I loved that moment when he relaxed and enjoyed the human touch, realizing that he is finally safe and no one is going to hurt him.

It's amazing how quickly animals can forgive humans for abusing them and neglecting them. Truely beautiful angels

8 years later and watching Ralph still makes me cry, literally. I just don't understand how someone can abuse such a cute little man.

Those moments Eldad spent with Ralph by the brick wall at the vet's are some of the most poignant and heartwarming I have ever seen. Thank you for what you do.

Humans give them pain, but when they see love from us they forgive us and start to trust us again, what wonderful creatures far far better than humans

I love how he was so scared but then when he was getting petted for the first time he closed his eyes like he was thinking "finally..."

That moment when he finally trusted Eldad. My God, what an incredible moment to capture on camera. So beautiful, so touching. Eldad, you are an angel.

I went through this with one abused rescue and it nearly broke me. Eldad does this for a living and deserves some kind of medal for his courage, love and patience.

Is it just me or can anyone else see it in the Dog's eyes the realisation that they have been saved.

You can literally see the exact moment he started trusting you. His eyes showed relief. You are the best Eldad! I'm so glad he gets to be a dog again. Thank you for all you do for animals.

So glad Little Ralph found a loving forever home!!

I love that final picture of him being held in his Mama's arms! He looks so very happy, content, and loved! it was all worth it. this is why no dog or cat should be given up on. All they need is Love!

u cant blame these dogs for being aggressive after what they've been through. those who abused them should. thank you for rescuing these dogs

5:49 Swear to God, Ralph looks like he's about to cry when he realizes he's with good people.

Seeing Ralph's demeanor change on camera was just a special moment. He was definitely abused as are almost all of them.

Also, during the bath he LITERALLY looks like he’s smiling lol

05:48 made me cry: when his face expression showed that all his aggression was deep sadness and that being pet is both painful and beautiful for him... 💔😢

It is so beautiful to see that Dogs reaction from "dont touch me!" to "oh, that touching is actually pretty nice."

At first I couldn't understand what the man was doing with the blue blanket.He's such an expert at what he does.

Eldad recognizes that rehabilitation starts immediately and he is so wonderful with them.

Lovely to see that transition from agitation and aggression to recognising that you're not a threat and beginning enjoy being pet.

you can see the expression on the dogs face when he starts scratching his head you can tell he's thinking "well that feels kinda nice!"

U can literally see he's scared and doesn't trust. And than he calms down, he was crying tears of happiness. So glad this pup learned too trust again.

Eldads patience, touch and calm energy = trust ❤💕

my goodness you could see the change in his expression when he actually allowed him to pet him with the blanket. It looked like he was waiting for that for a long while! So sweet

That moment when they realise the touching is good. It gets me every time.

I can no longer watch the beginnings of these videos, as they are just too heartbreaking. I just fast forward to where the dog has been rescued and doing well. Thank you for rescuing all of these angels.

Wow! I’ve watched nearly all of your rescues, Eldad, but this one - watching that hyper-tense, frightened dog - start to close his eyes and very slightly relax (when you were still using the blue rag) was truly amazing and extremely moving! Just an incredible moment! Again, a very sincere, heart-felt “thank you” to you and your staff. 🇨🇦

your patience with these poor creatures is so wonderful, thank you for this work.

that part where he pet him with the blanket and the dog calmed down nearly made me cry

😢 so beautiful, when he understands that he can trust people again. Eldad, you and your team are truly great people.

Omg the look in his eyes when he started to pet him with his hands...you could see it dawning on him that being touched is actually nice!!!

it must feel good to know what you are put on this Earth to do, you are a beautiful soul😊

I love that sweet moment when he goes from "Get that godforsaken blue thing away from me" to "Oh... actually that's quite nice. Go on I suppose." :)

Thank you Tina for giving him a permanent place to live. Thank everyone else for doing what you did to get him where he is today.

All Ralph needed was someone who would love him and be his pal! God bless you Ralph and your forever family ! Love can go a long way ! Thanks to Hope for Paws !

You can tell hes been through a lot to be very fearful of humans. Poor baby, thank you for saving him and taking y ur time to save this poor little pup🙌🏻

I don't know why I found it funny that he went from "Don't you touch me with that!" to "...I guess this isn't so bad..." then to "This actually feels pretty good."

6:37 his little face when his head got scratched ;_;

It is so cute when he pets him with the towel on top of the head. That's when the dog starts to believe in hope.

Ralph must have been Badly Abused, I Found a dog who had Cuts on her paws from whips and she actually trusted me and now she's my forever pet named Nalla

When the dog started calming down it was crying ;(

Well done. Ralphs little Soul was so damaged. Your Love & care healed his entire being ♥️ So beautiful ♥️

This video was posted in 2013. It is 10-05, 2019. I hope Ralph has had a wonderful happy life with his loving furrever family.

His tail said everything. At first he is full of scared but when his second chance appeared his tail looks so happy. I am so proud of you,knowing that you exist, makes me think that there is some angels in the earth.

awwwwww that moment when he realized he wasn't there to hurt him but to give him love again!!!

I am actually going to use this method of rehab on a dog at my local humane society. They’re gonna put her down soon because she has fear aggression but imma try to save her by doing this

Oh these tiny brave angels just touch my soul. Watching them finally feel safe and letting love in is JUST SO HEALING for my broken heart. Thank you Eldad! Loreta, Joanne, and all the other amazing team members: MWAH & ANGEL WING HUGS to you all!

"and tears stream down your face" nah.. I just... I just have something in both my eyes is all..... I seriously love these videos...

you inspired me alot and when my dog acts agressive to me and other dogs i know how to touch him without biting me and now his all loving and cuddling with me

Once again it is proved that LOVE BEATS HATE... Thankyou Eldad and all your staff...patience is indeed a virtue with rewards. Whoever hurt Ralph so, I cannot voice my opinion. But ..

Eldad, you are an awesome human being. Thank you for your patience and kindness towards these abandoned animals and allowing them a new and better life. God bless you and those who work with you!

Love me when I least deserve it because that's when I need it the most.

watching him slowly accepting the blanket, and then the hand was awesome.

Oh! That moment when the dog's heart softens and trusts Eldad to finally pet him.

Here I start my day crying my eyes out. God bless all those who save the animals, and especially Hope For Paws.

I have been binge watching all their videos ever since I woke up and found them this morning. Help me.

i have watched this video before, but still love it!! when you first rub his head and it closes his eyes--like he wants to trust you but he is still not sure!! but finally he gives in--wonderful dog!!

Thanks for helping this little guy, and giving him love. That moment where he realizes that not all human hands are there to hurt him was truly heartwarming.

The cruelty of humans never ceases to amaze and the healing power of love is beyond belief!!

hope for paws: PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT. there is lost abonnon dogs all over Mexico please find a way to save them, I swear to Dennis the poor pit bull who passed..... that emeideitly you will see at least 50 lost and enjerd pups. please try to help them

Eldad knows: Anger or aggressiveness is usually fear, And perfect love casts out or wins over fear. Hope for Paws always has been showing and having unconditional love and it melts away all that heart wrenching fear these poor puppies have through whatever they havebeen through.💝💝💝

How could anyone abuse such a sweet dog ? He's so cute. Thanks for giving him a chance. So glad he got adopted.

Thank you for saving Ralph, so he can now be loved.

I'm sure you hear this all the time, and I hope you never tire of it, but I need to say, you truly are a wonderful human being, *****.

This was so incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I just recently had to do the exact same thing with a feral juvenile cat that's been hanging around my house, and let me tell you, even though she had never had human contact before, or the only humans she knew were mean to her, she is now one of the sweetest, most grateful little cats I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and she licks my hands and face to thank me for saving her every day. Never give up on animals, because once you win them over, they will be grateful to you for the rest of their little lives.

God bless her and Ralph. So glad he has finally found love and stability. He deserves it so much.

Just seeing this one 7 years later. It's interesting your learning process in the seven years. The one that did not change is you love of the animals and your drive to see them taken care of. Respect.

Omg this man and girl IS HEROS!

Step 1: Curl up in a ball. Step 2: Try not to cry. Step 3: Cry A LOT.

Another rescue leaving me in tears. Thank you so much for making such a big difference in the lives of so many furry friends!

Eldad, you have a gift. That dog was hostile. You tamed him in no time.

Bless His Heart!!! All of the dogs deserve a second chance, more than most of the people...

Rip my dog Lilly :( died last night from a heart attack

This made me cry. No kidding. Such a beautiful soul. Thanks for caring enough to care.

5:58 that moment when he realized touching was good 😍😢😢

A couple months ago there was a black and brown dog wandering around our yard. She had a collar but I wanted to keep her. But we called her owners and it turns out their dog escaped. I feal so good bringing back their dog. And I wanna be a vet or work in a no kill animal shelter when I grow up. :3 And watching these videos makes me want to do it even more.

Is it just me, or do these rescues make you cry tears of joy?

This video never gets old! Always makes me cry, with happiness.

U guys are amazing,it brought tears to my eyes seeing how terrified he was of humans poor baby,bless u all

You can see the second the dog decides to trust :( These things are so sad. I wish every human had a pet that they loved more than anything. Animals deserve better

I had to chuckle at the beginning when you were trying to trick him to get the leash on. He's like "put the damn leash away and just give me the cheeseburger." Your patience and dedication paid off, what a beautiful transformation. :-)

Aww when you see him close his eyes like “Ohhh.. this isn’t so bad after all.. “

I love their constant eye contact with their owners, this was really beautiful ❤❤❤

All dogs ever want is to be loved! I don't understand how some humans can be so cruel towards them. I know sometimes they misbehave but there's no reason to ever abuse a being that is defenseless against you :'(

Thank you Eldad, as ever, and thank you Tina, for giving him his forever home.

you are magical and I love watching you with all these really deserving animals. I miss hearing your soothing and reassuring voice with the rescues . I can understand that some of the music that has been chosen for these videos have a meaning to match the sentiment of what rescuing is all about. Perhaps the music can be for the intro/outtroor in the background softly so that we can still hear your voice. Thank you for all you do!

Ok I’m balling my eyes out now! 😭 I don’t know how anyone can hurt an animal; any animal including farm animals! They all deserve 💕

When he started calming down and let his head be petted by a hand, oh I cried happy tears

You can see what poor Ralph is thinking while he is being petted with the blanket: 5:00 No! Stay away! 5:31 It's not hurting... 5:45 You won't hurt me? Really? 5:54 No! It's a trick! 5:57 So gentle... 6:07 Please be real.

Fiesta little chap...so,special when he submitted to your touch and you could see he loved it and was so exhausted. Beautiful rescue. Ax

This is still one of my favorite hfp videos --- the music, the story, the setting, and of course the unforgettable little dog's spirit. I hope he had a great life.

Snap snap snap... oh actually... that feels nice. God bless you Eldad you truly are a hero 😭

I know this is an older video, but I love it. You can see the very moment when Ralph's demeanor changed and he decided that maybe, just maybe, THESE humans weren't going to hurt him after all...and then he became a whole different dog. Thank you for saving him, and being patient enough to allow him to reach that point

Who is here watching and its 2019? these guys been hard at work for years! TY

Crying... I don’t have words. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seeing that exact moment where he suddenly realized that the touch -even if it was just the towel at first- was comforting, leading to a total acceptance of the pleasure from being petted gently and lovingly was *sigh* so beautiful!

The look in his eyes when pet with love is amazing.
