Shy shelter dog’s joyful reaction to being adopted
If you ever needed convincing as to why to adopt a pet rather than buy, this video shows how much adopting changes an animal’s life.
Benny the pup was left at Carson Animal Care Centre, a kill shelter, in Gardena, California. Benny sat for weeks and weeks not knowing what the future would hold – a fact that we’re sure he knew as evidenced by his heartbreakingly shy and timid nature when first approached in the video.
But everything changed for Benny when a family decided to take him to a loving home. Luckily, the beautiful moment was captured on video so we can all enjoy the emotional rollercoaster with Benny and the family!
While initially apprehensive and confused, once Benny walks out of the shelter to his freedom you can see the slow realisation dawn on him that he’s life is only going to get much better from this point. His tail start wagging and he jumps around with utter joy.
We wish you a wonderful life, Benny!
