Fearful Pittie Lived Her Entire Life In The Woods Until She Met Someone Who Spent Months Regaining Her Trust

Unfortunately, not every doggo gets to live a life of love and comfort.

A lot of them are destined to live in very harsh conditions with no affection and warmth, forced to fend for themselves by eating scraps and drinking rainwater.

And, even when these pups finally get saved by a loving hooman, it takes them a very long time to finally realize that they mean no harm to them and are only there to help.

One such doggo was a beautiful PitBull named Ruby who, after spending her life in a forest, was very hesitant to trust a hooman who wanted to help her.

Doggo In The Woods

When a woman by the name of MaryAnne came across a full-grown dog living all by herself in the woods, she was completely heartbroken when she saw the state she was in.

The pup, Ruby, was so malnourished that her bones became fully visible.

She tried to approach her and take her in, but Ruby only allowed her to give her a couple of pets before disappearing into the woods again.

“I knew there was no way she was going to make it through the winter as small as she was,” MaryAnne told The Dodo.

Not having much time, MaryAnn was determined to gain the trust of this fearful dog and help her gain some weight before the freezing winter.  

One Step At A Time

From the day she found her, MaryAnn started going into the woods every single day for weeks, bringing Ruby some yummy food and letting her know that there was nothing to be afraid of.

However, Ruby would only approach her so that she could take the food. As soon as she grabbed it, she would go back to her “safe place”, as MaryAnn puts it.

As spring arrived, MaryAnn started noticing progress, but it wasn’t until early summer that she managed to get her out of the woods.

“It took a few months to get her to come to me day after day,” she said.
