In a video on Reddit, we see the heartwarming images of two dogs comforting their frightened brother Rex.

The video shows a small Shih Tzu dog named Huxley and a white, deaf dog named Winnie trying to care for their big brother, Rex, an English/French Mastiff mix.

Rex suffers from a severe case of anxiety-related behavior due to a very difficult past with multiple owners who mistreated him.

A difficult past

Rex, a sweet English/French Mastiff mix, had a rough start in life. When he was just a little puppy, he lived with people who were not particularly kind to him. They yelled and even hurt him, making Rex fearful and anxious. His early life was filled with fear and uncertainty.

A new beginning

But then a hero came into Rex's life. A man named Ross became Rex's new owner. Ross was patient and sweet, just the right person to help Rex recover. He was now Rex's fourth owner, adopting him when he was 1.5 years old. Rex had finally found a loving and caring home.

Fear in dogs

Ross soon realized that Rex's fear was a result of his difficult past. Fear is when someone, or in this case, a dog, feels very scared and wants to escape from things that scare him. Rex was never aggressive, but his fear made him look scared. He didn't want to hurt anyone; he just wanted to feel safe.

Recovery

Ross spent a lot of time helping Rex become a happier dog. He knew Rex needed love, patience and understanding. In 2.5 years, Rex began to change. He became less anxious and more friendly. Much of his recovery was due to his sibling, Winnie and Huxley.

Loving buddies

Winnie, a sweet white dog who couldn't hear, relied on Rex to understand what was going on around her. Even if Rex sometimes growled because he was scared, Winnie didn't mind. She loved him just the way he was. Rex, Winnie and Huxley formed a close bond and showed that friendship knows no bounds.

The trio became a loving and supportive family. Whenever Rex felt anxious, Winnie and Huxley rushed to comfort him. Their story touched many hearts, and a video of their bond received more than 21,000 likes on Reddit.

A lesson in love and friendship

Rex's story teaches us that with love and support, even those who have had a difficult start in life can blossom. It is a reminder of the incredible bond that can exist between dogs and their owners. Rex's story tells us that with love, kindness and understanding, even the most anxious hearts can blossom with joy.

Rex's journey from fear to friendship is a story of hope and second chances. It shows us that if we open our hearts to those in need, we can create beautiful and lasting bonds that bring warmth and happiness throughout our lives.
