There are various reasons why your dog yelps when touched or cry after being touched. It could be that your dog is suffering from some physical pain or stress. Dogs can also yelp when they are excited or in need of attention.
As humans suffer from trauma, animals do too. They can develop fear and anxiety, especially when subjected to an abusive environment and neglect. That is what happened to this particular dog that lived in that type of environment.
Kanye was a dog whose previous owners abused. The severe pain inflicted on him caused him to become emotionally scarred. Whenever someone tries touching him, Kanye would withdraw himself to a corner and bellow as if he was frightened of something.

As she started stroking his back, he began to cry so loud, thinking; she probably was going to hurt him. Kanye attempted to get her handoff, but Mitreanu persistently continued gently petting him until he calmed down.
Mitreanu managed to stop the dog from crying with the gentle stroking and loving voice she spoke to Kanye, the caretaker was able to calm the scared pup.
Kanye started crying again as he still could not process the woman’s kindness towards him but stopped after a short while as Mitreanu stayed with him to make him feel safe.
Mitreanu continued to say reassuring words to Kanye, and the dog seemed to understand her as he let her pet him without crying. She showered Kanye with so much love and affection that he stopped crying and started responding more positively with a sparkle in his eyes.
Kanye learnt to accept and feel comfortable being petted by other humans and played with the other dogs in the shelter. After a while, Kanye transformed into a lovable, happy and playful pup. What a transformation!
