In a touching TikTok video by user @dittawiggles, the family reveals how their anxious pup struggled to navigate through doorways and corridors when they first adopted her.
Despite trying various methods, nothing seemed to ease her fear.
Big decision
However, the owners made the bold decision to adopt a second dog, and the change was remarkable.
The new pup provided a sense of comfort and security, encouraging the anxious dog to venture through spaces she once avoided.
As shown in the video, the second dog helped lead her through doors and stayed by her side every step of the way.
Emotional support dog
With time, the first dog grew more confident, even leading the second dog through doorways.
The heartwarming story has resonated with many viewers, who praised the role of companionship in healing trauma. “Your dog has an emotional support dog,” one commenter said.
It just goes to show that it can just take love, patience and a little bit of creativity to heal a rescue dog.
