When the video was shared by Planète Animaux, it quickly went viral.
With over 6.7 million views and thousands of comments, this little dog's story captured the hearts of people around the world.
From fear to love
When her rescuer stopped along the side of the road, she had no idea whether or not she would be able to help. But she knew she had to try. Tiny and defenceless, there was no way the brown stray could be left to fend for herself.
Crouching down and calling her over, it was clear the dog was absolutely terrified. The sound of her squealing in panic is heartbreaking, as she tries to work out whether she can trust the lady.
But on this particular occasion, love takes over, and she comes in closer for a gentle fuss.
Realising there is nothing to fear, she begins licking her rescuer's hand and face, almost as if she's thanking her for stopping.
A new beginning
''I can't even imagine what she went through to be so afraid of people. Thank you to this wonderful lady who stopped to rescue her", commented one viewer. Another responded, "What an amazing ending. And what joy to see this little dog in good hands".
Thanks to the caring samaritan who stopped to save her, this little dog now has a chance at a happy ending, safely surrounded by the love and care she deserves.
