When life throws difficult times your way, be like Snickers!
This sweet street dog has literally nothing, yet she has almost everything – all due to her kindness.
She is one of hundreds of dogs that her caregiver, Niall Harbison, feeds on a daily basis. However, Snickers differs from her street buddies in one important way – whenever she receives kindness, she tries to reciprocate.
Needless to say – it’s beyond adorable!
Snickers Is Just The Sweetest Street Dog Ever
Harbison met Snickers for the first time when she was just a puppy. Back then, she had a nice home and a family who loved her. However, as she grew older, she found herself on the streets because her family could no longer take care of her.
Alongside hundreds of other dogs, Snickers’ situation is not ideal. She lives without a roof over her head, proper resources, or constant shelter.
She’s practically in constant danger of being hurt or run over by a car – yet she never loses her captivating smile.
Niall Harbison, who runs a dog sanctuary called Happy Doggo, regularly feeds dogs like Snickers (including her) and tries to keep them as safe as possible.
Though it can be difficult and filled with excitement at times, one day Snickers decided to swipe her caregiver off his feet – with kindness! As a thank you for feeding her on a daily basis, she brought him an old flip flop she found on the streets.
It was Snickers’ way of showing gratitude to Niall – and ever since that moment, she has never stopped surprising him.
Every day, Snickers brings her hero different gifts from the streets, including water bottles, sticks, leaves, shoes, rocks, plastic bags, or basically anything she can find.
“She is one of 80 street dogs I feed every day and she brings me a daily gift,” Harbison wrote on his X account.
Her sweet response to being regularly fed soon went viral, as Harbison decided to showcase Snickers’ kindness to the world. Soon enough, everyone fell head over heels for her!
Even more, Harbison made another surprise for Snickers.
Instead of letting her story remain just on a viral video, he actually decided to take Snickers in his sanctuary and welcome her with a big bag of toys – just for her!
“After giving me over 100 presents on the streets it was time to give her an entire gift set of her own to welcome her in,” Niall stated in a post.
Hopes To Find The Right Home
It only took Snickers a couple of days to fully acclimate to a new environment. She went from a street dog to a “soon-to-become family dog” in a heartbeat, embracing all the good manners and social behaviors of Harbison’s other rescues.
Snickers learned how to play fetch, do zoomies with other canines, and spend quality cuddle time with her foster dad.
“We’ve always known Snickers would make a wonderful family dog, and seeing her adapt so quickly just makes us even more excited to find her the perfect home soon,” Niall wrote on Instagram.
Most importantly, she was finally out of danger and on her way to a forever home.
She’s patiently waiting for Harbison to match her with suitable candidates, delighted by the idea of having a home. Until then, Snickers will continue to have a blast with other rescue dogs, enjoying her safe haven to the fullest.
Her example is exhibit A that kindness always pays off, even in the animal world.
“All she had to give was whatever she could find on the streets and her entire heart. You’ll see Snickers on a couch with her very own humans soon,” he added.
Good luck, Snickers!
