The heartwarming story of Dora was shared on the We Rate Dogs Instagram page with the caption, "This is Dora. She's going on her first walk after being rescued from a lab facility. 14/10, we are so proud of her."
In the video, you can see Dora moving slowly, almost like she's crawling, as she explores the outdoors with her human companion. What's truly remarkable is how Dora keeps moving forward, encouraged by her human, who continually praises her for doing a 'good job.'

The dog was rescued by an organisation named One Tail at a Time (OTAT), which, according to its website, works with a mission to "End pet homelessness by making pet ownership a joyful and accessible experience for all. We accomplish this by rescuing animals from overcrowded shelters, placing them in loving forever homes, and providing support and resources to pet owners in need."
