I clicked WHYDIDN'TILISTEN?!? I'm too far away (1/2 a country; if I was in the south, he'd be adopted!!) but absolutely expect to see someone take this amazingly pitiful, making him all the sweeter puppy dog!! I need to go look at something cheerful to not cry- seriously.
I know exactly which dog youre speaking of, I didn't even need to click - and I want to adopt him so much. I'm hoping this viral campaign will help him get to his forever home; poor baby doggins, he deserves to be spoiled and pampered the rest of his life and I wish I could be the one to do it.
Pretty much. I saw him on Facebook this morning and cried. If I lived in Miami I'd skip work and go pick him up right now.
Right? And then the comment about how for every dog that has a viral story, there are hundreds, thousands, that don't. OMG. Why can't I be insanely wealthy and adopt them all?

Totally. I really want a 3rd, but my vet bills from this week reminded me that I cannot afford another trouble maker.

I want him so much. I saw the post on FB and shared it, then thought of him all night while my puppies slept on my bed. Every dog deserves a warm bed and cuddles.

I saw this on Facebook this morning and it made me cry... and also pissed me off because the friend who was tagged in it is currently trying to dump her senior cat and dog because of a new baby, and it reminded me how much she sucks.

Thank you all for making me think maybe I am a little normal. The other day I got upset and almost cried thinking about all the kitties who live outside (feral) who have never been petted. Like I was getting upset thinking about how all these cats have no idea what it is like to be petted and loved. I feel the same for this doggie. So many feels.

On December 16, his family betrayed him and walked him into the Miami-Dade Animal Care Center, removed his leash and walked away.
Fucking raaage! I don't understand how heartless you'd have to be to do something like this. How could anyone with half an ounce of empathy just leave that sweet puppy and walk away.
I seriously tear up at that photo. Anyone who thinks pets don't have feelings can go jump off a bridge - that poor boy is heartbroken. I am so hoping that he got adopted today, and that someone films or photographs the occasion - he deserves a happy ending!

I think about stuff like this all the time. And how lucky my kitties and dog are to not know what it's like to be cold, hungry, scared, or lonely (although if you ask them, they are horribly mistreated). I love spoiling my animals, but I want to spoil all the animals.
Also, according to the Instagram feed he is being adopted today. I hope that is true!
I wish people would stop cutting onions in my office.
According the the Instagram feed, a rescue group is going to take him. He will be adopted through that group. Hopefully that adoption will be soon. ETA: Nevermind, in the comments it says that he is going to a home, not a rescue. YAY!

That poor, poor pup. Stories like his are how I ended up adopting a dog in the first place when I was pretty opposed to having one all of my adult life. I'm so glad he's going to a loving home now. His old owners are jerks of the highest order.
