The story of brave dog Bertha is truly heartbreaking.
After "8 years of loyalty", as the volunteer stated on her TikTok account, the dog was tied to a tree and abandoned by her family.
A terrible ordeal
A passer-by found the dog tied to the tree and brought her to the shelter. According to the rescuers, the dog's body shows signs of wear. They can tell she's had many puppies throughout her life.
Bertha seems happy to have found some security at the shelter. She shows her gratitude to the rescuers for taking care of her. She loves to rest and sleep. She finds it very difficult to leave her bed at the shelter.
Photos to encourage adoption
Bruna photographed the dog wearing a flower crown to show her in the best light and encourage adoption applications. You can see the photos in the video below, and they're absolutely lovely!
In the comments, viewers shared their emotions: "She's such a sweet baby. Someone please rescue her and spoil her for the rest of her life, I'm begging you." Another wrote: "This is so unfair and sad". According to Bruna, the dog is very easy-going. She doesn't pull on the lead and always looks at you with a big smile. We wish Bertha all the best.
