In Seattle, USA, a touching scene has revealed just how much music can soothe a rescue dog.
After a difficult time in a shelter, a Pitbull named Snickers was very frightened of her new surroundings when she arrived at her foster home. Every noise and movement seemed to trigger deep anxiety.
The power of music
To help her relax, her foster family decided to try using music. The foster mum sat down and began to play a few tunes on the piano.
That was all it took for the magic to happen, and the dog began to rest against the instrument.
A heartwarming reaction
"It was the most confident reaction I've seen from her since she left the shelter," her foster family told The Dodo.
An adorable video of the moment was shared online, touching the hearts of many.
Some see it as a wonderful example of how animals perceive and react to music, while others have praised the patience of foster families who help animals with difficult pasts overcome their trauma.
