Shelter dog realizes he’s being adopted and his reaction is overwhelming

Dogs are – without question – the most loyal creatures on Earth. They’re not just helping us at various activities as therapy, emotional support or protection, but they also make our lives better. Honestly, I can’t even imagine how my life would have been without my little Neto.

But yet, despite they offer nothing but unconditional love, there are still millions of dogs that end up in shelters, all over the world, just because humans who owned them forget that a puppy means a lifetime commitment. As a matter of fact, over 3.3 million dogs end up in shelter in United States, every year.

Fortunately, for many of those shelter dogs, a second chance is there to come, no matter how long it takes. It is also the case of Benny, a lovely pit bull.



The pitbull, who is named Benny, first came into the Carson Animal Care Center when he was only eight months old. However, Benny’s luck turned around when a family came in and decided to adopt him. 

The anonymous family provided him a forever home, and the moment that Benny walked out of his kennel to freedom was a sweet one that was caught on camera by staff members.

At first, Benny seems a little cautious. However, the moment he realized that he had been adopted, his tail began to wag non-stop. And to add to the happiness of the moment, Benny then began to repeatedly jump for joy.

“This special little guy captured the hearts of everyone who stopped by his kennel. He hit the jackpot when this beautiful family chose to take him home. Thanks for all you SHARING, checkout his FREEDOM WALK filled with lots of jumps and tail wagging! Happy life sweet BENNY,” the shelter wrote on Facebook.

The sensational video has since been attracting a lot of attention from the online community. Many people wish Benny all the best in his new home or thank the new family for accepting him in.

There were also plenty of people who took the time to reiterate the importance of adoption – which, after seeing the video, makes a very powerful case for it.
