Powerful storytelling about how trauma shapes survival instincts. The transition from hyper-vigilant street mode to acually trusting rest is huuge for dogs like Sven. I've volunteered at a rescue before and that shift from scanning for danger to those deep sighs is everything. That bullet extraction though, damn.

Sadly a very large number of dogs we help have been shot, many multiple times by different weapons & always when running away. Some patients have been paralysed by them. It's so sad
