Rescued animals are the best! I have a beautiful border collie/kelpie cross who had been so badly treated before I got her that she was scared of the whole world.
She's still a bit crazy (matches her owner) but very different to how she was over 4 years ago.
I was also traumatised when I got her and I really believe we've helped to heal each other. There are no humans I want to live with, but i'd be lost without her.
She needs a lot of exercise and walking her has helped a lot with depression and also with social isolation because of the other dog owners I meet on our walks.
I love cats too but haven't had one for years because I live near bushland and can't afford a cat run to protect local wildlife from a cat or cats.

I agree! Rehabilitating an animal takes a lot of patience, but you get back what you give a hundredfold.
Your dog sounds so cute ;)
