This is the heart-warming moment a vet climbs into a cage to comfort a scared dog – even eating breakfast with her.
Graycie had been taken in by the Granite Hills Animal Care in Elberton, Georgia, after being found abandoned miles from home.
And while she was understandably perturbed by her new surroundings, a little love and affection from Dr Andy Mathis at the center soon put her at ease.
Dr Mathis climbed into the cage to help his new arrival acclimatize to her new surroundings, including the animals and humans wandering around outside her cage.
In the video, which has received almost 85,000 shares from the Granite Hills Facebook page, Dr Mathis sets down breakfast for the once-abandoned pooch and then begins to eat his own alongside her — and soon Graycie is looking happier and more comfortable than she has in a long time.
Breakfast: The video opens with Dr Andy Mathis sitting down to breakfast in Graycie the dog’s cage, part of his ongoing attempts to make the pup more comfortable around people and other animals
Wary: At first Graycie, who was found abandoned on a dirt road, doesn’t seem to understand why the bowl is there
Care: Dr Mathis feeds Graycie a little by hand, to show the pup that the food is safe for her to eat
The video opens with Mathis already sitting in the cage, and Graycie backed into a corner. The animal watches, seemingly wary and confused, as Mathis clears a little space and sets a bowl of food down in front of her.
But even as Mathis tucks into his food, Graycie seems unsure of whether to eat, so the good doctor puts down his own breakfast and offers a handful to the pup.
Soon Graycie and Mathis are both eating with gusto, while a cat and another dog, seemingly wandering freely around the room, wander by to take a peek at the new arrival.
By the end of the video, a sated Graycie is allowing Mathis to pet her, and even licks his fingers.
Feast: Graycie is soon feasting on the food in the bowl, while Mr Mathis looks on, amused
Spectators: At one point another dog wanders by the cage to get a peek at the action, but Graycie is too busy filling her belly to notice
Shy: Though she is still shy, a sated Graycie allows Dr Mathis to pet her a little
Affection: The end of the video shows Graycie licking Dr Mathis’s fingers, while another furry spectator looks on
