy dog, like being a pain in the ass"/
dontcallmeplath
"like being a pain in the ass without negative repercussions."
NeverAware
But, that's the best part! I remember my old pupper for all of her naughtiness.
Dracosi
I came home today and didn't keep an eye on my pup for two minutes and she ate my cats shit after I left the door open.
spiritussancto
my cat stole my breakfast this morning. i wanted that danish god damnit!
unicorniodechicle
That's not a wolf hybrid.
ohgodwhyamistillonthis
If I saw a dog like that I would steal it and call it entei, for dog looks amazing
aurifex
they called hope for paws and all the animals they rescue can be adopted http://www.hopeforpaws.org/
BishopDonJeanDaQuan
My Entei is named Mufasa
brokentofu
I feel the same, it's such a missed opportunity to have a cool pet and not name it something cool.
parkanov
fuck yeah julia
paralleluniversepam
They did a DNA test: she's husky and shepherd! And she was adopted! :)
atnair
that's literally the mix of dog I just rescued. she's white/gray and looks like a little fox. I love my doggo
paralleluniversepam
Mine too but she's got more of a coyote thing going on. Wish I could add a photo.
lindabelchersfirstcousin
Bless your dark jaded Imgur heart for this post! I needed to know that that dog lived happily ever after. Thank you.
SigynRose
Yay for the sweet baby! She needed a good home
sonderguard
Good thing she was rescued. She's not a wolf hybrid of any sort tho, rather a mix between german shepherd and a siberian husky cross.

The tail wag during the bath got me

partcleboard
oh man that first smile..... I always love how you can see the light come back in their eyes from the first shot to the end.
ihateladders
I could watch a million of these and each time it feels like my soul is being crushed. They give us their complete trust, and yet we do this
ab47203
This is exactly why I like dogs more than people...that pup was abused and neglected for a LONG time...and still trusts people
Aislar
it breaks me inside
BlondieSayWhat
I want a job that makes a lot of money so I can adopt and love them all. Ugh.
kidcolt
I feel bad reading this and I don't even own a dog.
Trojanrabbit15
If people were as loyal as dogs to one another...there would never be adultery.
Trojanrabbit15
Just a lot of ass sniffing.
tattoogrrl28
We really don't deserve dogs. They are so good.
PandraPierva
We made them. Just saying
Vyrne
We make babies too, but we definitely have an obligation to them. They're more than property. If you treat animals like shit, you're a cunt.
PandraPierva
Yes but we made dogs what they are. They aren't some gift from heaven we made them to be the way they are
Flyndaran
I would almost more believe that it was a dog-CAT hybrid than dog-wolf. Come on. That has NONE of the signs of a true wolf.
ChilledOutEntertainer
Hopefully you're aware dogs and cats can't interbreed :p
JasperTheMotherFuckingDolphin
I think that's the joke
Flyndaran
I was joking, and even then couldn't avoid the unnecessary, I thought, "almost" in my post.

LittleAldy
Whoever thinks this is a wolf hybrid probably also thinks every gun is an assault rifle.
goboltz
read that as Ass-hat rifle . . seems more correct !
convixion0
I love how as the video progresses you see her open up her heart to the people who rescued her and respond to their kindness.

Thank you
ChiLLeCheeze
Dog smiles are the fucking best. It always brightens up my day when I see my dog smile.
TheRealFireFrenzy
the frame that got me was the one in the middle "wait these humans are not garbage//all of this JUST FOR ME??" when she was cleaned/showered
ThatITdude
Aww yiss
HughBMyron
Nothing brings me more joy than seeing animals smile. Purest form of happiness in this world IMO.
zifc
They have so little brain (mostly). A kid 2/4y old is quite smart already and so fing happy all the time. It is quite incredible to witness
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Also, kidding aside, totally fucking agree

This will add nicely too my collection
munsdumbart
Aw, she's just a pup, isn't she? Seems pretty young still
PikaChunin
Yeah, she would have likely gotten much larger if not for the abuse and malnutrition. But she can still live a happy, similarly-long life.
axpersic
Probably under 6 months. Mine was 60cm high when 6 months old this one is way smaller
mimomisu
Seems like it, although the size might be deceptive since she's malnourished
daneshpastry
poor bebe :(
Rekkora
Right? Fuck people, they're garbage :(
Trojanrabbit15
People are garbage??? yet it was people who found this dog and nurtured it back to life and a happy life at that. So...
paralleluniversepam
And she seems to love people. Look how sweet she is and how she's craving cuddles
FailFish
Who said humans did that to her?
VinnieJonesDiary
Yeah, maybe a fucking Moose used to own her and mistreat her!
IfYoureGonnaBeABear
The chewed off collar and leash suggests that she escaped from being tied up outside. That and she wouldn't have gotten in that bad of (1/2)
IfYoureGonnaBeABear
shape as a stray most likely. Bought as a puppy, tied up in back yard, fed very sporadically if at all, and not bathed. Happens more (2/3)
IfYoureGonnaBeABear
Often than you'd think (3/3)
itsAone
I want to puke just thinking about it :( poor creatures, we don't deserve them
itsAone
I agree, believe me. However, not all homeless dogs are kicked out by owners. There's a lot of dogs just lost on their own fault.
gingen
would explain the ease of Julia's trust. The collar didn't seem damaging either as rough as it was. Probably long lost puppy :(
TobySomething
Yeah, it does look like she has a torn leash in the beginning. Maybe she just chewed through it and ran off/got lost.
itsAone
Yes, that's another misconception people like to say. Dogs don't try to escape only from abusers. They just want to chase random car smtimes
itsAone
Also not every injured animal was abused. Animals that are homeless trend to seek other animals, which can lead to random fights
itsAone
Tend. Autocorrect
Ispellgud
It's almost like pets need someone to take care of them. Huh. Strange.
Monkeyfighter
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I often see animals get loose cause of human negligence. (source: vet clinic)
Ispellgud
Exactly. I believe that if we can't guarantee our pets safety then we shouldn't be keeping them.
sonderguard
Good thing she was rescued. She's not a wolf hybrid of any sort tho, rather a mix between german shepherd and a siberian husky cross.
DuaneWells626
Yes I believe that,, other wise she would have gotten her hand ripped off
InboxMeYourGermanShepherdDog
I dont see any gsd but husky and maybe cattle dog
Gonnaderpya
I can see why they'd think so while she was dirtier than shit, but after a good washing it's plain to see that dog is mostly husky
rocketsurgery
Is that what she is? She's beautiful, my goodness.
Corallyne
She's a husky. High content wolf dogs are easy to pick out, both appearance and personality wise
dewhicular
No, she's not.
gibsonguy77
All dogs are wolf hybrids.
carguydaryl
It has an agouti coat. That's what makes it look like a wolf.
universalcode
achef614
Great movie!
absolutelyido
Don't they have a name for those? Or are they just called wolf hybrids?
regnant
Wolf-dogs or wolf hybrids
animatic
Dolfs.
okalies
I work for a shelter and we had a hybrid recently. We rarely euthanize animals but he was so dangerous we had to. GORGEOUS animal though...
valkrez
Are they not ALL of them wolf hybrids in some skewed sense
Usernamename
That's what my dog is! :D
AlexisWalker
She may not be a real hybrid, but that's still one beautiful dog. I would totally go for a mix like that if I was offered one.
matteyothecrazy
Yeah, people have no clue about how MASSIVE wolves are.
BreadyStinellis
For real. One walked past my car as I turned the corner. I was flabbergasted, went home and told my dad. "Are you sure it wasn't a stray or
BreadyStinellis
A coyote?" "Positive." "How?" I'm pretty sure that thing was as tall as my car. I've seen a lot of dogs and it was way bigger than all of em
WubbaLubbaDubbDub
Which are both descended from wolves. Remember all races are still homoerectus
ohmegatron
Technically, all dogs are wild hybrids.
PHUCKO
Maybe it's a Lycan.
Pygmyshrew
Tbf, before she got cleaned up that could have been the case.
BattleMercy
I think it's safe to assume the breed didn't change as the dog got cleaned up
Pygmyshrew
Exactly what MehEhYeah said, before she got cleaned up she did look kinda wolfish.
KMSiwannadie
I think he ment that it could have ben and it was hard to tell before it got cleaned
Zasep
Too tiny too
muyobi
There is definitely wolf close in its lineage IMO.
LazyShpee
Well, it's fucking adorable.
RickFlist
You are right I want to fuck that doggo
HighImpactSexualViolence
RickFlist
That looks like a man who wants to help
sonderguard
Well yes, we can agree on that :=D
Veszy
...Ur fucking adorable.
sweetsimplicity313
Of course we should all trust some random, because you're an expert on this right?
animatic
Nobody knows anything. Except: illuminati. Check mate. Chemtrails. Aliens. Barenstein Bears.
MuonNeutrino
If you look at the source vid, there's a link to the results of a DNA test.
Nintura1182
Not sure that's a german shepherd. The rear is all wrong. Shephards slope off, this one suddenly drops.
StillChasingFireflies
Not all German Shepherds do, depends on lineage. Source- I've had multiple GSDs and currently have a husky.
airyll
GSDs never used to have sloping croups - that was bred for in recent years when showers thought telemark position looked desirable.
illidank
Because it's not a purebred hip dysplasia
CanOpenersOnTheirFaces
lol Exactly. The working lines are very different too.
SupraLove
Not questioning your answer, but how can you tell??
TheAngryDogGroomer
They can't.
tehconda
The youtube video includes a link to her DNA results.
lyricallove
As someone who is too lazy to watch the video, what were the DNA results?
VictimOfTheUsersub
here's screenshots, i didn't bother to crop though /a/rLZvm

noobwrench383
Look at the feet, if the track spread its a content. Its the strongest indicator as it almost always passes on because genetically dominant.
SergeantSalsa
But it's grey and has triangle ears so it HAS TO BE a wolf hybrid
elfoe
Now that's an imgur throwback

NoLongerFoamingWolffo
Thank you for finding this! Very awesome post. Question, so is the very top picture a wolf hybrid or not?
KibaOkami
I like how if anything has even slightly 'wolf-ish features' then its deemed a wolf hybrid.
TinnyOctopus
It's a dog. It's a wolf hybrid by reason of it's a dog.
Phenomeno
Well dogs are a subspecies of wolf so it's not a hybrid just because it's a dog.
KibaOkami
You're.. You're not wrong.
TinnyOctopus
I draw the line at anything I can lift with one hand, though.
Krakencrotch
Those are cats.
skattemus
Thank you for saying this! Every other gray/white dog I meet is 1/4 or % wolf. Where are all these bitches finding these wolves to pair with
noobwrench383
My back yard. I feed the pack cheese sometimes. Were bros.
skattemus
Woah, where is this fancy backyard at?
regnant
Could just be part coyote instead of part wolf because people can't tell the difference there either
BreadyStinellis
Even though the difference is huge. Coyotes are tiny.
regnant
Yep, but no one can tell that the small, big eared, tan/brown colored animal in their backyard isn't a wolf
skattemus
Coyote snouts are more pointy
WilliamHuskerAdama
If you wanna get picky, Shepherds are technically bred from wolfdogs.
ChilledOutEntertainer
All dogs are bred from wolves.
WilliamHuskerAdama
But some are more closely related than others. Like the sSaarloos Wolfhound, or the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog
ChilledOutEntertainer
Wolf domestication happened probably a few times, but each around 10,000 years ago. So all dogs share a close MRCA. Some breeds have been
ChilledOutEntertainer
more heavily artificially selected so display bigger morpholigcal/behaviour differences, but they are not "more distantly related" to wolves
BreadyStinellis
I looked into Czech wolfdog because of some other comment. Breed started in 1952 with a dog and a wolf. Now have about 2%wolf in them.
ArcaneConjecture
Aren't dogs and wolves pretty much the same thing anyway?
ChilledOutEntertainer
Dogs are wolves which have been bred for tameness over thousands of generations. The behavioural differences are bigger than the physical.
EricEss
Its a temperament difference, dogs have very different behavior.
TiannaTV
It complicates vet procedures. Even cats have this problem a vet didn't believe this lady's bengal cat were real killed all the babies and
TiannaTV
Nearly killed the mom cat by using the traditional anesthesia rather than the stuff the bengal cats actually tolerant. So if you sell a dog
TiannaTV
And list is as a hybrid but it isn't the complications from vet visists will cost you more money and put the pupper at health risks.
MagnusTheRedCyclops
Well, not really. There are physical differences (The eyes being the most notable) but the behavioral differences are what really sets them-
MagnusTheRedCyclops
Apart.
MagnusTheRedCyclops
What I'm trying to say is that I'm at least 96% that a wolf wouldn't appreciate you trying to pet it and probably would try it rip your-
MagnusTheRedCyclops
Throat out instead.
