This is the tear-jerking moment a man finally got his rescue dog to wag its tail and bark for joy - SIX YEARS after he saved him from a fight pit.
Chris, an IT professional, took itear. jen tattered and traumatised Scooby after he was recovered during a police raid on an illegal dog fighting ring.
Mixed breed Scooby spent over a year in a local shelter until the court case was settled.
Even then Scooby was at-risk of being put down, as no one wanted to adopt a dog with a fighting past.
The dog - aged between seven and nine-years-old - was completely traumatised from its treatment by the dog fighters.

01:31 Okay, so I think Scooby knows that he has done something
01:48 that he should not have done.
01:50 But I'm also confident that he knows
01:52 he's not going to be in trouble for it.
01:55 So, Scooby and I have made a lot of progress.
01:57 So I would never compromise any of that progress
02:00 by being upset with him about anything, really.
02:04 But especially for something that's actually my fault.
02:08 Like, I didn't put the garbage away when I left the house.
02:11 So, it's okay buddy.
02:14 It's okay.
02:16 This is my fault.
02:18 You're good buddy.

02:21 I have spent months trying to help Scooby find his voice.
02:37 Trying to undo whatever the dog fighters did to him
02:40 that made him a silent dog.
02:42 He's getting more confident about making noise
02:45 and he gets treats for doing so.
02:47 Bananas are probably his favorite reward.
02:50 Although we're still working on taking small bites.
