Please tell me I'm not the only one who's cried over dogs I've never met π₯ππΎ
Dare you not to ugly cry! π Those heartbreaking sounds coming from the pup were like an arrow that shot into my heart and then poured like a waterfall from my eyes!
This was filmed yesterday morning at HALO Animal Rescue in Phoenix. The man is Carlos. Came to the shelter to look at dogs. Told the front desk he was "just browsing." Not sure if he was ready for the commitment. Staff brought him to meet a brown mixed-breed named Rocky. Shepherd and Lab mix. Four years old. Carlos sat on the floor with Rocky for about thirty minutes.
Rocky was calm. Sat beside Carlos. Let Carlos pet him. Normal meet-and-greet. Then Carlos stood up.
Told staff he wanted to "think about it overnight." That's when Rocky moved.
Didn't bark. Didn't jump. Just rushed forward and wrapped both front paws around Carlos's leg. Held on tight. Carlos tried to take a step. Rocky slid across the floor still gripping Carlos's leg.
Wouldn't let go. Shaking. Tail tucked all the way down.
Body trembling. Making this quiet whining sound. Volunteer Jessica was in the room. She said: "Rocky wasn't being aggressive. He was terrified. You could see it in his whole body. He thought Carlos leaving meant being abandoned again." Carlos stood there frozen. Rocky still holding his leg. After a long moment, Carlos knelt back down. Rocky immediately climbed into Carlos's lap.
Still shaking....... And at the end they go away together

This is heartbreaking π Field Trips are the best, esp in June when fun > schoolwork. I remember signing every one of my kids' permission slips for field trips, never once anticipating tragedy #medicinehat #medhat

This cat is Rico the nurse, he comforts the veterinary patients by snuggling next to them, licking them, and warming them with his warmth

When my daughter told me she couldn't finish her homework, I didn't believe her. Then I saw this

The big one is my daughter, whom I rescued from the streets a few years ago. Now, I found this little, scared puppy and brought her home; she instantly took on the role of her "mother" and guards him constantly. Couldn't resist capturing such a lovely moment...
