Living in a shelter can be hard for animals but these two pit bull terriers have managed to make the best out of a bad situation.
Moon Pie and Clipper, both two years old, have been joined at the hip for the past six months in Lifeline Animal Project, an intake shelter for stray dogs in Atlanta, Georgia.
Recently, Connor Abdo, an animal welfare advocate, treated the “best friends” to a day on November 5 and captured all of their fun on camera.
“The shelter is a very stressful environment for the dogs so having a friend is really helpful,” Abdo told Newsweek.
From making friends with strangers to slurping a puppuccino, Abdo said, “they had the best day ever.”
The video was uploaded to Abdo’s dog supply business, @salvation_bark, on TikTok, where shelters receive a donation of half the proceeds.
During the video, the pair can barely contain their excitement as they smile while riding in the back of Abdo’s car. It soon becomes clear that they weren’t shy and are willing to greet everyone they meet.
“They are the definition of you can’t judge a book by its cover. They are both big softies who love kisses, other dogs, and playing,” Abdo said.
However, the video has a bittersweet twist because it’s the final time the tan and white dog, Clipper, will play with Moon Pie, as he has since been adopted.
“It is sad for Moon Pie that his friend is gone but we are confident he will be adopted soon. It is difficult to find an adopter willing to take both dogs though.
“Moon Pie would thrive in any environment. He’d love a dog friend,” Abdo said.
So far, the clip has over 6,000 views and more than 1,000 likes along with plenty of comments.
One user said: “I’m a volunteer and I do this for all the long term dogs at a local shelter. They needed that much needed break from the shelter. So thank you!!!”
Another pointed out: “They seem so well behaved!”
“Such softies who just need love,” said another person.
Another said: “I hope they find forever homes soon.”
Recently, a shelter volunteer showed the reality of living in a shelter for one dog who is yet to be adopted after 1,058 days. But dreams do come true, as proven by Nova, a dog who has finally found a loving family to call her own after more than two years in a shelter.
An Elderly Dog Weeps With Joy When Her Best Friend Returns From The Army!
Not only the dog but even you will also be touched by this touching reunion…!
Your dog really missed you. That’s Unconditional love. Such a special love. Happy they have reunited.
Buddy is a 13-year-old Golden Retriever who spent her entire life with her best friend Hannah Foraker. And Hannah enlisted in the army and went to basic training in Oklahoma when she turned 21.
When Hannah returned home for Christmas after three months away at basic training, she couldn’t wait to see Buddy. Buddy couldn’t contain her joy and excitement when she saw Hannah again. She buries her head in Hannah’s lap and begins to cry in joy the moment she sees her after three months apart. Of course, Hannah was moved and began to pet her beloved friend.
It’s photos like this that bring tears to your eyes…!
Buddy is very old now, art.hritis, and mostly de.af, but nothing stopped her from receiving Hannah with the best welcome.
Foraker said: We opened the front door and she came running out and greeted me and my family, but then kind of did a double-take and came back to me.
The dog is the most devoted of all animals. They never forget those they love and give them “Unconditional Love”.
