“Yesterday I adopted the oldest, sickest and sorest shelter dog. I'll never forget his eyes. When I went into the cage he didn't even bother to look. The volunteer asked me many times ‘Are you sure this one?’ YES! This is my dog. He opened the cage and I ran towards him. He looked at me as if he saw an angel.
I hugged him and told him that now he'll be happy again. Then he sleeps in my lap, probably the first peaceful sleep he ever had.
From a dad who saved a soul.”
@BrianJopek This brought tears to my eyes. So many people want puppies or younger dogs they ignore the older one. That poor baby probably gave up hope of ever finding a forever home. Thank the angels above for him finding his.
@mooseandriosmom Made this grumpy old NCO cry a little as well
@BrianJopek @mooseandriosmom Bless you, Brian. I lost my sweet baby of 16 years two weeks ago and I’m still shattered. I rescued her ten years ago and we both had the best happily ever after. ❤️
