Odesa, Ukraine - When Ukrainian dog rescuer Olena approached the dog sitting oddly, she recognized the pain in its eyes. The animal's look broke the rescuer's heart.

"She was badly injured, both of her legs were fractured," wrote the animal lover in her YouTube video, which shows the dog's rescue.

It was easy for Olena to get to the stray she dubbed Zlata.

When Olena approached the injured dog, the pooch didn't snap or bark, but gratefully accepted Olena's touch.
