When you walk into a shelter for dogs, you instantly see a lot of dogs, all perhaps living with the hopes that maybe someday someone will come for them. Of course and I believe that, but it was this particular dog who got picked instead.
You know what this post will prove to you? It will prove that a picture is worth a million words. Truly, this has given me hope! This photo went so viral than it literally saved this little pup’s life. How? Well, one fine day The High Plains Humane Society (HPHS) decided to visit the City of Portales Animal Shelter in New Mexico, where they saw this:

Yes, you can see how sad this little pup is while she’s looking out of her cage. It looked like the pup was crying and had tears in her eyes as she sadly looked at a volunteer walking outside her cage. The HPHS instantly shared the sad pup’s photo on Facebook where it almost immediately went viral.
The tears may be because of an eye infection, but nothing can explain the pitiful stare with her down turned ears. After all, like humans, this pup was probably sad, alone and terrified. In just a matter of hours numerous people called the shelter and in a short period of time, someone picked her up and took her to her new forever home 🙂 This is so heartwarming, right?
