Eldad Hagar, co-founder of the?
Hope for Paws
?animal rescue, thought he was simply on his way to pick up
another stray dog -- not always the easiest task, but a large part
of his job. Little did he know that the dog he was sent to rescue
was going to give him such a surprise.
Stray Ava in Parking Lot
After living on the street for several weeks, the stray pup was
understandably nervous. It took Eldad a few minutes of ?coaxing
with treats and coos to get the stray to trust him enough to come
closer. Once she was within reach, Eldad caught her with his
special
leash?-- and here is where it got
interesting.
Frightened Ava During Rescue
One would expect a stray dog to freak out after being caught,
and they almost always do. What made Ava so special is how quickly
she came to terms with her rescue; transitioning from a whirlwind
of fear to a calm, subdued, and downright pleasant dog in ten
seconds flat.
Calm Ava During Rescue
?To me, this is like magic -- the speed that she accepted my
love...is just amazing,? said Hagar.Hagar, with the help of German
model Victoria Van Violence, managed to collar, relax, and
begin
socializing the scared pup, in under an
hour.
