Kkabul, Russell, and Crow were among the 17 dogs rescued from dogfighting. They were trained to fight and they were made to believe that they won’t survive if they didn’t kill other dogs. They lived horrible lives until cops came and seized them from their handlers.
From the dogfighting ring, the trio continued to the veterinary hospital, where they received medical care. Russell and Crow were tougher so they didn’t have to stay very long. Kkabul, however, was in a delicate state. He needed time to recover and gain back his strength.
Eventually, all three dogs continued to an animal rehabilitation and training center in the city. They needed help to overcome their trauma and be able to start fresh. And the only way to ensure their progress was to put them under the expert care of a dog behaviorist.
Russell and Crow didn’t realize they were no longer at the arena. Their reality prevailed and they focused on how to eliminate any dog in front of them. So when they saw each other again, they became aggressive. They wanted to attack one another and they almost thwarted the trainers that tried to break them apart.
For quite a while, Russell and Crow trained without seeing each other. Their handlers used other dogs that did not reciprocate their aggressive behavior. It was a long shot for both of them but it worked.
Meanwhile, Kkabul needed a different kind of approach. Unlike the two, he wasn’t combative. He was tired of fighting and he avoided any and all instances that reminded him of his horrifying past. Instead, he wanted to just sit quietly in a corner and rest.
The trainers reconditioned the dogs’ minds and taught them that they can be together without fighting. And after a month, they showed great progress. Russell and Crow managed to sit in the same room without even snarling at each other. And Kkabul? He learned how to have fun playing with puppies and other dogs.
Kkabul, Russell, and Crow still need a few more time before they can go back into society. But considering their hard work and perseverance, it won’t be long and they will be ready to find their new homes.
