Animal abuse occurs far too frequently in a wide variety of settings and societies, but the issue has received little attention from researchers. You might need to speak with someone who has experienced the trauma of being physically and mentally abused in order to comprehend whether a dog can sense abuse.

Animal shelters are crowded with abused and abandoned dogs who have no notion of human kindness or compassion. These abandoned puppies may believe that everything in the universe is terrible.

These hopeless puppies are given a chance to experience love and happiness thanks to the compassionate individuals who willingly donate their time to shelters and rescue groups. The statistics on dog abuse are shocking and all too frequently linked to domestic abuse in the house.

The original poster of today's story had an uncollared dog pay them visits during the day and night. The OP gave him food, and he ate an entire big bowl of food in about 2 minutes.

The OP also mentioned that the dog is so skinny that you can see his hip bones, the tips of his vertebrae, and all his ribs. He really wanted to help this dog after seeing it yelp in a kennel with no bed, house, or bowls of water and food.

So now, the OP is asking...

Dogs are sensitive to mistreatment and will display it in a variety of ways. Redditors declared the OP "not the AH," which means they can go ahead and give the dog all the help and care it needs.
