Shelter Pups Need You

Wow, did you get something in your eye as well?

This heartwarming clip shows us the many, many various poignant reasons why we should adopt a shelter puppy. It mainly details the story of an unnamed dog who looks back at his life. He was born with a condition that didn’t allow his legs and limbs to grow properly, mainly due to malnutrition. “Humans came and went,” he said, but none of them really wanted to keep him, probably because of his legs. It all was okay, though, because one day a couple decided to foster him so that he could eventually find his forever home.

But along the way, they “accidentally” fell in love with the adorable, quirky little fellow, and decided to keep him. Now the couple also fosters other dogs to give them a second chance, and the many reasons to adopt a shelter dog became evident. We humans need dogs as much as they need us. We depend on them to help keep our hectic stress levels down, and they are just such good companions.

Saving one dog will not change the world, but certainly for that one dog, the world will change forever. Here, go grab yourself a tissue.
