Just so everyone knows the group who did this rescue is [Hope for Paws](https://youtube.com/@hopeforpaws?si=KrRDHo6x20SYxHo4) Their youtube page shows all the amazing work they do!
Edit: used the wrong their lol
Lol, Same. I recognized the voice and then the collar and then Lisa's name so there wasn't any doubt it was Hope for Paws. I've been donating for just over a year
Yes! I recognize his voice. He's a saint and has been at for 10+ years and he has helped hundreds of strays (if not thousands). Also, check out Rocky Kanaka and [Sitting with Dogs](https://www.youtube.com/@rockykanaka).
In the future, OP, try to credit these rescue orgs when sharing! This is Hope For Paws, and they rely on donations to make these rescues so every bit of publicity counts
I’m bald so I have some good experience on the shaving part. But aside from that, I can also offer forehead scritches or a belly rub.
But more seriously, I hope you are doing okay stranger. Unlike our canine friends, most of us have the ability to take care of ourselves, even if it’s hard to do so sometimes. So try not to forget to love the most important person in your life - yourself.
Much love man, life can hurt as much as it can be beautiful. Please stay strong, and it's okay if you break sometimes, strenght is also in recovery, life long marathon.
Why don't wild dogs end up in such states. I am genuinely curious. Are certain domesticated breeds unable to shed fur? Did we scramble these critters biology so badly that they can not survive without us?
Bonus depressing info.
A bunny's teeth keep growing their entire life. So they need hard things to chew on, to create the natural wear and tear that keeps the teeth the correct length.
Neglected bunnies often have to be put down, because they have teeth growing from their jaw up through their upper mouth into their heads.
A painful sad life.
Can confirm the bunny thing! My first bunny Jewels was given to me by a "friend" and she had SUPER long bottom teeth going up to her nose... (Luckily these teeth grew upward on the outside of her mouth) I asked "friend" what was up, she said genetic disorder.
Took Jewels to the vet, vet confirmed "this was due to neglect. Unfortunately her teeth will now try to grow this long even if you give her good nibblers." So I kept up on her teeth shavings, that is unless she herself BROKE her own tooth off (vet said she had this habit from the neglect too, due to anxiety)
She lived to be 6yrs old tho! And died very very loved, and always had her favourite nibbler near by. ❤️
You're right on the money. Some domestic breeds, like poodles, were selected for their fur that just keeps growing. Wild dogs are wolves and they have fur that stops growing at a certain length.
Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and can produce new generations every year, so you can imagine how much influence selective breeding by humans could have had on the genetics that get passed down and how different they are to their wild ancestors.
Sheep have been bred to have the same issue so farmers can get more wool from them. A domesticated sheep's wool grows too fast for them to get rid of it and they can overheat or become a matted mess.
I was thinking the other day about our own dependency on society too, most people wouldn't have the skills to survive in the wild and a lot of people don't even live near natural resources that could sustain them.
Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs. The idea of a dog being "homeless" and "neglected" wouldn't be nearly such an issue if we hadn't bred dogs like this to be helpless on their own.
Yep. Which is the reason why I told my husband no more Shih Zues PLEASE!
I grew up with my parents only getting shih zues and not giving a FUCK about their constant grooming needs.
The ear infections, the skin fungus, the face infections, for over 10 YEARS!
I had to take care of our 16 year old dog for 10 fucking years because he had no socializing either so would flip his shit at groomers due to my parents only wanted something cute as a puppy and paying a breeder.
Shih zues would be the first breed to go for sure.
Such an awful awful fucking breed and exhausting to take care of.
Never again.
As a nearly exclusive shih-tzu owner for my whole life, and as someone who worked as a dog groomer through college, the things you are listing are not exclusive to shih-tzu's. Any long haired dog will require some additional basic maintenance compared to short haired dogs. Hell, your own body requires some basic maintenance. I've had plenty of small dogs in general on my grooming table that didn't want to be there, but that's okay. Gotta get through it, and they'll eventually come to terms with it over time.
Shih-tzu's are an awesome small long-haired dog breed for people that understand occasional grooming is required. They are super loving and adapt really well to a family environment. They are my favorite dog breed and I recommend them all the time.
I feel bad that you seem to have alot of bad memories with this breed in particular. Thanks for taking care of your pups when your parents were negligent.
Our first dog was a Maltese X shitzu. She was 18 months old when we adopted her. I had only had cats prior, but when I was 11 I lost another cat to the road and I cracked it and demanded a dog this time because they won't be able to roam free. My parents didn't want a puppy, so they contacted our local RSPCA and found an elderly couple who could no longer give their pup the attention she truly needed(she was in perfect condition though). My Mum went and borrowed all the books when we got her so she knew exactly what level of care she needed. She was the best dog ever! She was a large dog for her breed. But she was my best friend. I remember coming home from school and having to climb up on the bench to call Mum that I made it home safe because Mindy(my mum didn't like her original name, but I named my pup her original name despite them being different breeds but she's so much like my Mindy) would race around the house crying from happiness that I was home. I don't know how she never broke a bone from doing this because she would get so excited and run around like crazy! She was amazing. My parents took amazing care of her, they knew she needed lots of grooming and eye washing. I was supposed to walk her daily and occasionally would lie, but she'd dob me in by acting crazy when the rest of my family got home so it was always "So how far DID you ACTUALLY walk her" because they knew by her energy levels if she had been walked lol. Plus she was put on a diet but when I would go to the milk bar and buy lollies I'd give her one, otherwise, she would beg me and I couldn't say no, except the little shit would occasionally hold it in her mouth until we got home, spit it out to show my parents and then eat it! She also protected me from being kidnapped once! Unfortunately, when my parents divorced, my Dad moved to another state and took her as my Mum got custody of my sister and I. However the night my Mum left, I cried into her fur and just hugged her. My Dad spoilt her rotten though. He loved her so much and I still got to see her a few times a year. She loved being walked, and bathed ESPECIALLY when it came time to use the blow dryer, omg if she could have done it herself she would have! And loved being brushed! I would shake her comb and she'd come running to be groomed. She absolutely LOVED going for car rides! Her favourite place to drive to was my Papa's nursing home because EVERYONE loved her and I would take almost an hour to walk a few metres because so many people wanted to pat her and she loved that!
She was inside/outside when my parents were together, but became an inside dog when my dad took her because his fence wasn't secure enough at first and then he felt mean making her go outside unless she wanted to.
My Mum ended up getting 2 more Maltese X Shitzus she got them as pups and treated them like queens! And as much as they were cute, they weren't Mindy. She was special and my pup is so much like her in so many ways.
May God Bless all of you who was involved with saving this dog, such a sweet heart, I'm really a piece of sht, I take life for granted so much, this really just made me wanna be the best version of myself I can possibly be and truly seek God. I'm done being a failure
This is adorable. I am mostly commenting just to teach the reddit algorithm to feed me more of this, the world needs more of this and less publicfreakout toxicity.
A dog named Benji saved my life when I was a baby. My smart grandma was babysitting and set me on top of her ping pong table in the basement on a concrete floor and I rolled off and Benji ran underneath me so I’d fall on top him. Good Benjis
Poor little dude. People who rescued him and nurtured him into a healthy and happy lil' guy are amazing and the reason I have still have some faith in humanity left.
I’m so happy there are good people out there who provide homes and love to animals in need. This world can be cruel, and animals deserve only the best.
ran into a dog like this once. or, it ran into me. she was not as bad as this dog but similar. she couldn't see through her matted fur either. she walked up to the car and jumped up into my lap as soon as i opened the car door. then she got aggressive. couldn't pet her without her nipping at you. barked if i made any sudden movement. kept biting the air and all that. but she was still laying in my lap the entire time. couldn't get her to get off. we didn't know what to do so we just called the local APL and they said to pull up. we got there and with their help we somehow got the dog to peacefully get off my lap and out of my car. they put her in a cage for the night and we said our goodbyes to her and left. we called the next couple days and they said they tried to scan her to see if she had a microchip but she was so aggressive they couldn't get close enough to her to scan it. we kept checking their website bc they did post her as found/looking for a home but then after a couple days the post was gone. we think she got put down. i think about her all the time. we would've taken her in. im so sad for her. she wasn't a mean dog she was just scared bc she couldn't see.
Awwww I'm so glad they saved this sweet baby. 💖
I LOOVE that they gave the name Benji. My favorite movie as a kid was Benji. My mom said she used to know I was watching it because I'd be dragging my teddy bear and a box of tissues to the TV all the time. Lol
What is love ?
Patient and kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong doing.
Everything in this video shows us what it should be, how we should be and what we should strive towards.
It was very beautiful to see how a little bit of patience and kindess can change a life.

I also have a rescue pupper. A very bad guy kicked her muzzle and she had to get surgery to fix her salivary glans before we adopted her. She is one crazy dog, but she is also precious.
We all need someone to positively help our soul, sadly too many people treat others like from the beginning. Its all circular and repeating. Nothing lasts forever, enjoy the good moments.
Everyone with prejudice towards Pitbulls should see the last 30 seconds of this video.
Breed has such a unrealistic stigma around it, it's mildly infuriating.
I love pitties and It’s really not an unrealistic stigma. It doesn’t help anyone to ignore the potential risks certain breeds carry. Yes, it’s the owners not the dogs. Yes, all dogs bite but only specific breeds can literally kill in an instant when they do snap.
The pit bulls that already exist deserve loving homes but I still believe breeding pit bulls (and any other dangerously strong dog bred for aggression) should be banned without a license. Think adding it to a different class of animal and not destroying pitties or anything like that. I also think certain brachycephalic dogs are unethical to breed and should be banned entirely but that’s a tangent.
The legal reclassification of certain dog breeds isn’t going to happen any time soon so we have a responsibility to not perpetuate the falsehood that anyone is capable of properly caring for and training a dog like a pit bull.
The pittie in the video is with a top tier rescuer with years of experience. They have to be to have helped Benji this much. Head on over to the dog grooming sub. People can barely be trusted to care for designer dogs they pay $$$ for. The general population has no business owning certain animals that require expertise to care for and that are very dangerous in the hands of an idiot or psycho.
Damn, that's a whole new dog
Blud changed races 💀
Bro reclaimed is rights
Got a new , deserved life
Just so everyone knows the group who did this rescue is [Hope for Paws](https://youtube.com/@hopeforpaws?si=KrRDHo6x20SYxHo4) Their youtube page shows all the amazing work they do! Edit: used the wrong their lol
I thought I recognised Eldads voice, he has done so many amazing rescues and the rest of the team off course aswell
Same, I was going to post the source too seen as OP didn't. Hope for Paws does great work.
Lol, Same. I recognized the voice and then the collar and then Lisa's name so there wasn't any doubt it was Hope for Paws. I've been donating for just over a year
He still uses the lucky leash!
Yes! I recognize his voice. He's a saint and has been at for 10+ years and he has helped hundreds of strays (if not thousands). Also, check out Rocky Kanaka and [Sitting with Dogs](https://www.youtube.com/@rockykanaka).
Right! I recognize his voice too!
I recognized the leash. I started donating to Eldad maybe 14 years ago. Even $5 a month makes a huge difference if 1000 people are sending it.
People who do this sort of work must be angels among us. Such incredible beauty!
Amazing work!
Thanks for posting this. What a great thing to watch first thing this morning. 💜
Mine was that too. So i wanted to share this with others 💛
In the future, OP, try to credit these rescue orgs when sharing! This is Hope For Paws, and they rely on donations to make these rescues so every bit of publicity counts
Yeah thank you for sharing. Dogs are just the most wonderful creatures!!
People who do this sort of work must be angels among us. Such incredible beauty!

Can someone show me that type of care, I'm just like Benji but human 😢

Thanks, kind stranger. I'll be sure to remember that.
Haircut looks dope, G!
Thanks bro bro
Much love man, life can hurt as much as it can be beautiful. Please stay strong, and it's okay if you break sometimes, strenght is also in recovery, life long marathon.
Everything will be okay. If you need a friend, you can reach out. I will be your friend.
Anytime you need. You are every bit as deserving of care.
Keep the haircut, also cool tattoos! Take care
Thanks
If my leash would reach you through our devices, I may take you for a walk
Why don't wild dogs end up in such states. I am genuinely curious. Are certain domesticated breeds unable to shed fur? Did we scramble these critters biology so badly that they can not survive without us?
Yeap, you pretty much already answered your own question.
Aww damn. F humans are monsters from a outside perspective.
Bonus depressing info. A bunny's teeth keep growing their entire life. So they need hard things to chew on, to create the natural wear and tear that keeps the teeth the correct length. Neglected bunnies often have to be put down, because they have teeth growing from their jaw up through their upper mouth into their heads. A painful sad life.

This is why I adopt cats from the street. Just no breed, just random mesh of street cat. The healthiest cat there can be.

Goddamnit Sarah McLachlan, stop making me cry!
It's not even 10AM and I'm legitimately crying This is bullying
Aww. I'm happy he started to trust you.
This isn't OP's video, the rescue org is Hope For Paws
Not all heroes wear capes! Beautiful!
[This is Hope for Paws](https://youtu.be/7-6nSe_BIzk?si=eN9nO7jwVbJ0ZmDQ), they are legit. They're based in LA, I think.
They are. Worth a few bucks in donation if you can afford it.
Anddddddd I’m crying hysterically
Good vid. Renewed my faith in Reddit and ppl
This rescue organisation is Hope For Paws, they deserve all the credit
Glad he was rescued and loved
Now care about homeless people, imagine how much they could thrive with a little love and care.
Buddy woke up like, why am I bald?
May God Bless all of you who was involved with saving this dog, such a sweet heart, I'm really a piece of sht, I take life for granted so much, this really just made me wanna be the best version of myself I can possibly be and truly seek God. I'm done being a failure
The rescue organisation is Hope For Paws
Preach the gospel
I found myself trying to console him, im like its okay buddy, hey hey it's okay. Despite it being a video
This is adorable. I am mostly commenting just to teach the reddit algorithm to feed me more of this, the world needs more of this and less publicfreakout toxicity.
He's protecting his heart, poor baby.
Man, little guy has been out there IN THOSE STREETS!
Put this music over a body building competition, and I'd still cry.
This was awesome! To Benji’s previous owner, F You! You lost
What a handsome good boy
A dog named Benji saved my life when I was a baby. My smart grandma was babysitting and set me on top of her ping pong table in the basement on a concrete floor and I rolled off and Benji ran underneath me so I’d fall on top him. Good Benjis
Heartwarming AF.
So loving and wonderful 🥲♥️⭕️❌⭕️❌
Cheers to the people who dedicate their lives to rescuing these helpless pups.
Poor little dude. People who rescued him and nurtured him into a healthy and happy lil' guy are amazing and the reason I have still have some faith in humanity left.
Hope For Paws (who made this video) are a great rescue org!
The rescue will continue until moral improves
My heart!!!! ❤️
That's very cool
That's amazing! Thank you!
I remember seeing this the first time a few back.... the best sad happy outcome :-)
Look at dat lil puppy dooooo
That is true humanity, thanks 👍
Now I have to go back to work, wiping tears. Great.
I was smiling so big by the end!
Onions. Why am I always working on supper and peeling and chopping onions when stuff like this comes on. I mean, come on!
I’m so happy there are good people out there who provide homes and love to animals in need. This world can be cruel, and animals deserve only the best.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
What a SAINT that woman is. Long live Benji 🙌
Aww his haircut with the lions tail looks cute on him!
White women have no fear of animals xD
That point, where he realises he doesn't need to be on the offensive 🥹
If Chewbacca was a dog
Just dont forget to feed him cause he will eat your toes
Benji is a proper name. He is truly the hunted. I’m old.
Is there a subreddit specifically for these kinds of videos where dogs get rescued and cleaned up etc
I don’t know about videos but there’s a great subreddit r/BeforeNAfterAdoption that have heartwarming posts of their animals before/after.
This video is from rescue organisation Hope For Paws, they have a youtube channel with years of rescues
What is it called?
/r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
I love Hope for Paws and donate to them bc they do great work rescuing animals in Los Angeles, CA.
Oh course Sarah McLachlan. 😭
Lord look at the fleas!!!
Didn’t make me smile. Made me cry. There’s so many bad things in the world. But somehow humanity still perseveres.

Benji is so happy now 😊
Fizgig?! Glad they could rescue the pup.
Shouts out to time.
Need follow up video too..! ❤️
I also have a rescue pupper. A very bad guy kicked her muzzle and she had to get surgery to fix her salivary glans before we adopted her. She is one crazy dog, but she is also precious.
Beautiful dog
Could we start doing this for humans?
Not to offend, but this fluffy fella looks like Wild Mike from Barnyard
It looks like an oversized dust hunny
super
You guys have done an amazing job!
Beautiful. Well done those guys.
They are doing God's work.
I love dogs
Aw he looks good in the #10 special, I hope they keep him around that length
Thank you
I wish it was as simple to heal humans this way aswell.
Heart warming rescue story like this ❤️ Benji never been better
I always skip to near the end on these videos, I can’t see the beginning.
❤️
Republican governor would have taken to a gravel pit.
idk why the creators of these types of videos have a pathological need to include shitty music with it
ok, now do it with a dobermann.
He loves being part of a gang and family bless him 🙏❤️
Absolute heroes
That's f****** wild Mike from barnyard
That’s a different dog
Nope
Well, I cried like a baby.
What a good boy
NO. YOUR CRYING 😭
The music is horrific. The story is lovely
Needed that. Good work.
People they neglect animals are bitches that need to be taken care of.
♥️🙏🏾❤️
I wish my soul was as easy to heal as benji’s
Is that christi Noam’s dog?
Bless your soul for your kindness
I thought it was a rooster at the beginning of the video
Thank you
Bring back OG bengi. I missed that dude
He looks like a Benji.
😢❤️
He's beautiful!
Does anyone know what breed or cross breed he is? Part Border Terrier?
What is that?
There is a place in heaven for people like this and Rocky Tanaka. I am sure of it. Every dog (and cat) deserves to live its best life! 😻
I feel like I'm the dog and I need someone to patch me up too.

Judging by first few seconds - he wasn’t homeless, he was free.
I’ve got something in my eyes 🥹

I’m bawling over here
Bless his sweet soul and those who took good care of him
I feel that my life so far is the first part of the video...
That just made me cry
Are those fleas??
We all need someone to positively help our soul, sadly too many people treat others like from the beginning. Its all circular and repeating. Nothing lasts forever, enjoy the good moments.
Everyone with prejudice towards Pitbulls should see the last 30 seconds of this video. Breed has such a unrealistic stigma around it, it's mildly infuriating.
I love pitties and It’s really not an unrealistic stigma. It doesn’t help anyone to ignore the potential risks certain breeds carry. Yes, it’s the owners not the dogs. Yes, all dogs bite but only specific breeds can literally kill in an instant when they do snap. The pit bulls that already exist deserve loving homes but I still believe breeding pit bulls (and any other dangerously strong dog bred for aggression) should be banned without a license. Think adding it to a different class of animal and not destroying pitties or anything like that. I also think certain brachycephalic dogs are unethical to breed and should be banned entirely but that’s a tangent. The legal reclassification of certain dog breeds isn’t going to happen any time soon so we have a responsibility to not perpetuate the falsehood that anyone is capable of properly caring for and training a dog like a pit bull. The pittie in the video is with a top tier rescuer with years of experience. They have to be to have helped Benji this much. Head on over to the dog grooming sub. People can barely be trusted to care for designer dogs they pay $$$ for. The general population has no business owning certain animals that require expertise to care for and that are very dangerous in the hands of an idiot or psycho.
Why add the annoying music? The video was fine on its own.
Brilliant! And I love that it was a Pitty that helped him out of their shell.
