When we adopt a dog, only part of that decision is up to us. Most of the time, our dogs select us first. Some dogs even manage to catch us off guard and make us fall in love with them when we least expect it.

That was the situation with a dog in a shelter. She fell in love with a news reporter who was in the shelter covering a story. So she was prepared to go to any length to get his love back. That journalist had no idea that his own tale was about to become even more famous than the one he was covering.

Many shelter dogs were curious by the man, but one dog was not terrified. She approached the reporter and lavished him with affection. The journalist’s emotional connection with the puppy was recorded on tape. It went viral on social media, touching people’s hearts all across the world. This video perfectly illustrates how dogs select humans.

A Life-Changing Hug
The dog is clutching the reporter and refusing to let go in the footage. She grips his leg hard and presses her head against him. The poor dog appears to be bored of being alone in the shelter, and she appears to have had a litter of puppies before arriving at the shelter. As a result, she was anxious to meet someone who actually loved her.

Even though the man is probably perplexed by the dog’s activities, he cheerfully supports her. He tenderly rubs her head, making her clutch to him even more. The movie is just around 30 seconds long, yet it contains one of the most beautiful embraces ever captured on film.

As this cute video spread throughout the internet, it was accompanied by a heartbreaking narrative. After their memorable hug, the news reporter apparently adopted the dog. The dog had picked the news reporter, and he couldn’t say no. Everyone who commented on the video agreed that the dog’s adoption was unavoidable. You have no option but to adore a dog who cuddles you for that long.

It’s great to see positive endings in videos like these. The dog and the man were clearly intended to be best buddies. So, the next time you’re seeking to acquire a dog, be patient because the ideal dog will adore you as much as you adore them. After all, our relationship with our canine companions is unshakable.
