Dog With PTSD Flooded With Support From Fellow Pooches

A dog suffering from post-traumaic stress syndrome (PTSD) has been overwhelmed with kind words - from other dogs.

The story of the dog was posted on the Humans of New York Facebook page, and tells of how the animal is terrified of anything and everything after being born in a kill shelter.

Her owner wrote: “She’s terrified of the outside world.

“When I first brought her home, she wouldn’t even leave her carrier for the first three days…

“It took us a whole year before I could get her to leave the apartment.”

The post has racked up nearly half a million likes - and now other dogs are offering their support to their nervous pal.

Some dogs - and the odd cat - shared their stories and happy-ever-afters, while others wished the “doggy” well as the posed with their humans.

One pooch ‘wrote’: “It’s hard to trust them after being treated so poorly but believe me when I tell you the ones that save you from the buildings with bars are the ones that will love you forever.

“Your human will protect you. Enjoy your life!!”

Another added: “I know life can be rough. Keep your head up.

“My human mommy loves me and shelters me like she does her human kid so I know things are good for me now.”

Dogs aren’t just man’s best friend - they are also each other’s.
