It was a regular working day for one news reporter as he was heading to a shelter to make a story about dogs that were waiting to be adopted.
In the whole world, especially in the U.S., the number of dogs in shelters has become a burning problem recently. So, it was not a surprise that this reporter got the job to cover the story and make people more aware of this topic.
However, he could not dream that something would happen to him soon, which would change his life forever.
When he came to the shelter, there were many dogs waiting for him, and they were all excited and observing him with curiosity. Deep in their hearts, all of these pups were hoping that someone would come to save them and make them a new part of the family.
No dog was brave enough to make a move until one nice pup came closer to the reporter and gave him a hug. At first, he was surprised, but he thought that she was just bored and that it would not last very long.

But, she didn’t give up as she was holding his leg even stronger. The hug was so heartfelt that he had no choice but to embrace it. He started petting her, rewarding her with the same positive vibes he was receiving.
